Senior Fundraising Manager

Apply ASAP – we’re interviewing on a rolling basis until 31st August 2025!

This is a brilliant opportunity to lead and grow our fundraising efforts and fuel our mission to support young refugees and people seeking asylum into meaningful work and brighter futures. If you’re a strategic thinker with a proven track record in fundraising and a passion for social impact – we’d love to hear from you!

Breadwinners is a multi award-winning social enterprise and charity that supports young people seeking asylum and refugees to have their first work experience in the UK selling organic baked goods. Since 2016, we have steadily grown and we are looking for our first Senior Fundraising Manager to help us take the next step in our growth journey. Breadwinner’s unique model provides work, training and personal mentors, so that young refugees can start and progress in their careers, using our platform as a step in stone. We achieve this goal through three consecutive programmes, using our award-winning bread stalls in markets across London and Brighton and wholesale for socially-minded cafes and restaurants.

Over the last 7 years we have made significant impact in supporting over 744+ programme participants, with an impressive 93% reporting notable improvements in their overall well-being, 76% of our Breadwinners programme progress into work, further education or volunteering, and all this while minimising our Carbon Footprint by 20.5% through the sale of organic goods. This year, we are planning to double our impact with young refugees, with recently secured funding, new markets, and focusing on our wholesale model.

1. Risers programme: A two-month early intervention programme designed to provide structured work experience, training, and mentorship to newly arrived young people seeking asylum through our 18 stalls.
2. Breadwinners programme: The follow-up programme for refugees with the right to work, which involves working as a market stall manager for six months and earning the UK living wage.
3. Proofers programme: A progression programme that entails working remotely as part-time online sales representatives for six months, managing our wholesale delivery model.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about making a real difference in the lives of young refugees and people seeking asylum. The ideal candidate will bring a mix of strategic thinking, hands-on fundraising experience, excellent communication skills and a strong sense of purpose. You will be working directly with the Managing Director, forming a team with a part-time Fundraising Manager, in direct contact with our passionate Core team, Board of Trustees and volunteers to secure grant funding, and develop our corporate and major donors streams. You will help to drive the growth of Breadwinners and enable the team to deliver a bigger positive impact for young refugees new to the UK.
