About the charity

They proudly lead the way when it comes to high-level psychosocial support throughout cancer treatment, end-of-life, and bereavement. Their new strategy sets out a plan to properly invest in the tailored support that’s needed, ensuring services remain relevant. Through trauma-informed, integrated social work and accommodation, plus a serious commitment to collaboration, they’re responding to the changing needs of children and young people by sharing knowledge that will lead to bigger, better impact.

Your Trusts and Foundations fundraising skills will play a vital role in helping achieve these goals.

About the role

This is a key position, as part of the strategic growth of the wider Philanthropy and Partnerships team. You’ll lead on delivery of the Trusts and Foundations strategy with a current pipeline of £1.4 million, through best practice relationship management and stewardship.

There’s also the added benefit of line managing a brilliant team. By developing a supportive culture that prioritises innovation and accountability, you’ll make sure everyone feels valued and strives for continuous improvement.

About you

We’re looking for someone with an exceptional personal track-record, securing significant multi-year grants at six and seven figures.

You’re skilled in identifying funder priorities and motivations, before matching them to relevant opportunities.

You work across an organisation as a strong team player, whether that’s problem solving, influencing or innovating.

You bring the best out in the people around you, knowing how to motivate a high-performing team.

You’re a nurturing and adaptable leader, whose style is firmly rooted in empowerment, coaching and mentoring.

You roll your sleeves up and get the job done, always with an eye on the bigger picture.

This is a truly unique opportunity and chance to be part of a something extra special.

If you’re feeling the ‘new year, new job’ itch, please get in touch with a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People.

Deadline: 9am on Friday 20th December
Interview dates TBC in January

Please get in touch ASAP if interested – we’re conscious of the upcoming break and while we promise you won’t miss out if your festive season is busy, we’d love to begin conversations early wherever possible.
