DEBRA is the national charity supporting individuals and families affected by epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare and incredibly painful genetic skin condition in which the skin and internal linings blister and tear at the slightest friction.

Develop and implement a trust fundraising strategy to meet income targets.
Research, write, and submit compelling funding applications to trusts and foundations.
Manage a portfolio of existing funders, ensuring timely reporting and stewardship.
Monitor grant performance and ensure compliance with funder requirements.
Collaborate with programme and finance teams to gather project information and impact data.
Maintain accurate records using the organisation's CRM/database (Access Evo CRM).
Represent the organisation externally, building relationships with funders and partners.

Experience and Skills:

Proven experience in trust fundraising (or commercial equivalent), with a track record of securing grants.
Strong bid writing skills with the ability to tailor proposals to different audiences.
Excellent project management and organisational skills.
Ability to analyse financial and impact data for reporting purposes.
Confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
Willingness to travel nationally and attend in-person meetings/events quarterly.

This is a fantastic role for an experienced Trust Fundraiser to join a high-performing fundraising team with some big ambitions in place.
