Reporting to the Fundraising Manager, you will work towards agreed income and activity targets and maintain clear records of opportunities and follow-up actions.

You will work closely with the Income Generation Assistant, who coordinates central bookings, volunteer arrangements and practical administration, while you focus on developing relationships and growing support.
