Prospect Research and Communications Manager

Relationship Fundraising Team

The Relationship Fundraising team is a dynamic, ambitious and high-performing group dedicated to developing and nurturing Barnardo's most significant relationships with philanthropists, corporate partners and charitable trusts.

This is an exciting time to join the team as we continue to grow and evolve. New team members will have the opportunity to help shape our future direction and play a key role in achieving our vision of transforming childhoods and changing lives.

As an experienced and personable professional, you will lead and deliver a programme of prospect research activities, identifying potential supporters capable of making five, six and seven-figure gifts. Your work will enable our high-value fundraising teams to maximise voluntary income and support for Barnardo's.

You will be responsible for developing and maintaining a strong pipeline of prospects, helping to identify and prioritise the most promising fundraising opportunities. Through robust research and analysis, you will ensure that fundraising efforts are focused on opportunities with the greatest potential impact.

In addition, you will support the development and delivery of the Relationship Fundraising team's communications programme. This will include producing high-quality reports, briefings and presentations for senior leaders and Trustees, ensuring stakeholders receive accurate, relevant and timely information to support decision-making.

At Barnardo's, we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where people from all backgrounds, cultures and experiences feel welcome and valued. We believe in providing equal opportunities for all and recognise the importance of supporting a healthy work-life balance. As a result, we are open to considering flexible working arrangements wherever possible.
