Aim

Anawim has grown, and now has an annual budget of circa £2million. The aim in appointing a Head of Business Development is to support and free up the CEO to focus on influencing strategic change and lead the growth and strategic development of Anawim. The Head of Business Development would be joining a strong project team comprising of a COO who oversees day to day delivery of new and existing services, a Data and Systems Manager, Data and Monitoring Assistant, HR Advisor & Centre Manager and HR & Centre Administrator.

The Finance and Fundraising team include the Fundraising & Communications Manager, Finance & Contracts Manager, Treasurer, Communications Officer, Finance Assistant & Community Fundraiser (part time). The Fundraising & Communications Manager concentrates her time on applications to charitable trusts and foundations alongside oversight and management of communications, community giving, individual, corporate & legacies.

This role is focused on growing income from statutory commissioning, contracts and grants, such as from NHS, Public Health, Ministry of Justice, Home Office, preparing bids and tenders.

Background to the post

To ensure that Anawim continues to grow in a sustainable way, we require the Head of Business Development to follow up leads, build relationships with commissioners and prepare applications and tenders. The CEO is engaging in increased amounts of policy and influencing work, therefore she requires support to complete these applications moving forward. We are being presented with opportunities such as key involvement in the new Problem-solving court for Birmingham, developing women’s centres within HMP Foston Hall & HMP Drake hall but currently the CEO & COO are lacking capacity to follow them up effectively.

Therefore, we are seeking an experienced and innovative person with a deep commitment to the importance of the role of women’s centres, who has initiative, common sense, a great personality and the ability to work collaboratively to develop new contracts, obtain full cost recovery on existing contracts and produce with the team, a sustainable fundraising strategy. The Head of Business Development will have a proven ability to engage with and influence a wide range of people at all levels from Anawim service users to commissioners and MPs.
