How? Help us double our income and deepen our impact.

Our place-based approach is rooted in early identification, trusted adult relationships, whole child/whole system support and joined-up communities. Our model has been successfully funded so far through a unique collective impact funding model across local and central government, schools and philanthropy, and we aim for a broader mix of funders who are committed to transforming their communities. As we embark on our second decade, we are ready for this next chapter: scaling our place-based model nationally and doubling our annual income from £8m to £16m+.

It will therefore take an exceptional individual to lead and deliver our income strategy across all non-government funding streams - building powerful partnerships with major donors, Trusts & Foundations and corporations.

If you've personally secured transformational gifts, built teams that thrive, and know how to turn vision into strong philanthropic propositions, this is your chance and platform to enact real and lasting change. Underpinning your success in this role will be your broad and robust track record of developing attractive philanthropic opportunities, and engaging high-value donors and securing gifts at the 6-figure level or more. Your natural flair for story-telling and influencing, and approachable and collegial personal style, swiftly engenders trust from those around you. Your entrepreneurial and enterprising mindset, and highly developed interpersonal skills, will inspire confidence and motivate others to drive change. This is a very hands-on role so experience in high-growth charities will be highly desirable, and you will need to be able to navigate some ambiguity and "the new" as we grow. Whether you are securing the gift or supporting others in the success of this, most importantly, you are motivated by achieving transformative outcomes that matter. If you're driven by purpose, inspired by growth and ready to unlock transformational funding for children across the UK, we'd love to hear from you.

As Director of Philanthropy you will: Provide strategic direction and hands-on support to secure major gifts, collaborating closely with internal colleagues and senior stakeholders (including the CEO, Development Board and senior clinicians) to maximise network opportunities.

The role would best suit: A senior philanthropy fundraiser, with proven success in establishing pipelines of HNWI supporters and securing major gifts. An individual with experience of campaign fundraising/working closely with senior volunteers/trustees and senior stakeholders to establish new network opportunities. A strategic thinker with the ability to create long-term engagement plans that consider opportunities for support beyond the immediate appeal. Someone who is happy to be both strategic and hands-on - you'll be comfortable with strategically shaping propositions and guiding senior leadership with HNWI engagements, but equally happy to meet prospects and handle day-to-day stewardship of your own portfolio. Please get in touch as soon as possible to express an initial interest, the deadline for applications (CV and Application Questions) is Thursday 9th April with first stage interviews scheduled to take place virtually on Wednesday 15th April.
