Job Details

Their model has been successfully funded so far through a unique collective impact funding model across local and central government, schools and philanthropy, and they aim for a broader mix of funders who are committed to transforming their communities.  As AllChild embarks on their second decade, they are ready for this next chapter: scaling their place-based model nationally and doubling their annual income from £8m to £16m+.

To achieve this, AllChild is now seeking an exceptional Director of Fundraising, who will help to design and drive a roadmap for a significant increase in philanthropy alongside the public sector engagement team.

This is more than a fundraising role or a seat at the Executive Team table.  It’s a chance to shape strategy, influence systems, and unlock the investment needed to transform outcomes for thousands more children and young people.  It will therefore take an exceptional individual to lead and deliver their income strategy across all non-government funding streams — building powerful partnerships with major donors, Trusts & Foundations and corporations.  You’ll define and articulate compelling cases for support, build and steward significant donor relationships, and grow a high-performing team who are ready to match this next level of ambition.  If you’ve personally secured transformational gifts, built teams that thrive, and know how to turn vision into strong philanthropic propositions, this is your chance and platform to enact real and lasting change.

Underpinning your success in this role will be your broad and robust track record of developing attractive philanthropic opportunities, and engaging high-value donors and securing gifts at the 6-figure level or more.  Your natural flair for story-telling and influencing, and approachable and collegial personal style, swiftly engenders trust from those around you.  Your entrepreneurial and enterprising mindset, and highly developed interpersonal skills, will inspire confidence and motivate others to drive change.  This is a very hands-on role so experience in high-growth charities will be highly desirable, and you will need to be able to navigate some ambiguity and “the new” as they grow.  Whether you are securing the gift or supporting others in the success of this, most importantly, you are motivated by achieving transformative outcomes that matter.

If you’re driven by purpose, inspired by growth and ready to unlock transformational funding for children across the UK, we’d love to hear from you.

Closing date for applications is 9AM GMT on Wednesday, 8 April 2026

Interviews with AllChild will start from late April 2026
