Help ensure no family faces a child's short life alone:

At Tŷ Hafan, we believe that when a child's life will be short, no family should have to live it alone.

Every day, families across Wales rely on the care, compassion and support we provide. The generosity of our supporters makes that possible. As we look to the future, we're seeking an exceptional fundraising leader to help us build meaningful relationships with partners, philanthropists and funders that will enable even more children and families to receive the support they need.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and strategic fundraiser to join our Income Generation leadership team as Head of Partnerships & Philanthropy.

Salary £49,217-£53,148 (depending on experience). Hybrid working - minimum 2 days onsite in Sully.

About the role:

This is a role for someone who thrives on building meaningful relationships, spotting opportunities and turning vision into sustainable income growth.

  • You'll lead and inspire our Corporate Fundraising, Grants & Trusts and Major Giving teams, developing and delivering ambitious strategies that maximise long-term income and contribution.
  • Working closely with colleagues across the charity, you'll help secure the funding needed to support vital services today while building strong foundations for the future.

From securing transformational corporate partnerships and major gifts to developing compelling cases for support and strengthening relationships with trusts and foundations, you'll play a key role in helping Tŷ Hafan achieve its strategic ambitions.

As a member of our leadership team, you'll also help shape the wider direction of the charity, championing innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement while inspiring colleagues through visible and authentic leadership.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
