We are looking for our first Director of Fundraising - someone who will have the opportunity to build and develop a team to help deliver our fundraising strategy.

About Us

St John International is a global organisation – a family of charities whose ambition is to lead in first aid and medical responses to communities’ health needs. With 44 St John establishments across the world, we like to think of ourselves as the ‘scaffolding’ which supports our organisations. We do this by sharing best practice, offering practical and financial support and strategic direction to implement a gold standard of community and emergency care for the sick and the poor everywhere we work. Our focus is First Aid, Ambulance Services, Eye Care, and our Mother and Baby Programme.

Our impact is real, immediate, and lasting as we build stronger communities through our work. Our aim is continuously to improve the quality and scale of training and care we provide around the world, so that we can say with confidence that we represent the gold standard in everything we do. However, we want to do more. We are therefore launching a major fundraising initiative to support our work. We are grateful to an ambitious donor who has invested in a principal gift to create a new fundraising programme to create sustainable, reliable growth. 

What you will be doing

The Director of Fundraising will be a key member of our executive team reporting directly to the Secretary General. As our first Director of Fundraising, you will have the opportunity to build and develop your own team to help you deliver the fundraising strategy.

In taking forward the strategy, you will identify and articulate areas for support, research relevant funding potential and secure income through the development and execution of both the short and long-term fundraising strategy across the funding spectrum. You will have the confidence and experience to help us to deliver a longer-term strategic approach to continued fundraising, based on organisational and business objectives.

With our donor’s generous gift, we aim to build a thriving, major gifts programme which builds capacity and delivers a significant return on our donor’s investment. It is our aim to raise £15million over the next 4 years.

You will be responsible for building a fundraising team and leading fundraising in all areas, from major gifts relationships, completing complex bids to grant-making Trusts and Foundations and managing and utilising the skills of the Trustees and wider St John network.

You will build and maintain a network of supporters. This will require both organisational and bid-writing skills, as well as the ability to represent us, our work and all that we stand for in negotiations with partners, sponsors and major donors around the world.

1. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE JOB

The Director of Fundraising will lead the continued development, co-ordination and delivery of our new fundraising strategy, to build and maintain philanthropic income.

1. Deliver our new Fundraising Strategy which has been prepared, maximising resources through major donors, trusts and foundations, individual giving, corporates and legacies throughout the world.

2. Build a new fundraising team.

3. Act as an advocate and ambassador for the charity, building and prospecting new relationships with supporters, stakeholders and donors.

4. Work with colleagues to articulate and promote the charity’s unique message.

5. Mobilise potential supporters and advocates within our St John Family.

2. PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

a) Work with the St John International team and trustees to deliver the innovative and varied fundraising strategy.

b) Create and manage fundraising:  major donors, trusts and foundations, corporates, and legacies across the organisation.

c) Monitor, collect and manage information on relevant sources of funding, including public and charitable funds, commissioning and procurement, and emerging opportunities for income generation.

d) Develop, implement and oversee quality control, evaluation and reporting procedures to ensure a high standard of bid submission, monitoring and reporting at all times.

e) Build relationships with major donors and maintain good stewardship of donors and funders. We expect our contributor base to include international donors, and not just those who may be UK-based.

f) Research and write high quality grant applications and proposals for support.

g) Develop, pitch and manage sponsorship proposals and presentations.

h) Work with colleagues to embed opportunities for fundraising and fundraising events through other areas of the charity’s work.

i) Attend networking events, prepare groundwork and establish connections to engage potential donors and develop opportunities.

j) Prepare reports and give presentations on fundraising progress to the trustee board.

k) Identify opportunities to collaborate with global partners to secure additional efficiencies, benefits or increased resources, including the potential for joint fundraising approaches.

About Reprieve

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society. Our aim is simple: to consign the death penalty and abuses carried out in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security” to history, drawing public and political attention to these past harms with a view to preventing them from occurring again.

In our view, you can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.

Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. Founded in 1999, we provide free legal and investigative support to people facing the death penalty and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies – rendition, torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killing.

We fight our clients’ cases in courts around the world; investigate their mistreatment; and advocate on their behalf, encouraging public and political debate of human rights issues.

Reprieve’s main office is in Aldgate, London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

Reprieve works in close partnership with its independent sibling organisation Reprieve US. This collaboration is mutually beneficial to both Reprieve and Reprieve US as it enables each organisation to work more effectively and take advantage of the strategic locations to increase the impact of our work.

Reprieve is an equal opportunity employer and we particularly welcome applicants from Black and minority ethnic communities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those with disabilities. Reprieve is committed to fighting racism and advancing racial justice, both in our work and within Reprieve. 

About the Role

This is a fantastic opportunity to join Reprieve’s dynamic Development Team to secure vital income to power our high-impact human rights work. Working across both Reprieve and Reprieve US, you will make a real impact by focusing on Government and Trusts and Foundation donors. With proven fundraising experience, you will bring specialist expertise in at least one of these fundraising disciplines.

Working with the Head of Development, you will manage relationships with a portfolio of Trusts & Foundations and Government donors, building strong partnerships, and identifying opportunities to enhance collaboration. You will be responsible for securing new grants, managing funding in line with donor requirements, and leading on the preparation of accurate and compelling applications, reports and communications.

You will also be responsible for prospecting and working with the Casework Team and senior leadership team to cultivate new donor relationships, expanding our grants and trusts income in a sustainable and strategic way. Your role will be key in driving sustainable growth and maximising the impact of our funding partnerships

You will be highly-organised, with sound judgment, and the ability to build excellent relationships – both with donors, and colleagues across the organisation. Your exceptional writing skills will enable you to translate technical language into engaging and accessible content for donor audiences. You will have a solid understanding of financial processes, allowing you to be able to work effectively with the Finance and Casework teams to develop project budget and financial reports. A critical thinker and a quick learner, you thrive when taking on new challenges and getting stuck in. You will be ambitious, and excited about raising money for Reprieve.

In return, you will join a friendly, supportive and high-performing Development Team, working together towards shared income targets. As part of a small team, you will benefit from a flexible and collaborative approach, where colleagues step in and support each other. You will have opportunities to develop expertise, gain experience, and access training and professional development as needed. You will work with brilliant human rights lawyers, investigators, and campaigners and will contribute towards addressing some of the most pressing human rights abuses across the world.

You will share our commitment to fighting against racism and advancing racial justice, and understand our responsibility to do our work in a way that does not compound racist structures.

To make this vision a reality, ACT has embarked upon two ambitious multi-year, multi-million pound philanthropic campaigns to support the development of these two new hospitals. It is rare to have one project with an ambition of this kind, and so for two to be built at the same time, no stone must be left unturned and the Charity are looking for two ambitious new fundraisers who shares a passion for their cause, one with a focus on individual philanthropists and the other with a focus on strategic partnerships.

Reporting to the Co-Director of Philanthropy and managing two Philanthropy Leads, the postholder will take over a multi-million pound pipeline, whilst also driving new business. This role is fixed-term for two years.

The role of Senior Trusts & Strategic Partnerships Lead is a brand-new, permanent position and an essential one in helping to seek and grow significant philanthropic partnerships for the Charity. Reporting to the Co-Director of Philanthropy and managing a Trusts Lead, the postholder will refine and implement the fundraising strategy and develop a priority prospect list of trusts and grants.

In both cases, candidates will be a motivated and experienced fundraising professionals who can hit the ground running and lead by example.

We support around 1400 people affected by homelessness per year and in the last 12 months ended homelessness for 446 people, predominantly in by sourcing accommodation in the private rented sector.

There are opportunities to provide direct support as well as working extensively with local teams and other parts of the organisation to influence policy and practice developments. We are looking for someone with post qualification experience of working within complex systems and you may have direct experience of working with people who experience homelessness.

You will be excited by the prospect of working innovatively to deliver services locally alongside the Skylight team, as well linking in closely with the wider Psychology team to develop the service.
