Context and Background

The NSPCC's mission is to end cruelty to children. Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our

belief. We all share it. And it drives our Income Generation team to get out there and bring in the

funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse.

We’ve been here for children for over 100 years. From our campaigns to our services- we strive to

make a difference in everything we do. Between 2016 and 2021, we’ve helped make 6.6 million

children safer from abuse.

Within the Income Generation Directorate our aim is to maximise resources for the NSPCC’s

mission by raising funds, providing the best possible supporter experience, and building long-term

relationships between donors and our cause.

To continue to deliver our mission we rely on the fundraising support of people across the UK for

90% of our annual income. We are looking to significantly grow our income in new and innovative

ways. To achieve this growth, we need the very best team in place to deliver to ambitious targets.

suppliers. Campaigns will be delivered through a range of channels, including direct mail and

opportunity is provided to develop your fundraising experience with a sector leading team.

way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives. We want to

ensure roles are accessible and inclusive of everyone, which is why the NSPCC offers a high degree

of flexibility around ways of working.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is at the heart of what we do. At the NSPCC, we understand

how important it is that our workforce is representative of the people we support and who

support us. We believe that every individual has the right to be their true self and to live a full life

without prejudice, fear or barriers. This is the starting point for all our commitments and actions
