Contract: Permanent, either full-time or reduced hours considered

St Ann's Hospice is growing! Currently in the process of building a brand-new hospice in Heald Green, we're looking for someone with just the right blend of stewardship and new business skills.
What's extra special?
This new role will build on the strengths of an existing and established Major Gifts fundraising programme to provide a significant contribution to the new build target, with plenty of sponsorship and naming opportunities still available.
We're looking for someone who can continue to nurture existing donors, with the exceptional stewardship they are accustomed to. But also spark the imagination of potential new donors, engaging them at an exciting chapter in the hospice's history, and start the journey to becoming loyal St Ann's supporters.
About the role
The role will begin with a focus on capital, but always one eye on future-proofing and long-term sustainability. This is a permanent role and very much viewed as part of the hospice's long-term fundraising strategy. You'll play a vital role in transitioning back from capital campaign to revenue, supporting the organisation to build a robust and sustainable philanthropy pipeline.
It's a lovely mix of stewarding existing relationships and building brand-new ones. You're comfortable and confident researching and developing new contacts, harnessing the power of existing networks. We'd also love to see you bring a positive 'new business' mindset and fresh approach to unlocking new potential.
About you
You're likely to be a seasoned philanthropy professional, ideally with a track record securing gifts at £50k+. You relish the chance to make asks at five and six figures and you'll love working closely with a well-connected and active Development Board.
There's also potential for an experienced fundraiser with transferable skills who can confidently and proactively deliver a new business development pipeline. Or perhaps a sales or business development expert looking to make a transition into the charity sector.
Whatever your background, you'll need to be able to demonstrate an understanding of philanthropy and what makes major donors tick, alongside the appetite and aptitude to new relationships from scratch.
To apply, we'd love to see you showcasing these skills, experiences and personal qualities:
You build strong relationships with a variety of key stakeholders to generate income.
You've got strong budget management skills and you achieve targets.
You work flexibly to meet the needs of donors, understanding there isn't a 'one size fits all' approach.
You raise people up and lead by example.
You're a genuine team player, approaching internal and external relationships with care, compassion and empathy.
If you're as excited by this opportunity as we are, then we'd love hear from you. Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People as the first step.
Deadline: We'll be working on a rolling basis. Please get in touch as soon as possible if you are interested, we would love to begin conversations with interested candidates early.
If a rolling deadline disadvantages you in any way, please get in touch with Amelia and she'll be her very best to ensure you don't miss out.

We match charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.

Between years one and two you will receive a two-week paid break and a budget of up to £1500 to complete a research project on ‘Impact and Sustainability’ and report your findings back to representatives of our Group Board. You will also have the opportunity to have a two-week placement in one of our partner organisations, to help you develop your professional skill set.

This is no ordinary fundraising job! We wanted to call this position ‘Head of Minor Gifts’, but we worried it wouldn't hit your radar during your job search.
At One World Together we're turning the tables on traditional systems of finance for global development to get more funds, on better terms, directly to communities in the UK and globally. We’ve designed a new, affordable and citizen-powered model of philanthropy that dreams of (and is realising!) a community-centred future driven by passionate and committed Global Citizens.
We are seeking an experienced, part-time Head of Individual Giving to help build our small but growing movement into a thriving community moving towards financial sustainability. Alongside building a successful movement for Global Citizenship, you will foster long-term supporters through deepening our Global Citizens’ and donor journeys. You will support our income-generation through organising fundraising events and activities, spotting potential philanthropic and business partnerships and helping to build our long-term strategies for achieving organisational sustainability.
The post is one year in the first instance, with the hope that a successful campaign will secure the position into the future.
Role Description:
We are excited to grow our Global Citizenship membership and Solidarity Funds through nation-wide community building – can you help us do this?
We are looking for someone who shares our values of trust, solidarity and equity, who is proactive and imaginative in their approach to fundraising.

-
Managing a community-building and fundraising budget.
We are a purpose- and values-driven organisation and are looking forward to meeting our perfect match in these areas. We want all interested candidates to know that we are not a target-driven organisation or one driven by the desire for endless growth. We have thoughtfully designed a model that ‘builds in’ financial sustainability and organisational stability, but recognise that we need to invest in a national community building initiative to reach those goals and our future community-centred impact potential.
The Values, Skills, and Experience We’re Looking For
-
2+ years experience in leading, designing and implementing local or national fundraising community building strategies and demonstrable understanding of their reach and/or impacts;

-
Action-oriented, can thrive independently but also enjoys inspiring, coordinating and working with other team members;
-

Brilliant people skills honed through experience working in hospitality, retail, finance, HR, or logistics.

You’ll be joining a smart and dedicated team making progress on some of the most pressing funding questions worldwide in building global solidarity, strengthening community impacts and making positive change (see One World Together).
