Head of Fundraising - Coventry

Are you a fundraising leader looking for a role where your work truly changes the lives of babies and children with life limiting and life threatening conditions and their families?

Charity People are delighted to be partnering with Zoe's Place to find their next Head of Fundraising. This is a pivotal moment in their growth, and they are looking for someone experienced and inspiring to lead their Coventry team with confidence, compassion and creativity.

Salary: £44,000-£49,000 per annum depending on experience.

Contract: Permanent, 35 hours per week.

Location: Zoe's Place Baby Hospice, Coventry with flexibility to work from home.

Benefits: 5% employer pension contribution, 27 days of annual leave plus bank holidays and closure between Christmas and New Year, free parking onsite, and professional L&D opportunities.

Zoe's Place is the only baby specific hospice charity in the UK, providing specialist palliative, respite and end of life care for children aged 0 to 5 with life limiting and life threatening conditions. They offer a safe, nurturing and joyful environment where families can feel completely supported. With their dedicated nurses delivering 24 hour care, they work together to make every moment of childhood count.

As Head of Fundraising, you'll lead a dedicated team and take ownership of income generation across the Coventry hospice. You'll shape and deliver fundraising strategy, develop sustainable income streams, build meaningful partnerships and ensure the organisation continues to thrive for the families who rely on its services. This role offers a fantastic balance of strategic leadership and hands on fundraising: one day you might be developing ambitious plans for future growth, the next meeting supporters, attending events, nurturing corporate partnerships or helping your team unlock new fundraising opportunities.

We're looking for an experienced fundraising leader with a track record of delivering income growth and developing successful fundraising strategies. You'll bring:

• Significant fundraising leadership experience across multiple income streams
• Experience leading, motivating and developing high performing teams and volunteers
• Strong commercial and financial acumen, including budgeting, forecasting and income planning
• Experience developing partnerships and engaging a wide range of supporters and stakeholders
• A practical, hands on approach with the confidence to represent the charity externally
• Experience delivering fundraising campaigns, events or community fundraising initiatives
• A passion for making a meaningful difference through your work

Most importantly, you'll be someone who combines ambition with compassion, and who is excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of an organisation that means so much to the families it supports.

We'd love to hear from you if you're motivated by the idea of shaping a team, driving ambitious income growth and making a real difference to children and families every single day.
