Bristol, United Kingdom Young Lives vs Cancer Full time

Senior Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser

Location: Hybrid working between home and our London or Bristol offices

Contract Type: Permanent

Hours: 35 hours per week (flexible working can be discussed) 

Salary: £35,882 (Outside of London); £37,778 (London)

Closing Date: 30th October 2024

Interview dates start from: 4th November 2024

Today, 12 children and young people will be diagnosed with cancer. We’ll stop at nothing to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.  When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.

The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer. We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. 

We challenge the systems and policies that surround children and young people, we highlight gaps and campaign for change. Because we know what a better future could look like. And we know what we need to do to make that future a reality. We need to push harder, reach further and work smarter. And we need the right people on our team to help us get there. People like you.

About the role

We’re looking for a creative Senior Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser, who wants to grow their existing experience of working with five and six figure asks to grow their skills by supporting the senior team with preparing compelling proposals to secure funding of 6 and 7 figure bids. This is an exceptional opportunity for a fundraiser with great communication skills, project leadership and experience of building and writing compelling core asks/supporting bid writing.

Our Philanthropy team is growing and we need a tenacious senior fundraiser, who is passionate about delivering great quality, high-value proposals to charitable trusts, foundations and institutions. You will have a track record of building great relationships with supporters and colleagues alike. This role is key to the ongoing success of our dynamic, high-performing Philanthropy team, delivering results in line with the Young Lives vs Cancer’s strategic ambitions. 

What will I be doing?

• You will be a key player in delivering the strategy to maximise income from a portfolio of both current and lapsed charitable trust donors, awarding grants min £30,000+

• Establish, maintain and develop personalised relationships with funders through consistent, creative and innovative stewardship – we are open to your ideas

• Research, approach and establish relationships with lapsed and prospective funders, to build new relationships and support pipeline development and growth for future funding

• Support senior colleagues at external events and meetings

• Identify, maintain and develop a portfolio of appropriate funding proposals

• Ensure prompt and accurate reporting to donors in your portfolio

• Develop and maintain annual work plans and database systems

• Report on performance against agreed budgets and targets

The key skills we’re looking for in this role are:

• High-value trust fundraising, with a successful track record of achieving ambitious fundraising targets.

• We also need demonstrable experience of trust proposal development.

• Experience of researching funding prospects (with knowledge of source materials) is also key

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills are a must 

• Ability to absorb complex information and present it in a clear, logical and appropriate manner 

• Ability to work as part of a team – the role requires collaboration with both managers and peers 

• Ability to develop relationships internally and externally 

• Comfortable building and working with project budgets and contributing to team budgeting

What will I gain?

• For people to reach their full potential, they need the right environment. As a member of Team Young Lives, you’ll be made to feel supported, valued and appreciated. Here’s how we do it:

• Flexible working: we’re open to working hours outside of 9 - 5 and we can talk through your flexibility requirements at interview stage

• Wellbeing days: four days a year to do what works for you – from catching up on training to going for a walk

• Generous annual leave allowance

• Great family/caring leave entitlements

• Enhanced pension

• Access to our employee savings scheme

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we recognise that opportunities for too many people remain a condition of their sex, ethnicity, class, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation – or a combination. This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. We don’t just accept difference, we value it, celebrate it, nurture it and we thrive because of it. We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support. We know we aren’t there yet, and we’re passionately committed to taking actions and making changes to be a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable organisation. This includes taking anti-oppressive action and removing barriers in our recruitment practices. We particularly welcome applications from members of minoritised communities. Our Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging strategy will tell you more.

We operate an anonymised shortlisting process in our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. CVs can be uploaded, but we won't be able to view them until we invite you for an interview. Instead, we ask you to fully complete the work history sections of the online application form for us to be able to assess you quickly, fairly and objectively.

Accessibility

We’re committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and we’ll always aim to be as accommodating as possible. Please let us know in your application form of any adjustments or access requirements we could make to help you with the application process and interview.

You may have experience in the following roles: Senior Fundraiser, Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser, Trusts Fundraising Manager, Major Donor Fundraiser, Philanthropy Officer, Bid Writer, Grant Fundraiser, Corporate Fundraiser, etc.
