About YoungMinds:

YoungMinds is leading the movement to make sure every young person gets the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what. Hundreds of thousands of young people are struggling with their mental health, but too many are being told to wait, struggling to cope and hitting a crisis point before they get help. But things can get better. And we’re leading the movement for change.

We provide young people with the tools to look after their mental health. We empower adults to be the best support they can be to the young people in their lives. And we give young people the space and confidence to get their voices heard and change the world we live in.

Together, we can create a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health.

About the team:

The Public Fundraising team’s core purpose is to generate mainly unrestricted income primarily through marketing and engagement of mass supporters either directly or through our corporate partners. The team is responsible for developing and delivering our flagship Hello Yellow campaign which last year saw over 9000 schools, community groups and organisations take part in fundraising, generating vital funds and awareness of our work.

The team will also work closely with our Partnerships team, to support corporate partners with products and initiatives that drive engagement and income from their customers and staff with a particular focus on our nationwide partnership with M&S. Alongside Hello Yellow, the team will manage a number of exciting campaigns and initiatives to drive income through challenge events and community giving initiatives.

The Public Fundraising Team along with the Philanthropy & Partnerships team, are part of the Income Generation directorate whose core objective is to generate a sustainable income pipeline to support the work of YoungMinds now and in the future.

Both teams report to the Director of Income Generation.

Purpose of the role:

As Senior Individual Giving & Campaigns Manager you will be responsible for leading your team to raise income generated through flagship mass market fundraising activity and individual giving activity.

This role is vital in implementing our vision to create a step change in YoungMinds’ fundraising. Engaging all supporters as part of YoungMinds’ movement, where effective fundraising builds relationships and becomes an essential part of achieving our charitable objectives, not just funding them.

Co-Director (Finance, Fundraising and People)

Bristol, UK

Permanent

Full-time

Job ID:

111916

Published date:

19-08-2026

Summary

Could you jointly lead an organisation with bold ambition to end homelessness in Bristol – and put inclusion at the heart of how you lead?

This is a rare opportunity to share leadership, accountability and impact for Caring in Bristol – an ambitious, independent charity working towards a simple but powerful vision: ‘No one is homeless in our city’.

We’re looking for a Co-Director to take the lead on Finance, Fundraising and People functions.

Location: Hybrid, Bristol (60% onsite, open to negotiation where adjustments may be required)
Salary: £54,550–£61,245 FTE, depending on experience
Contract: Permanent, 0.8–1.0 FTE (30 or 37.5 hours)
You’ll also receive 33 days’ annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata if part time), flexible working, an enhanced 5% pension contribution, an individual learning and development budget, clinical supervision and group reflective practice.

Caring in Bristol believes everyone should be treated with dignity, respect and fairness. We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation where people feel they belong and can thrive.

We’re looking for a Co-Director who will champion equality, diversity and inclusion through organisational culture and practice – someone who values lived experience, listens to different perspectives and creates a safe, supportive environment where people can do their best work.

You’ll join at an exciting point in Caring in Bristol’s development, sharing leadership of an organisation that believes homelessness is not inevitable and is working across the city to prevent it, respond to housing emergencies and create lasting change.

About the role

This definitely isn’t your everyday, run-of-the-mill Director or CEO role. You’ll have a unique opportunity to co-create and collaborate on your own leadership model, alongside the existing Co-Director, with joint responsibility for strategy, performance and culture.

Taking a lead on finance, fundraising, people and HR, internal operations and governance, you’ll make sure people, systems and resources are working effectively to deliver on mission and maximise impact.

Together, you’ll make co-leadership work by building trust, challenging each other constructively, bringing complementary strengths and sharing accountability. Alongside the Board, team and people with lived experience, you’ll build the confidence, capacity and resources Caring in Bristol needs to deliver its ambition and create lasting change.

We’re looking for a different kind of leader

You might be an experienced charity leader, or have come up through finance, operations, organisational development, HR or income generation. You may have taken a less conventional route into leadership. We really don’t expect you to tick every box.

We’re looking for senior leadership experience, the ability to build a sustainable organisation with strong income and people foundations – plus a genuine passion for developing inclusive, high-performing teams. But just as importantly, we want to understand how you lead.

You’ll be someone who:

champions equality, diversity and inclusion and values lived experience
embodies curiosity, collaboration, creativity and tenacity
listens, communicates openly and brings people with them
balances collaboration with clear, accountable decision-making
builds trust and is committed to learning and continuous improvement

Knowledge of homelessness, housing or Bristol’s voluntary sector would be useful, but it isn’t essential. What matters most is your leadership style, values and desire to end homelessness.

Inclusion really matters

We know some groups are under-represented in our workforce, and we’re committed to changing that. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness and those from backgrounds under-represented in the charity sector.

We’re committed to making recruitment inclusive and accessible. We can offer flexible working and reasonable adjustments throughout the process, and if written applications don’t allow you to show your strengths, we’re happy to accept audio or video responses too.

Interested?

If you’re excited by the chance to help create a Bristol where no one is homeless, we’d love to hear from you. And if you’re thinking “I’m not sure I’m the typical candidate” – please don’t let that stop you getting in touch.

To register your interest, a CV or draft profile is a great first step. You can send this to Amelia Lee at Charity People directly through the application channel on this website, or just get in touch to request the full job pack.

Closing date: 9am on Monday 14^th September

Interview dates are currently being agreed, likely to happen early-mid October.

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

Your portfolio will span exclusive owned fundraising events such as Mikey’s Mountain Miles, our skiing fundraiser with Mike Tindal MBE; The Clay Day, a premium sporting and hospitality experience with our Formula 1 partners; and two established golf events, including an owned event, Gourmet Golf, and a supporter-led initiative. You will also play a central role in maximising opportunities through major third-party events and partnerships, including the Wings for Life World Run, the London Marathon 2027, and high-profile Red Bull events.

This is more than event management. It is an opportunity to identify new opportunities, develop innovative event concepts and create unforgettable supporter experiences that stand out in a crowded fundraising landscape. Working closely with senior leadership, ambassadors, partners and supporters, you will combine creativity, commercial acumen and flawless execution to grow income, build awareness and strengthen Wings for Life’s position as a leading charity brand. Whether enhancing existing events or creating entirely new experiences within and beyond the Red Bull universe, you will play a pivotal role in delivering ambitious growth and lasting impact.

What We're Looking For

We’re seeking an ambitious, creative and highly organised event leader who thrives on turning great ideas into exceptional experiences. You will have a proven track record of delivering high-quality events, achieving ambitious commercial and fundraising targets, and building strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. Equally comfortable developing strategy and rolling up your sleeves to deliver flawless event execution, you will bring the energy, entrepreneurial mindset and attention to detail needed to drive growth across our events portfolio.

As a manager, you will lead and develop our Event & Fundraising Specialist, providing coaching, support and professional development while fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture. You will also play an active role in supporting our individual fundraising programme and championing a ‘one team’ approach across the organisation.

Success in this role will require strong commercial awareness, budget management expertise and the confidence to negotiate, influence and present to senior stakeholders, partners and Board members. You will be adept at managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, while maintaining a relentless focus on delivering outstanding supporter experiences and maximising return on investment.

Experience working with premium brands, VIP audiences, luxury hospitality or high-end events would be advantageous, as would a passion for identifying new opportunities, creating innovative event concepts and challenging conventional thinking. Above all, you will be a solutions-focused self-starter with exceptional relationship-building skills, a genuine passion for our mission and the drive to help Wings for Life achieve extraordinary impact.

We value experience, talent and results over formal qualifications. If you have the vision, energy and expertise to grow one of the most exciting event portfolios in the charity sector, we'd love to hear from you.

Wings for Life have one sole mission: to find a cure for spinal cord injury. As the charity partner of Red Bull, 100% of our fundraising goes directly to scientific research as they cover all our costs.
