Philanthropy Manager

About the Role 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. Whilst we work towards developing a more diverse funding model and navigate changes to the external Trust environment, sustaining and growing income from Trusts will remain vital. Responsibilities & Expectations You will be a highly organised, dedicated and reliable individual ready to play a significant role in income generation. An exceptional and eloquent communicator, excellent at managing your time and a natural relationship builder. You will have a collaborative mindset, and be willing to engage with colleagues across the fundraising team and wider charity to create the greatest outcomes for the children and families we support. You will have considerable experience fundraising from grant makers and will be able to demonstrate your success with securing high value gifts and building meaningful relationships. You will have confidence in your ability to make an impact through collaborative lateral thinking. 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. About Noah's Ark Children’s Hospice Designed by families, for families, The Ark was opened in September 2019 by the Mayor of London. The grounds offer wheelchair‑accessible outdoor experiences, including a Woodland Walk through a 7‑acre nature reserve, a hydrotherapy pool and overnight suites for families to be close to their loved ones. At The Ark we are able to provide Specialist Care and Nursing for babies, children and young people, supporting their full clinical, emotional, social and practical needs. We have created a space where children who are seriously unwell are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence. Rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, the charity has had a sustained period of growth over the last two years and we are looking for high‑quality employees to come and be a part of that success. Our expert staff and trained volunteers provide clinical, emotional and practical support for families across North and Central London and Herts Valley. We carefully adapt our support for every child and offer it wherever it is required – whether in their home, their community or at our state‑of‑the‑art children’s hospice building, The Ark, in Barnet. Noah's Ark Children’s Hospice helps babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell, and their families, make the most of every day. The charity aspires to become a centre of clinical excellence for children with life‑limiting or life‑threatening conditions. We've been on a major upward trajectory in recent years, with more children being supported, more major hospitals being partnered with and more supporters donating. We've transformed from being an enthusiastic start‑up delivering care in the community, to a serious player delivering major impact both in the community and at our state‑of‑the‑art hospice building, The Ark, opened in 2019. Philanthropy, which covers Grants, Trusts & Foundations and Major Donor fundraising streams, is pivotal to Noah's Ark, typically accounting for around 50 % of the charity's voluntary income. This is an area of real expertise for Noah's Ark, with much scope for further refining. The successful candidate will therefore be instrumental in taking this key income stream forward, add to an exciting portfolio and gain further training and support, working as part of a high‑performing and super‑supportive team, ready for its next development phase. #J-18808-Ljbffr
