About us
Myeloma UK is the only organisation in the UK dealing exclusively with the incurable blood cancer myeloma and related conditions. We are committed to bringing together the best and brightest people to help us ensure that every patient has an empowered present and a hopeful future.
Our ultimate goal is to find a cure and make myeloma history. Until then, our mission is to help every patient live well with myeloma for as long as possible. We are committed to diagnosing myeloma earlier, discovering and sharing knowledge, transforming the patient experience and influencing positive change in care.
About the role
Myeloma UK is embarking on an ambitious five-year income generation strategy, which aims to increase income from £5m to £10m by 2028. This position will play a critical role, working alongside the Head of Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships to lead income generation from major trusts, foundations, and grant funders and secure 5-6 figure grants for a range of innovative and life changing programmes – including patient and family support, research and advocacy. This role is also responsible for managing the Trusts and Grants Officer, who delivers our small trusts and grants programme.
Our major trusts and grants programme is at an early stage of development and this role offers the opportunity to build the foundations and significantly grow this income stream. It will involve working across the charity to identify fundraising priorities and co-create projects and will involve all aspects of cultivation – from research to relationship building with key prospects, through to preparing compelling proposals.
This is an exciting time to join Myeloma UK, with a new organisational strategy, a new fundraising strategy, alongside investment in fundraising, creating the opportunity to significantly grow income. We are looking for someone who can build and shape the programme, as well as deliver an increase in income.
About you
We are looking for an ambitious trusts and grants fundraiser with experience of raising 5-6 figure gifts from a range of UK trusts, foundations and grant-making organisations. You will be a strategic thinker, who is ready to lead and implement our trusts and grants strategy alongside the Head of Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships.
Strong relationship management skills are a must, as this role involves working collaboratively with a range of colleagues to identify fundraising projects and develop project concepts and proposals. We have a committed Trustee board and there is an opportunity to work with them, and other senior volunteers and donors to leverage opportunities within their networks. We need someone who is comfortable working at this level with the ability to build long-term cultivation strategies.
You will also need exceptional writing skills, with the ability to understand complex scientific information and translate it to a range of audiences. We need someone who can communicate the significant impact of our work and inspire funders to work with us.
Are you interested in helping rural charities support their local communities?
Argyll and Bute is the second largest local authority in Scotland covering 9 per cent of its land mass but with 83,000 people spread out across this diverse area which includes 23 inhabited islands. Third Sector and Social Enterprise organisations play a huge role in the daily life of our communities whether it be in the form of food related charities, village halls, family support, environmental groups or befriending groups. The Argyll and Bute Third Sector Interface exists to support our community groups to thrive, develop and promote the wellbeing of our communities.
We are primarily a membership organisation supporting over 1,000 local groups and we do so by working in partnership with the local authority, the local NHS and a range of other local stakeholders.
The Board is seeking applications ideally from individuals with a connection to Argyll and Bute and we are looking to fill two positions. Applicants might already have skills in the third or social enterprise sectors perhaps with a specialism in Finance, Business Management, Equalities, Human Resources, Digital, preventative social care or Community Development. Ideally, we would like one Trustee to have had experience in overseeing budgets in excess of £1m and one Trustee to have experience in Social Enterprise. An accountancy qualification for one role would be ideal but is not essential.
We encourage applications from groups that are under-represented on charity boards and would welcome approaches from people who have lived experience of issues facing the clients of our member organisations. We particularly would like to hear from people experiencing or who have experienced social or economic disadvantage, people from Black, Asian, or other minority ethnic communities, as well as young and disabled people. You do not need to have board experience to apply as we will support you with a tailored training programme depending on your level of experience.
The Board currently meets five times a year (including an AGM) which are all hybrid meetings with an expectation of in-person attendance at one annual development day.
The Board of Directors (Trustees) duties include the following:
- Support and advise on Argyll and Bute TSI’s purpose, vision, goals and activities as well as keep abreast of changes in our operating environment.
- Approve operational strategies and policies and monitor their impact.
- Oversee, review and approve Argyll and Bute TSI’s financial statements, plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate progress.
- Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.
- Ensure that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
- Provide support and challenge to Argyll and Bute TSI’s CEO in the exercise of their delegated authority.
- Contribute to regular reviews of Argyll and Bute TSI’s own governance. Attend Board meetings, adequately prepared to contribute to discussions.
- Use independent judgment, acting legally and in good faith to promote and protect Argyll and Bute TSI’s interests, to the exclusion of their own personal and/or any third-party interests.
- Contribute to the broader promotion of Argyll and Bute TSI’s objects, aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts.
What are the benefits to you?
- The role is unpaid, however incurred expenses are reimbursed (e.g. travel, childcare)
- Induction and training tailored to you needs
- Opportunities to make strategic decisions and develop new skills
- Opportunities to network with senior professionals
- Influence in shaping innovative projects and highlight local third sector campaign priorities.
