Do you want to join this team on their mission to provide more young people this life-saving support?

The Role

We are looking for a Trust Fundraiser to maximise the charity’s income through the development and delivery of a trust and foundations strategy and pipeline, and by building meaningful and sustainable relationships with new and existing funders. Duties will include:

• Actively researching new funding opportunities and prospects for trust and grants fundraising
• Writing effective fundraising applications and reports for trust and statutory funders
• Maintaining up-to-date pipelines and communications schedules of warm donors, lapsed donors and prospect research, ensuring all opportunities are fully maximised
• Writing donor impact reports that fulfil all donor requirements and demonstrate relevant outcomes
• Supporting the wider team by attending charity events, contributing to the social media schedule and updating the charity website.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate individual with significant experience in creative writing and a demonstrable track record of writing engaging and persuasive content. You should be a confident communicator, with the ability to build relationships effectively, and develop long-lasting positive engagements. While experience working in trust fundraising would certainly be advantageous, we are also happy to speak with people looking to transition their creative writing skills into this interesting and rewarding area of fundraising!
