About us

Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.

There’s never been a better time to join Christian Aid’s Fundraising & Supporter Engagement Department. We would say that, wouldn’t we? But we mean it. Thanks to excellent support from the trustees and CEO down and to our amazing supporters, we have returned unrestricted income to growth so are making a transformational impact for people in poverty, reaching  more than 3 million people in humanitarian crisis and 18 million others. Your next career step could see you lead our passionate and energetic team of poverty-fighters. We inspire more than 250,000 supporters and thousands of supporting churches to raise £50 million annually to tackle extreme poverty. 

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don’t have to be Christian to work here – we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we’re open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues and the option of being a homeworker for some of our roles too.

About the role

A fantastic opportunity to lead Christian Aid’s two biggest income streams:  legacies and individual giving.  Also responsible for insight and innovation, the role will build on solid foundations as well as launching new ideas to inspire more people to join our movement to eradicate extreme poverty.  Responsible for very significant budgets and with strong support from Christian Aid’s leadership, this role has the potential to drive step-change growth.

About you

You’ll be an inspirational charity fundraising leader with strong experience in legacies, individual giving or, ideally, both.  With a positive and ambitious approach and a passion for leading and developing teams, you’ll work in partnership with people from across Christian Aid and beyond to grow our income.   You will be a critical part of the Christian Aid leadership team and will be very results-focused, while keen to ensure that teams can thrive and bring their best selves to work.
