"I can honestly say my three years at Settle have been the best years of my fundraising career." (outgoing Head of Fundraising and Senior Leadership Team member Penny Day). 100% of staff would recommend Settle as a great place to work. 95% of staff would agree that Settle is a welcoming and inclusive organisation. When young people in care turn 18, all the support they ve relied on can fall away, literally overnight. Suddenly, they have to navigate adulthood on their own. This would be tough for any teenager, even if they could fall back on their family for help. So it s not surprising that two out of three care-experienced young people feel unprepared to leave care. Too many still don t get the support they need to make it safely past this cliff edge. Care leavers aged 18-21 are nine times more likely to experience homelessness than their peers.

Our client is the UK's only theatre company and participatory arts charity focused on addiction. This charity develops, nurtures and produces new writing and performances connected to substance misuse, touring to off-West End venues, festivals, treatment facilities and other civic spaces. Alongside its productions, they run weekly participatory workshops and delivers drama, dance and creative writing taster sessions in treatment facilities, using creativity to support confidence, self-esteem and lasting positive change in people's lives. Our client is recruiting a Senior Development Manager, and Prospectus is leading the search. Senior Development Manager Full time, 40 hours per week (open to part time, flexible working and job share) Hybrid working (at least 50% office based in E1 5HU) £40,000 £45,000 per annum This is a newly created role, which will help take the charity's fundraising to the next level. The new Senior Development Manager will grow existing income (trusts, foundations and statutory) and develop newer income streams (individual giving and corporate partnerships). Supported by the charity's Artistic Director/CEO and an expert Development Subcommittee, the Senior Development Manager will lead on the development and delivery of the fundraising strategy, securing five- and six-figure gifts and working towards an ambition to raise around £300,000 per year within the first two years. The role also includes oversight of regular supporter communications (including a monthly newsletter) and the use of tools such as Salesforce and Mailchimp, while keeping up to date with fundraising compliance, policy and sector trends. To be successful, you will bring substantial experience of delivering significant fundraising targets, ideally in the arts or cultural, or social welfare sectors, and a strong track record of generating income from a mix of the income streams mentioned above. Applications are welcomed from fundraisers ready to step into their first senior leadership role; however, you will have the confidence to design and implement an ambitious fundraising strategy. Crucially, you will be an excellent communicator and relationship-builder, organised and detail-focused, comfortable managing pipelines and budgets, and motivated by the power of the arts with social inclusion at its core.
