Head Of Fundraising & Communications

We are looking for an ambitious individual to join our team and play a key role in taking Scleroderma & Raynaud’s UK to the next stage in its journey of transformation and growth. Critical to our success will be our goal to significantly increase our income over the next five years.

SRUK is the only charity in the UK dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by Scleroderma and Raynaud’s. We exist to improve awareness and understanding of these conditions, to support those affected, and ultimately to find a cure.

This is an exciting time to join the organisation as we scale up to deliver on our ambition to significantly increase the level of investment in research and services, so that people affected by Scleroderma or Raynaud’s have access to the best treatment, information and support.

Working with the Chief Executive, the Head of Fundraising & Communications will:

• Lead on SRUK’s income generation, managing all fundraising, marketing and communications activities.
• Increase the organisation’s engagement with current and potential supporters, ensuring an integrated approach to their engagement and mobilisation.
• Drive forward a digital approach to engagement and development.

We are looking for someone with experience of working across a broad portfolio of income streams and a proven track record in generating income against targets. You will have exceptional interpersonal skills, and the ability to influence a wide range of stakeholders.  Working collaboratively and being a team player are essential skills. The successful candidate will understand the balance of being hands-on in order to get things done and working strategically so that SRUK meets its long-term objectives.

We are looking for individuals with a desire to create positive change and to make a real difference to the lives of people with Raynaud’s and Scleroderma.
