Job description

We are delighted to partner with When You Wish Upon A Star, a charity that grants the wishes of children living with a life-threatening illness. Now celebrating their 35th year they are embarking on strategic change and opportunity, and now seek a Head of Income Generation.

From memorable visits to Lapland, Disneyland or even Abba Voyage, the charity is inspired by the children they support, and are more ambitious than ever to grow, reach more children across the UK, and continue delivering life-changing moments that truly matter.

In this newly created role, the Head of Income Generation will be responsible for delivering significant and sustainable income growth across key fundraising streams: Corporate Partnerships, Community & Events, Trusts & Grants, Legacies, and Lottery & Individual Giving.

This is a pivotal role within the Senior Leadership Team and the successful candidate will:

• Have proven success in a senior fundraising role, ideally across multiple income streams.
• Demonstrable success in developing and delivering fundraising strategies that have achieved growth, with a hands-on approach to business development and building long term partnerships.
• Be an inspiring leader, capable of developing a high-performing fundraising team.
• Exceptional relationship management and communication skills.
• Have the ability to set and monitor annual income targets, KPIs, and budgets, ensuring accountability and strong financial oversight.

You will support the CEO and contribute significantly to the growth of the charity, embedding a values-led, supporter-centric approach within the team and across the charity. An understanding of children’s charity sector, and or health related causes, would be advantageous but is not essential.

Your application should include your CV and supporting statement.

We welcome and encourage expressions of interest from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or other category protected by law.

Location: Nottingham, hybrid (3 days office)

Closing date for applications: Wednesday 30th July 2025

However, applications are being reviewed and actioned on a rolling basis. Please apply without delay to avoid disappointment.
