Head of Fundraising

• Do you have experience securing great partnerships between Trusts, major donors and charities?
• Do you want to help child refugees access safe, legal routes to sanctuary? 
• Do you want to join a ground-breaking, determined and compassionate charity that is leading the fight for child refugees caught in limbo in Europe? 
• Do you want to feel confident and fulfilled?

Safe Passage is looking for a Head of Fundraising to lead our vibrant fundraising team (2.5 FTE). This role is exciting and varied. You’ll enjoy meeting new people, pitching and writing applications, and building mutually beneficial partnerships with Trusts, Foundations and Major Donors.Is this you? We hope so!

Safe Passage grew out of the urgent need for child refugees to access their legal right to reach a place of safety. From the initial aim of helping children in Calais to reach the UK at the height of the refugee crisis in 2015, Safe Passage now has teams in Greece, France and the UK working to open and strengthen safe and legal routes to protection for refugee children, then supporting their first steps to rebuilding their lives. Since we started work in 2015, we have directly helped 200 child refugees to safety and more than 1,800 children have travelled through safe and legal routes we have helped open. 

Safe Passage started life as a project of Citizens UK. In 2019 we formally de-merged to enable Safe Passage to expand its exciting cross-border legal work. This is a fantastic time for a dynamic Head of Fundraising to join our team!
