About The Polar Academy

The Polar Academy is a life-changing charity that transforms the lives of young people through adventure. We identify “invisible” teenagers—those who struggle with confidence and self-belief—and take them on extraordinary polar expeditions that unlock their potential.

As we continue to grow and inspire more young people, we are looking for a passionate and driven Fundraising Manager to help secure vital funding and build strong, lasting relationships with supporters.

The Role

As our Fundraising Manager, you will lead and implement our fundraising strategy, securing income that supports our annual budget and long-term growth. You will work closely with key stakeholders, including Patrons, Charitable Trusts, and corporate partners, ensuring they feel engaged and valued in supporting The Polar Academy’s mission.

If you love building relationships, thinking creatively about fundraising, and making a real impact, we’d love to hear from you!

We are seeking a fundraiser to maximise success in the role with a competitive salary of up to £45,000 per annum (depending on experience). As the charity expands, there is potential for this role to evolve, offering the opportunity to shape how we fund our work long term and build a team that supports The Polar Academy’s continued success.
