Context and Background
The NSPCC is the UK’s leading children's charity. Everything we do protects children today and prevents abuse tomorrow, to transform society for every child. With over 100 years’ experience, our people and partners’ collective power is focused on ending child abuse.
Every child deserves to be loved, cared for, and protected. That’s why the NSPCC listens and responds to children’s evolving needs. Through investing in new services and solutions that combine practice, policy, lived experience and research, we create, deliver and share the most effective ways to protect children.
Our work includes the world-famous Childline service, and our policy, research and campaigning bring about the changes that children need. The NSPCC’s hubs are embedded in areas across the UK, with local teams empowering partners and communities to come together to prevent child abuse and neglect.
We are part of the way through our ten-year strategy focused on creating a safer society for all children, and its delivery will only be possible with our donors’ support. The Income Generation Directorate, which leads the NSPCC’s efforts to raise funds, has evolved into one of the most successful in the sector.
Following a review of the directorate’s income, statutory funding was identified as a significant growth area for the NSPCC, with a new team created in response. Over a four-year period, the Statutory Team has built its pipeline to now secure circa £5 million per annum. There is significant opportunity for further growth, with the team’s role expanding from working with statutory funders across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, to also working on research and tendering opportunities.
WHERE YOU WOULD FIT IN

The Major Giving Department is open and supportive with an active social life.
