Philanthropy Executive

An exciting opportunity has been created at Unitas Youth Zone for an ambitious fundraiser eager to share our story and secure funds from individual and corporate donors. Working alongside our experienced Director of Fundraising, and as part of a small, supportive team, you will significantly contribute to securing a legacy for thousands of local young people through the generation of new income.

Experience is great, but what we really want is someone with strong integrity, a passion for serving young people, and an entrepreneurial spirit who will fearlessly engage the Unitas community to generate more funding for our critical mission.

If you are that type of person, we want to hear from you!

You will be responsible for creating and executing strategies to develop significant mid-level and major donor income (£1k £25k), primarily by leveraging our existing strong networks. At the same time, you will support the Director of Fundraising and CEO by effectively stewarding existing major donors, ensuring that we continue growing strong relationships and sustained revenue.

We are looking for candidates who want to join a brilliant organisation and work with an inspirational Director of Fundraising who will support and guide them in enhancing their careers.

We are searching for confident and passionate individuals who love meeting people and building relationships and can articulate an impactful cause.

Candidates who have a major donor or philanthropy experience will be looked upon favourably; however, we will consider candidates who have other fundraising experience. We also strongly encourage candidates with limited experience to apply given the commitment to training and development at the organisation.

Barnet s Youth Zone, named Unitas by local young people, opened in summer 2019 as the second OnSide Youth Zone in London.

At Unitas, we believe that all young people in Barnet should have the opportunity to discover their passion and their purpose, to find out what they ve got and where it could take them. Our Youth Zone is a purpose-built space fizzing with energy and crammed with incredible facilities. It is staffed by skilled and dedicated youth workers who truly believe in young people helping them see what they could achieve and giving them the skills, confidence and ambition to achieve their potential.

Since opening, we ve delivered life-changing support to help over 12,000 young people aged 8-19 (and up to 25 for young people with additional needs) from a diverse range of backgrounds to thrive.
