Job description

Camphill Village Trust is a social care provider and charity rooted in nature and community, supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health support needs to live healthier, more active and independent lives.

For over 70 years we have pioneered a different kind of care - shaped by place, purpose, and the natural world. We believe care should do more than meet needs, it should create opportunity, belonging, and purpose. By rooting our support in meaningful work, relationships, and the natural environment, we help people to build skills, confidence, and independence.

The Regional Fundraising Manager (National Programme Development) will lead the creation, development and delivery of Camphill Village Trust's community fundraising programme. You will establish community fundraising as a sustainable and growing income stream across the trust by creating a framework that can be scaled across Camphill Village Trust nationally. This role combines strategic planning, relationship building, and programme development but also encompasses hands‑on delivery across our northern communities. You will play a key role in raising awareness of Camphill Village Trust, strengthening community connections and creating opportunities for supporters to help more people with learning disabilities and autism live extraordinary lives.

• Create fundraising resources, toolkits and supporter materials that make it easy for people to get involved.
• Establish KPIs, reporting frameworks and performance measures to track success and inform future growth.
• Build strong relationships with supporters, volunteers, schools, community groups and local businesses.
• Identify regional corporate fundraising opportunities and partnerships and work with the Philanthropy Manager to develop these relationships.
• Work closely with Marketing and Communications colleagues to raise awareness of fundraising opportunities and campaigns.
