Brainwave Offer A Fantastic Opportunity To Make A Difference!

Monday 16th March, 2026

Brainwave is a long-established national charity with over 40 years of experience supporting children with disabilities and additional needs to reach their full potential. From our National Therapy Assessment Centre in Bridgwater, we work closely with families across the UK to deliver tailored therapy programmes that make a meaningful and lasting difference to children’s lives.

We are now seeking an experienced and motivated Fundraising Manager – South West to help grow sustainable income and strengthen our regional partnerships at an exciting stage in Brainwave’s development.

This is a key role within the organisation, responsible for developing and delivering a strategic regional fundraising programme centred on Somerset and the wider South West. Working closely with the Chief Executive Officer and leading our Community Fundraising Lead, the postholder will drive income growth through corporate partnerships, major donors, business development, legacy giving and third-party fundraising activity.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a relationship-focused fundraiser to play a pivotal role in shaping Brainwave’s regional fundraising approach, building meaningful partnerships and helping ensure more children and families can access the life-changing support we provide.
