Description

The Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland is the most successful of 47 community foundations in the UK and the largest outside North America. For over thirty years, we’ve matched generous people with causes on their doorstop and, as a result, distributed over £150 million in funding for local organisations.

We have a bold strategy to grow giving and enable more and better philanthropy to support our region’s local charities and community organisations and five years ago, we created the post of Chief Philanthropy Officer to drive the continued growth of more and better philanthropy for our area. As we look ahead to a post-pandemic world, we know our work is needed more than ever. Brilliant local charities and community organisations will face what’s ahead with our backing and that of our generous donors.

With the post-holder now moving on to become a CEO themselves, we are looking for an exceptional person who can inspire people and show them how rewarding giving is and the difference they can make. As one of two deputies to the CEO, we need a strategic relationship developer and manager, with a proven track record in leading teams and projects. You will be a credible and authentic leader, with outstanding communication skills, able to inspire and engage donors, ensuring an excellent donor experience and high levels of satisfaction – all bolstering our role and reputation in the field.

You don’t need to have worked for a charitable trust or foundation previously, we welcome a wide variety of applicants from all sectors who can demonstrate an understanding our context and share our passion. However, you will have a high-level understanding of private philanthropy and giving, and an awareness of the key socio-economic issues relevant to the Foundation and the role of the voluntary sector. You will possess high levels of integrity, excellent professional judgement and a strong commitment to, and ability to lead on, the values of the Foundation.

The Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland aims to be an equal opportunity employer; the organisation recognises and respects the value and diversity of all.
