Prospectus is excited to be working exclusively with our client to help them recruit an interim Head of Fundraising to join their team. The organisation is a charity founded in 2018 by families bereaved by gambling-related suicide. They operate the UK's only specialist support service for people affected by gambling-related suicide. Their work prevents gambling-related harm for those who gamble and prevents those impacted by gambling-related suicide from suffering additional harm.

This role is offered on a flexible 6-month contract basis, paying a salary between £55,000 to £60,000 per annum pro rata, with remote working arrangements and occasional staff meetings.

The Head of Fundraising will be responsible for developing and delivering the fundraising strategy to support the charity’s work across its programme areas, including family support, research, and prevention. They will work closely with the Chief Operating Officer and colleagues to deliver a multi-income stream plan and develop relationships with funders to promote ongoing support. A key responsibility is developing fundraising propositions in response to the new statutory levy on gambling operators, ensuring the charity’s long-term funding sustainability.

The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience in a leadership fundraising role, delivering a transformational strategic plan, and a proven track record of raising funds from multiple income streams such as trusts, foundations, government, and public bodies. Experience in growing and developing an organisation’s fundraising capabilities is essential. The candidate should be persuasive, passionate about the charity’s aims, and committed to its mission, vision, and values.
