Head of Fundraising - Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom - HARP, Southend's Homeless Charity

Description

Job description

HARP is Southend-on-Sea's leading homelessness charity. On average we help around 1,000 local people every year to overcome or avoid homelessness.

In addition to providing essential short-term emergency shelter, food, clothing and washing facilities, we work to identify the root causes of homelessness, creating tailored support for each person's circumstances.

We achieve success by providing structure, purpose and training opportunities, and by providing longer-term supported housing, empowering people to take steps to leave homelessness behind and ultimately live independently in the community.

Are you an experienced fundraising manager with a track record of delivering successful fundraising strategies that achieve year-on-year growth? Are you looking for your next challenge where your fundraising achievements will directly impact on people experiencing homelessness? We are seeking a results focussed, passionate fundraiser with line management and leadership experience to help take our fundraising to the next level.

• Have experience of delivering six or seven figure income targets across a range of income streams, and implementing systems, policies and processes to drive success.
• Have experience of building a successful fundraising team, nurturing and developing staff to achieve their potential.
• Have excellent communication skills, with the confidence to operate at Senior Management level and influence senior internal and external stakeholders.
