The Grants, Trusts & Foundations Manager will work closely with and report to the Head of Philanthropy to develop the Trust pipeline, along with instrumental cross-team work on applications and reporting processes for other income streams.

You will also support other team members with their applications, as well as acting as a key liaison with our Care team to obtain latest information about service delivery. If you have ample experience of fundraising from Trusts, have achieved outstanding success in a short period of time or have held a key position within a Trust programme, including securing numerous significant ideally six-figure grants, we would love you to apply.
