About the charity/role
Refuge is committed to a world where domestic violence and violence against women and girls is not tolerated, and where women and children can live in safety. They aim to empower women and children to rebuild their lives, free from violence and fear, placing their work under three key pillars: protection, prevention and provision.
In late 2018, Refuge appointed a new Director of Fundraising to rebuild and transform their fundraising team. In a short time, they've grown from four permanent employees to a team of 16, rebuilt around transparency, cohesion, ambition and teamwork.
At the same time, they've developed their systems, products and process, helping them to achieve their income target of £3.1m (19/20), with them ahead of schedule to hit their targeted £4.3m in 20/21. They are soon to launch a new fundraising strategy, where they'll double their income again in the next three years.
Refuge need to replace a key member of the team who has helped to set a clear and successful direction of travel. With developed proposals and a strong prospect pipeline, the Head of Major Giving will continue this work, leading a new Major Donor Manager, a re-positioned trust team (of two) and a Prospect Researcher.
They will manage a diverse and high-value portfolio (c.£600k), while leading the external donor engagement for a charity with significant ambition, focus and resources as they enter their 50th year.
