MedEquip4Kids is a Manchester-based charity that improves the health of babies and children across the UK by providing hospitals with equipment not available from limited NHS resources. Last year, this charity positively impacted 120,882 young people, and since 1985, has raised £24 million! Do you want to join this team on their mission to provide more young people with life-saving support?

The Role

We are seeking a Trust Fundraiser to maximize the charity’s income through developing and delivering a trust and foundations strategy and pipeline, and by building meaningful and sustainable relationships with new and existing funders. Key duties include:

1. Researching new funding opportunities and prospects for trust and grants fundraising.
2. Writing effective applications and reports for trust and statutory funders.
3. Maintaining up-to-date pipelines and communication schedules with donors and prospects to ensure all opportunities are maximized.
4. Writing donor impact reports that meet all donor requirements and demonstrate relevant outcomes.
5. Supporting the wider team by attending charity events, contributing to social media, and updating the charity website.

The Person

We seek an enthusiastic and passionate individual with significant experience in creative writing and a proven track record of producing engaging and persuasive content. You should be a confident communicator capable of building effective relationships and fostering long-lasting positive engagements. While experience in trust fundraising is advantageous, we are also open to candidates looking to transition their creative writing skills into this rewarding area of fundraising.
