If I could shout from the rooftops about Spoons, I absolutely would. They have been invaluable in providing us with any and every support we could imagine we d need. They have given us everything from trauma counselling to lifelong friends to just listening when I m having a bad day. I can t thank them enough for being the only service throughout this journey that has not let us down at all. I can t explain how much of a lifeline it s been through the first year of my son s life. Parent Spoons is a charity dedicated to supporting families through neonatal care. Their sole aim is to facilitate a community where families who have experienced neonatal care, can come together and feel safe in sharing their experiences and supporting one another. Do you want to form part of the team that support families just like this one? The charity was founded in 2015 by Kirsten Mitchell, after she sought support from other parents she met on the neonatal unit. Spoons evolved from the acronym: Supporting Families of Oldham Neonates and over the past 10 years they have continued to grow and now support thousands of families across Greater Manchester. With an inspirational history, and exciting future ahead, we are delighted to be partnering with this wonderful charity to find them a Fundraising Manager, someone to lead on income generation at this pivotal time. The Role The Fundraising Manager will lead on the delivery of a sustainable and diverse fundraising strategy. The main responsibilities will include: Developing and delivering a fundraising strategy and annual income plan. Growing sustainable income across all fundraising streams, predominantly Community, Individual Giving and Events. Building, nurturing and stewarding supporter relationships. Storytelling and communicating impact via social media, digital campaigns, supporter communications and community fundraising materials. The Person We are looking for a self-motivated, ambitious individual with a proven track record of delivering income from individual giving and community and events fundraising. The person should also have knowledge of other fundraising income streams. Additionally, you should have an understanding of fundraising regulations, GDPR, and a keenness to keep abreast of fundraising best practice. Perhaps most importantly, you should be excellent at building relationships with a variety of stakeholders. You must be organised, driven and resilient, and able to multitask effectively in this varied and interesting role. We are also looking for candidates who are creative with the ability to write compelling communications including social content, campaigns and proposals. This role is a wonderful opportunity to build on previous success and shape the future of fundraising for Spoons to make a real difference to the families this charity supports. Why Spoons? Spoons is often described as a guiding light and a lifeline, and NHS colleagues say that without Spoons, parents experiences on neonatal units would be significantly harder. Joining the small, but mighty, team at Spoons provides a unique opportunity to become part of something incredible, something that will continue to help families across Greater Manchester at a time they need it more than ever. Not only is the team at the Spoons passionate about the work it does, but also puts huge emphasis on creating a positive working culture that supports staff and makes them feel valued in their roles. With a caring, supportive and ever changing working environment you will also receive a generous holiday allowance, a flexible working culture with sensible work-life balance and access to a range of professional development opportunities.

While this position is hybrid, it will require you to be based out of the charity s offices in Bury at least once a week and will involve travel around the North West region.
