Job Description

If unlocking transformational funding is your superpower, we ve got a mission worthy of your cape

You ll steward current funders with care, develop new long-term relationships, and create imaginative ways for grant-makers to invest in the charity s impactful work.


Salary on offer is up to £40,000 depending on the experience that you have in this area of fundraising.


You ll bring proven experience of securing income from trusts, foundations, and/or statutory funders, ideally within the charity sector, with a track record of meeting or exceeding ambitious targets.


Benefits include: Flexi working with core hours 9:30 4:30, 25 days annual leave (rising to 30), 6% matched pension, 4x salary death-in-service, cycle schemes, social committee events, and staff discounts.


If you have strong experience in trust and grant fundraising and you re ready to step into a role where your work truly moves the needle, don t delay apply today.
