Job description

We are thrilled to be working in partnership with Kids Matter to secure their new Head of Fundraising.

This winter, the harsh reality is that 7.2 million low-income households are facing unimaginable challenges—deprived of essentials like food, toiletries, clothes, and basic hygiene. A staggering 1 in 3 children in the UK are trapped in the clutches of poverty.

Kids Matter’s vision is to see every child in need raised in a strong family. Parenting is hard, and even more so for mums, dads, and carers grappling with the daily impact of poverty. That's why Kids Matter run community-based parenting programmes in local communities and prisons, equipping parents/carers with the competence, confidence, and community they need to help their children thrive. The need is growing, and Kids Matter is determined to scale up and see an even bigger impact with many more lives transformed for generations to come.

We’re looking for an inspiring and influential leader to join the Kids Matter Senior Leadership Team as Head of Fundraising. In this exciting role you will inspire, lead, and develop the Fundraising team, ensuring clear objectives, effective performance assessments, and tailored development plans. You’ll lead, shape and deliver an ambitious fundraising strategy, with a target of £854k in year one and continued growth ahead. We are seeking someone who can balance big-picture planning with hands-on management, ensuring everything runs smoothly day-to-day.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

Accomplished fundraising professional with experience in a charity context and a proven track record of consistently meeting targets.
Experience of developing and delivering impactful and integrated fundraising strategies.
Proven experience in trusts and foundations, major donors and individual giving.
Strong leadership skills, capable of inspiring and guiding a team to attain both individual and organisational objectives.
Excellent engagement skills; able to communicate effectively with team members and great at building relationships with people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

This is an wonderful opportunity for a passionate and empathetic Christian to play a part in transforming children’s wellbeing and shaping brighter futures. Bring your energy and determination to a committed, growing team that’s fully devoted to making a meaningful and lasting difference.
