We are looking for a Head of Fundraising to lead the successful delivery of Family Fund’s fundraising strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for the right person, both in terms of the role itself, but also the key part you’ll play in helping to directly benefit families raising a disabled or seriously ill child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the Head of Fundraising, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing dynamic, ambitious fundraising initiatives to support a cause that truly matters. Working closely with the Group Communications and Fundraising Director, your primary focus will be on driving growth through diversifying fundraising income streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will be at the forefront of developing innovative campaigns. You will be instrumental in building strong, lasting relationships with new and existing supporters, particularly high-net-worth individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a focus on growth and positive change, you will inspire your team and champion new ideas that will expand current fundraising activity, to create new opportunities for Family Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are looking for a highly motived, capable and experienced Head of Fundraising. You’ll provide leadership and direction on all aspects of income generation. And you will need to have proven experience of securing sustainable income from multiple streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will also have proven experience in developing and growing multiple income streams. You’ll need to have the ability to cultivate strong relationships with both long-standing supporters and new donors, particularly high net worth individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should be a natural leader, someone who can inspire your team, encourage innovation, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. Adaptability and resilience are crucial, combined with exceptional communication skills and a genuine passion for making a positive impact on the lives of families across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a ‘doing’ role as well as a senior one. It’s also a wide role and you won’t be expected to be an expert at everything, so we are looking for someone with the knowledge, confidence and strategic approach to play to your strengths and those of your team. You will also need to use this approach to draw in other expertise and capacity where needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
