The Pepper Foundation is a local charity funding children’s hospice at home, play and family days for children living with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions in Herts & Bucks.
We are seeking an ambitious, driven and visionary Head of Fundraising to lead our expanding team at a pivotal moment in our journey. As we launch our new three-year fundraising strategy, this is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a growing charity and play a leading role in delivering sustainable income that directly supports local children and families.
With the backing of an engaged Board of Trustees and a passionate, committed team, you will provide strategic leadership across all income streams. You will guide and inspire our small but high-performing fundraising team to grow and diversify income — strengthening individual giving through innovative donor acquisition and impactful campaigns, while also supporting the development of our corporate partnerships, community fundraising and events programmes.
This is more than a management role. It is an opportunity to build, innovate and leave a lasting legacy. You will have the autonomy to test new ideas, drive performance and embed a culture of ambition and collaboration, ensuring fundraising excellence across the organisation.
Every day in this role brings variety, challenge and purpose. Most importantly, your leadership will directly enable hospice-at-home care, specialist play services and life-enhancing family days for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. Your work will make a tangible difference to families facing the most difficult of times — helping ensure they receive the care, joy and support they deserve.
