Go Beyond has given over 21,000 vulnerable children a life-changing break. They need the person who will build the supporter relationships that make it possible for 21,000 more.
Go Beyond has been giving vulnerable children — young carers, children living in poverty, those who've been bereaved or bullied — residential breaks at centres in Cornwall and Derbyshire for over 32 years. These aren't day trips. They're week-long experiences that change how a child sees their own life.
The charity is entirely self-funded. £1.8 million a year, every penny raised through trusts and foundations, individual donors, challenge events, and campaigns. No government grants. Just people who believe these children deserve better.
The fundraising team is seven people strong and growing. A dedicated Trusts team of four has built income systematically over the past five years. Now the ambition is to double the number of children who receive breaks — which means doubling the fundraising income that makes them possible.
The supporter care and engagement function is the next chapter. The infrastructure exists. The data is there. The campaigns are taking shape. What's missing is the person who will take it all and make it fly.
The team is fully remote — with the option to work from a cottage at the Cornwall centre for a week at a time. The culture, by every account, is genuinely collaborative and supportive.
This is a management and strategy role, not an execution role. You will own the supporter communications function — building the plans, managing the team, project managing the campaigns, and making sure the data tells you what's working.
Go Beyond has a genuinely compelling campaign portfolio — and the ambition to grow every part of it.
Sara's exact words: "Think of this as your own company — you could make it something amazing." This isn't a "maintain what we have" hire. It's a "build what we know is possible" hire.
The role has a big umbrella and no one will tick every box. What matters is attitude, logical thinking, and the ability to say "I can't do that bit — but I can manage it."
Every campaign has a number attached. You must understand that and work backwards from it. If that question is the first thing you ask, this is probably the role for you.
You can write a plan and then make it happen. You have examples of campaigns you personally owned — with dates, outputs and results.
Comfortable in a CRM. Can pull a report, understand a segment, interrogate a mailing list. Curious enough about systems that you're never caught out.
Remote working means problems can go invisible. We need someone who raises their hand early and comes with solutions rather than surprises.
Go Beyond is open to candidates from direct marketing agency backgrounds, individual giving managers with marcomms experience, and those from commercial environments moving into the sector. What matters is whether fundraising is in the back of your mind when you design a campaign — whether you think in terms of income, not just engagement.
This is a retained executive search — we're approaching specific people, not waiting for applications. Every candidate has two conversations with Raise + Recruit before being presented to Go Beyond.
Final interviews: week commencing 29 June or 3 July 2026. All candidates will know where they stand throughout.
We're speaking with a small number of exceptional candidates. If this feels like it could be you — even if you're not actively looking — we'd love to have a conversation.
