Job Title: Assistant Director of Philanthropy & Strategic Partnership Reporting To: Deputy CEO/Director of Fundraising and Communications Manages: Head of Trusts and Foundations, Head of Corporate Partnerships Contract: Permanent Hours: Full time (36 hours per week, flexible) Salary band: £58,000 - £66,000 per annum N.B. To ensure fairness and consistency across the organisation, new colleagues usually join at the first point of the pay band for their role. This helps the employer maintain a clear and equitable approach to pay for everyone joining their team. Location: Remote - with regular travel to meetings with donors, for events and to the employer's central office in Leicester for collaborative meetings and team activities. About The Employer Our client is a federated charity consisting of a central national office and over 170 geographically dispersed local organisations, all working together under the same identity. The organisation recognises that being a parent has never been easy. Every volunteer is trained to work alongside parents to overcome the challenges they are facing. The organisation works with parents to build on their strengths and give them the support that they tell them they need. They offer no judgement - just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. This peer-to-peer support is key to the difference the organisation makes and often their volunteers have lived experience of the challenges their families are facing themselves. About The Role This is an important moment for the charity and for the families they support. Parents of babies and young children are facing huge pressures, and strong, values-driven partnerships matter more than ever. They are looking for a senior leader who can help them meet this moment with confidence and ambition. As Assistant Director of Philanthropy & Strategic Partnerships, you will help shape the future of the employer's national work and support their federation of 170+ local organisation's working in communities across the UK. You will lead a talented team, build long-lasting relationships, and help make sure the organisation has the funding, partnerships, and influence it needs to give every child the best possible start in life. This role will suit someone who is motivated by purpose, who values people and relationships, and who is comfortable working across a large and varied network. They are looking for someone with a strong track record, someone who has already delivered high-value fundraising and partnerships at a senior level and is ready to take on a role with significant national influence. With responsibility for an annual income portfolio of circa £4 Million - with strong potential to grow this over the next 3-5 years to between £6Million-£8Million plus, you will work with a supportive Leadership Team and Board, who have already engaged external philanthropy expertise to develop a strategy and roadmap that you can build on. You'll need to be confident working with high-value supporters: able to build trust, communicate clearly, and nurture long-term relationships with people who want to invest in families and early years support. You'll bring the skills and confidence to grow a portfolio that is already strong and take it further, along with the ability to work well with others in a fast-moving environment. You will be joining a warm, collaborative organisation that believes in the power of community, the strength of families, and the importance of early help. If you feel excited by the chance to make a national difference, to build partnerships based on trust and shared purpose, and to help shape the next chapter of the charity's impact, they would be delighted to hear from you. The people at the organisation are its most important resource. The employer has been accredited with Investors in People since March 2005, which recognises the commitment they give to developing their staff. Benefits of working for the employer Flexible working Family friendly policy PayCare health cash plan Enhanced employer contribution pension Learning and development DAS Employee Assistance If it sounds like your type of challenge, the employer would be delighted to hear from you.

About The Employer Our client is a federated charity consisting of a central national office and over 170 geographically dispersed local organisations, all working together under the same identity. The organisation recognises that being a parent has never been easy. Every volunteer is trained to work alongside parents to overcome the challenges they are facing. The organisation works with parents to build on their strengths and give them the support that they tell them they need. They offer no judgement - just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. This peer-to-peer support is key to the difference the organisation makes and often their volunteers have lived experience of the challenges their families are facing themselves. About The Role This is an important moment for the charity and for the families they support. Parents of babies and young children are facing huge pressures, and strong, values-driven partnerships matter more than ever. They are looking for a senior leader who can help them meet this moment with confidence and ambition.

With responsibility for an annual income portfolio of circa £4 Million - with strong potential to grow this over the next 3-5 years to between £6Million-£8Million plus, you will work with a supportive Leadership Team and Board, who have already engaged external philanthropy expertise to develop a strategy and roadmap that you can build on. You'll need to be confident working with high-value supporters: able to build trust, communicate clearly, and nurture long-term relationships with people who want to invest in families and early years support. You'll bring the skills and confidence to grow a portfolio that is already strong and take it further, along with the ability to work well with others in a fast-moving environment. You will be joining a warm, collaborative organisation that believes in the power of community, the strength of families, and the importance of early help. If you feel excited by the chance to make a national difference, to build partnerships based on trust and shared purpose, and to help shape the next chapter of the charity's impact, they would be delighted to hear from you.
