Full-time

Fixed-term 12-month contract from January 2026

Plan International UK is a global children's charity striving for an equal world. One where every child can reach their full potential and every girl can choose her own future.

We bring people together to protect children's rights and keep girls safe, in school and in control of their bodies – even when disaster strikes. And we won't stop until we are all equal.

Due to an internal secondment, a rewarding and exciting opportunity has arisen for a Philanthropy Engagement Officer to join the Philanthropic Partnerships Team in the Major Partnerships Unit (MPU) for a fixed-term role.

As Philanthropy Engagement Officer, you will independently deliver excellent account management and stewardship to a portfolio of existing major donors, contributing to our goals of sustaining and increasing income from high-net-worth individuals. You will also cultivate new prospects, following through leads and delivering persuasive proposals to secure new potential donors. You will also lead on the organisation of key engagement activities with the support of other team members, including in person and virtual cultivation and stewardship events.

We are therefore looking for solid experience of working in a fundraising environment, managing and prioritising a portfolio of funders to secure donations, and experience organising events. You will have worked with a diverse range of donors, and have strong interpersonal, communication, and time management skills, as well as being a collaborative team member.

This is an exciting time to join a high achieving team with lots of ambitious projects under way including the rollout of a new giving circle product and execution of an excellent high-value events programme.

If this sounds like you, and you have a passion for our values, feminist leadership principles and vision, we would love you to apply

For further detail of this role, please see the job profile.

Please note, this role is not eligible for sponsorship and therefore we are unable to provide sponsorship for this role

The deadline for applications is 23:59 on Sunday 16 November 2025

Interviews will take place on Wednesday 26 November 2025

We are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children, young people and adults in our work. We, therefore, apply rigorous recruitment and selection processes to ensure that only those who are suitable are recruited to work for us. Accordingly, appointment to all our roles is subject to a range of vetting checks and for this role this will include a Basic Disclosure and Barring (DBS) check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working for us; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences.

Plan International UK is committed to being an inclusive employer and we welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds.
