Loughborough, United Kingdom Baca Charity Full time
Job Description

The Talent Set are delighted to be working with Baca, a fantastic charity supporting young unaccompanied refugees in the East Midlands and East of England. It is Baca’s mission to serve young people who have been forced to flee their home countries – offering safe homes and holistic care to inspire hope and enable them to develop independence and build a better future.


The Head of Fundraising & Communications will operate as an effective member of the Leadership Team, reporting directly to the CEO and acting as the strategic lead for Baca’s fundraising and communications activity.


Given the fluctuating nature of statutory income (currently c.75% of total income) it will be the responsibility of the Head of Fundraising & Communications to develop and implement a fundraising strategy that enables the organisation to diversify its income portfolio, ensuring a sustainable funding model that spreads risk and allows for greater donor engagement.


There is a blank canvas to be creative and try new things, with lots of scope for the successful applicant to determine where the network opportunities might lie, build long term relationships and develop an exciting programme of external communications and engagement.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Operate as an effective member of the Leadership Team, working collaboratively to ensure the delivery of organisational objectives.
  • Develop, lead and deliver the fundraising strategy – focused on diversification and sustainable income whilst remaining hands on in the establishment of new income streams.
  • Establish clear stewardship plans for all supporters, maximising their engagement with Baca.
  • Develop and implement the communications strategy – utilising external comms to engage supporters and underpin income generation whilst raising awareness about the issues faced by unaccompanied child refugees.
  • Oversee the generation of tailored, multimedia content that raises awareness of Baca and drives increased support.

Person Specification:

  • Aligned with Baca’s values of: Respect, Integrity, Passion, Grace, Compassion and Wisdom.
  • Proven expertise of fundraising across different income streams (e.g. trusts and foundations, community, regional, philanthropy). Expertise of developing new income streams from scratch/a low base would be beneficial but not essential.
  • Relational approach – focused on developing long term commitments and support from key stakeholders and donor audiences.
  • Experience of working in a communications role/closely with communications teams to maximise the opportunities to engage externally and increase support/awareness.
  • Creative approach to fundraising, with realistic ambitions within a small charity environment.


The deadline for applications is Friday 2nd May, with initial interviews to take place the following week.


To be considered for this position please apply with your CV as soon as possible, regrettably please note we may not be able to reply to each and every application.


We are committed to diverse and inclusive recruitment practises that ensure equal opportunity for everyone, regardless of race, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, age or gender. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and will happily make reasonable adjustments to always ensure a fair process.
