With a bold and ambitious vision to be leaders of the Green Care future, Camphill Village Trust provides a life of opportunity for adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health problems in inclusive campus environments where individuals of varying needs and abilities can live independently while receiving the support necessary to live, learn, and thrive. Rooted in our care (social) farming legacy, we empower people through farming, organic horticulture, and enterprise centred on nature and traditional skills—an approach that sets us apart and ultimately provides a holistic approach to modern social care, helping people live independent, fulfilling lives.

If you want to tell authentic stories, maximise impact, and make a true and meaningful difference, read on.

The Individual Giving Manager plays a pivotal role in transforming the lives of the people we support by developing and delivering an exceptional Individual Giving programme alongside our Fundraising Director. Currently generating around 35% of our annual fundraised income, this programme is a critical engine powering our mission to unlock the connection between people and the planet for adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health problems.

This is not just a management role; it’s an opportunity to lead with purpose and drive real change. As part of a small but ambitious team, you will have the chance to think strategically while acting operationally, blending big-picture vision with hands-on programme delivery. You’ll be at the helm of our Individual Giving strategy, inspiring and guiding the team to exceed expectations and grow our impact.

With a deeply loyal but ageing supporter base, the purpose of this role is twofold: attracting new donors while nurturing long-term relationships to ensure sustainable growth. Your work will safeguard and expand vital income streams, enabling Camphill Village Trust to continue empowering the people we support to live with dignity, purpose, and independence. This is your chance to make a lasting difference, building connections that go beyond donations and driving forward a programme that provides a life of opportunity to the people we support.

What you’ll bring to the role:

1. Evidence of working at manager level to develop and implement successful fundraising strategies.
2. Proven track record in increasing income through donor acquisition and retention.
3. Evidence of achieving annual fundraising targets, maintaining an acceptable ROI, and managing budgets.
4. Experience of leading the creative development of Individual Giving propositions and developing fundraising products.
5. Evidence of working effectively with teams and building relationships internally and externally.
6. Building, developing, and managing partnerships with agencies and suppliers that deliver target results, value-for-money, compliance, and commitment to our values.
7. Good data analysis and insight skills.
8. Proficiency in using CRM databases for donor management and data segmentation.
9. A direct marketing background would also be beneficial.

Ideally, we are looking for someone to be based either within corridors of Midlands to London or Manchester to York. You will be a home worker with some travel to attend team meetings and visit our communities in Hertfordshire, Gloucestershire, Yorkshire, and Worcestershire.

The role is permanent, ideally working 30hrs per week which can be worked flexibly across 4 or 5 days within our operational hours.
