Salary: £40-45k
Contract: Permanent, full time or reduced hours
Location: Homebased with regular travel to HQ In Liverpool and across North West
Benefits: 25 days (+ bank and Christmas closure), 5% employer pension contribution
Culture: Flexible, supportive, able to work with autonomy

About the charity

Living in the North West, we're 25% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than elsewhere in the UK and many cancers are much more common across the region. The region also suffers from extreme social-deprivation and health inequalities which, when combined, lead to a lower-than-average life-expectancy and poorer quality of life for our communities.

As the charity's first Philanthropy Manager, you'll support high-net-worth individuals to tackle inequality head on and channel their passion to drive change for local communities.

What will you be fundraising for?

This charity has consistently punched above its weight, achieving an impact beyond its size.

Since 2000, they have invested over £45m in vital research activities in the region's top Universities, constantly pushing the boundaries forward in the fight against cancer.

Your fundraising will support influential, region-wide initiatives, including award-winning public health campaigns. Recent fundable projects include a groundbreaking annual Regional Report on cancer and the innovative Lab-Coat Learning education programme for the region's schools.

There is so much to engage and excite major donors who care about improving outcomes for people in the North West. It's all about levelling the playing field for people living with the harsh reality of a cancer diagnosis.

About you

You'll be joining a passionate and well-established fundraising team. The Board and senior leadership are realistic about what it takes to get major donor fundraising off the ground.

Starting from fairly modest beginnings means there is a blank canvass and plenty of opportunity to bring fresh ideas and approaches. There is a genuine understanding that effective major donor fundraising requires strong foundations and a realistic lead-in time to see positive results. You'll be given the freedom to develop and deliver your own philanthropy strategy, analysing opportunities and challenges, and leading from the front.

Ideally you'll come with experience of working closely with individuals in previous roles, have a proven track-record of making high-value asks and be comfortable working to targets.

The role requires someone with emotional intelligence and exceptional communication skills. It's vital that you're a team player - someone who brings out the best in other people.

If you're driven by making a difference in the fight against cancer, then step forward: we'd absolutely love to hear from you.

Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the first step.

Deadline: Friday 29th November, however we will be accepting applications on a rolling basis so we'd encourage you to get in touch asap if you are interested
