Head of Fundraising & Finance at Stay Up Late

Stay Up Late is a charity fighting for the right of people with learning disabilities and autistic people to live full social lives — to go out, stay up late, and have fun. We’re best known for Gig Buddies, our flagship project built around music, nightlife, and friendship. We’re looking for a Head of Fundraising & Finance to join our small, collaborative team of six.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role, providing strategic and practical leadership across income generation and financial management. Fundraising and sustainability are shared responsibilities at Stay Up Late — this role leads and coordinates that work, helping us focus on what will have the greatest impact while ensuring strong, proportionate financial oversight.

You’ll bring senior charity finance experience, a good understanding of income generation, and a collaborative, values-led approach. You’ll be comfortable working closely with the Director, trustees, staff, and freelancers in a small organisation where trust and teamwork matter.

Closing date: 9am, Monday 23 February
Interviews: after 5 March
Start date: flexible
