Vacancies at Brainwave

Development Manager
35 hours per week, £30,000-£32,000
Predominately home based role with visits to the North West Centre in Birchwood, Warrington.

This is a key time to join a dynamic charity that has recently expanded its provision to helping many more families directly from a new therapy centre in Warrington, which was opened in November by Brainwave's President, The HRH Countess of Wessex.

You will be a well motivated, self starter who is looking for a varied home based role but with the benefits of being linked to a nearby office and want to work for a charity that is friendly, tangible and down to earth.

For 28 years, Brainwave has been supporting children with disabilities. Families are invited to one of the Centres or clinics, where each child is assessed and a Programme of exercises is designed by the therapy team, according to the child's individual needs. Parents and carers are shown how to carry out the Programme so that they can undertake them at home, providing a structured and stimulating framework within which their child may excel and reach their full potential.

Brainwave is a growing charity, which has had some major fundraising successes and is looking to use those funds to expand its charitable work. The Charity wishes to increase its revenue from large and small local supporters in North-West whilst raising our profile to become a recognisable provider in the region.

The job holder will have strong interpersonal skills and a successful track record in dealing in community, major donor and event fundraising. They will also have experience in corporate business development. Good communications skills, enthusiasm, team work and a sense of humour are essential. The post has one report (part time Community Manager) and will report into the Senior Development Manager.

The closing date is 21 July; initial interviews on the 27 July, 28 July and 10 August. 2nd interviews 19 or 25 August.

We would welcome your Application Letter and Application Form, addressed to or by post to Andrew Glass, Head of Finance & Administration, The Brainwave Centre, Huntworth Gate, Bridgwater, Somerset TA6 6LQ
