Head of Fundraising and Communications

Added 27th January 2025

Are you ready to be part of something truly exciting and play a key role in shaping the future of young people across North East Lincolnshire? This is an excellent opportunity to join Horizon’s team as Head of Fundraising and Communications.

About the role

As Head of Fundraising and Communications you’ll play a vital senior leadership role, working with the Chief Executive, Board of Trustees, and Executive Team to deliver £1.4m of income and establish a strong financial foundation for the new Youth Zone.

You’ll develop and drive the income strategy, lead a high-performing Fundraising and Communications team, and personally manage relationships with key major donors, including local individuals and businesses supporting the Founder Patron campaign and fundraising strategy. Founder Patrons pledge a minimum of 4 years financial support, through this they ensure that Horizon is in a strong financial position transforming the lives of thousands of young people across the borough.

This is a unique opportunity to combine strategic vision with hands-on fundraising expertise in a role that’s as inspiring as it is impactful.

Key functions of the role in the first year will be:

  1. The stewardship and renewal of existing Founder Patrons who have made major gifts during the construction phase of the building.
  2. The creation of a fundraising and communications strategy to diversify income beyond the Founder Patron programme, including the launch of a grants and trusts programme, and mid value major & corporate giving programme.
  3. Recruitment and embedding of the new fundraising & communications team.

If you are ambitious to succeed, have experience in relationship-led fundraising (philanthropy or corporate giving) and are a great communicator then this role is the perfect platform to make a real-life difference to the young people of North East Lincolnshire!
