About the Organisation

The charity was founded by Dr Shelley Gilbert MBE, and works to offer a way through the anxiety, fear and isolation so often caused by grief. Bereavement is devastating at any age, but for a child it is life changing.

An open-access charity, funded by the generosity of supporters, they are here to help ease the pain and confusion caused by the death of a parent or sibling. Services include one to one counselling, music therapy, grief relief kits and much more.

What matters?

The vision of a world where no child grieves alone. The mission? To give every child, young person and their families access to the best possible support following the death of someone close.

Leading with empathy and kindness, putting people first.

Responsibilities

This is a broad, outward facing role, combining leadership, oversight and hands on delivery. Alongside helping shape how the team operates, you will lead and grow major donor fundraising, building relationships with high value supporters, owning a portfolio, and playing a central role in securing significant gifts. You will provide day to day management support, help bring structure and consistency to ways of working, and play a key role in building a collaborative, supportive culture across the team.

Alongside management and strategy duties, you will lead on Major Donors fundraising, building strong and lasting relationships with major donors while confidently leading on stewardship. You'll help to secure sustainable income in a wholly donation funded model, while raising awareness of childhood bereavement.

Ultimately, you'll help create a more resilient, well structured fundraising function that can deliver consistent year on year growth.
