About us 

SurvivorsUK exists for men and non-binary people who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual assault or rape. 

We support – by providing services such as a helpline, counselling, ISVA and groupwork. 

We challenge – by raising public awareness of the issue, and dispelling myths 

We build – by creating and facilitating networks for better access to help 

We provide emotional support, information and signposting to survivors and anyone worried about someone they know, through a national counselling and webchat service (open until 8pm most evenings). Last year, 2,600 people contacted us via our webchat services and social media. 

In London, we are the only organisation providing specialist services for men and boys, including individual counselling and therapeutic group work. Across London, we provide the capital’s only Independent Sexual Advisor (ISVA) Service that helps men and boys through the criminal justice system. 

Purpose of Role 

SurvivorsUK is looking for a new Head of Fundraising to join our Management team at an exciting juncture in our growth. You will develop our income generation strategy and use your experience in fundraising to help deliver the next stage of our development.

You will lead on identifying new fundraising and grant opportunities, and writing timely funding applications. You will foster productive relationships with donors, trusts and companies, and work with the Digital Communications Manager to optimise donor communication and overall experience with us.

You will be expected to keep abreast of digital fundraising trends and use data analytics to drive fundraising strategies. You will plan and execute fundraising events, include participation in challenge events and provide support to individual event fundraisers.

Ideally you will have proven experience in a senior fundraising role, with a strong background in digital fundraising strategies and campaigns. It is also important that you are able to empathise with people who have experienced sexual violence, and in interest in issues relating to our clients.
