YMCA Milton Keynes is at an exciting point in its journey. We are a rapidly developing, values-driven youth charity, supporting young people to belong, contribute and thrive. To help us grow our impact and sustainability, we are looking for an ambitious and creative Head of Income Generation to accelerate our success.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
As Head of Income Generation, you will provide strategic leadership across a broad and exciting portfolio that includes:
* Commercial income, including HomeGround Café and our on-site meeting and conferencing facilities
* Grants and trusts fundraising, developing compelling, high-impact bids
* Corporate partnerships, from local businesses to strategic long-term relationships
* Community support and giving, inspiring people to get involved and give back
* A new alumni programme, engaging former residents, beneficiaries and supporters
You will manage and develop a small, motivated team, work closely with the CEO and Head of Communications & Marketing, and play a key role in shaping the organisation’s future direction.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
We’re looking for a senior fundraiser, income generator or sales lead who is:
* Ambitious and target-driven, with the ability to turn strategy into results
* Creative and entrepreneurial, excited to test new ideas and approaches
* Highly organised, with excellent prioritisation skills across multiple income streams
* A collaborative leader, who works brilliantly with colleagues and partners
* Values-led, ensuring everything we do reflects who we are as an organisation
You’ll understand how to communicate impact in a way that inspires support, while staying true to a trauma-informed, asset-based approach that puts dignity, strengths and potential first.
Above all, you’ll be motivated by the opportunity to put young people front and centre of income generation – amplifying their voices ethically and authentically, and helping supporters see the difference they can make.
