Head of Fundraising

Are you looking to make a big difference within a pride organisation? Are you looking to find meaningful ways to learn new skills?

At Bi Pride UK we have a number of roles where you can learn from a diverse range of people whose experiences and expertise make up a vibrant and thriving organisation. Bi Pride UK’s mission is to create spaces where people who experience attraction beyond gender can be freely visible and celebrate themselves and their identities.

We are looking for someone to join our fundraising department as Head of Fundraising. The role would be leading a team which we envision comprising volunteers managing grants fundraising, corporate fundraising and community fundraising. At present we don’t yet have any volunteers working specifically on fundraising, making this an exciting opportunity to take on a new challenge of building up a crucial team of fundraisers enabling us to deliver our charitable work.

The Head of Fundraising will be responsible for leading the direction of this team, thinking strategically about how to maximise income and recruiting and managing the volunteers who will lead on the different fundraising areas.
