HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT

THE ROLE

We are seeking an ambitious and strategic Head of Development to play a central role in shaping the charity’s next chapter. 

This is a senior leadership position with real influence. We are seeking a candidate with the expertise and drive to enhance and translate our fundraising strategy into a robust, costed and deliverable multi-year fundraising plan. You will shape, produce and execute that plan, ensuring it generates the income required to realise the charity’s ambitions and secure its long-term sustainability.

This role is not simply about meeting annual targets. It is about building a culture of philanthropy, partnership and shared ownership across the charity. It requires innovation, forward thinking and the confidence to challenge established ways of working. The postholder will need to bring colleagues, trustees and partners on a journey, embedding fundraising into the everyday life of the charity and ensuring that development is understood as a collective endeavour rather than a siloed function.
