Director of Fundraising

Wokingham Berkshire, United Kingdom First Days Children's Charity Full time €55,000

Charity People are honoured to be working with the fantastic First Days charity, on their search for their first ever Director of Fundraising to spearhead a new era of fundraising and take the charity into an exciting new era.

First Days was started in 2013 in response to needs in the local community in Berkshire. Quite simply: there were people with stuff they didn't need and people who desperately needed it. The charity grew very quickly and now, nearly eight years later, they have helped over 10,000 children, and distributed over 250 tonnes of donated goods.

Their aim for the charity is very clear: they want to close our doors because no one needs their service anymore. However, with 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK they actually need to do the opposite - they need to boldly transform our service in order to launch a project that has the capacity and capability to help children across the UK.

This is their first ever Director of Fundraising role, and the postholder has an incredibly exciting brief: to take fundraising to the next level, shape and deliver a new strategy as they see fit, and build a solid income foundation for years to come, transforming how fundraising is delivered for the charity.

- Salary circa £55,000 per annum.

- Flexible working from the start, for all employees

- A full-time role, based out of their Wokingham office

- 28 days annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays and in addition to office closure at Christmas

- A company pension scheme, with 3% employer contributions

- A salary sacrifice electric car scheme

About the role

The role will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, and be integral to this new fundraising phase, with responsibility for building and delivering a new comprehensive strategy to achieve continued growth and impact. Initial focus will be on corporate partnerships, major donors, and grant applications, and ensure that marketing messages are aligned and across the organisation to maximise reach and fundraising potential.

About you:

They are looking for an individual with boundless ambition, a strategic mindset, and motivated by the potential to make their own stamp on how fundraising is done at First Days. Your fundraising experience across multiple income streams, combined with inspiring leadership qualities, networking prowess, strategic viewpoint and experience with high-level stakeholders will set you apart and ensure income targets are achieved across the team.

You will be able to demonstrate:

- Strategic planning and forecasting

- Experience of multiple income streams

- Delivering business growth

- Exceptional partnership and relationship qualities

- Managing budgets and KPI’s

- A deep understanding of EDI, and championing diversity and inclusion throughout this role

Charity People are the chosen recruitment partner for this incredible search.

If this leadership role sounds like the next brilliant opportunity for you, please get in touch with kevin@charitypeople.co.uk or tanya@charitypeople.co.uk to discuss how to apply.
