Job description

THE ROLE

Join the 24-7 Prayer team!

We're looking to recruit a skilled and strategic Trusts and Foundations Manager who is passionate about weaving stories and stats together in a way that inspires funders to support 24-7 Prayer. You'll be someone who loves building genuine relationships with funders, can seek out new opportunities, manage numerous existing relationships to a high standard, and write compelling applications.

In this role, you'll bring experience in Trusts and Foundations fundraising. You'll have effective and excellent written and verbal communication skills with a knack for making funders feel truly connected to our movement. We are a relational movement and seek someone who both values and demonstrates authentic connection with people. Alongside this, you will have a personal passion for prayer, mission, and justice.

This role would suit someone with previous experience of working with grant makers, and we'd also be open to hearing from people with transferable skills.

This role can be either based in our Woking office or a hybrid role. If hybrid, there is a requirement to attend mandatory in-person meetings at either our Woking office or Waverley Abbey House (averaging once a month). This role will also require occasional travel both nationally and internationally.

1. Your CV
2. A 1-page covering letter explaining why you are suitable for the role and why you would like to work at 24-7 Prayer.

Closing date for applications: Sunday 5 January 2025

Interview date: Wednesday 15 January 2025 (in person in Woking)

Please note that this role holds an occupational requirement for the post holder to be a practising Christian with a living relationship with God, living in accordance to biblical principles. This is in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010.

About the organisation: 24-7 Prayer began as one simple prayer meeting in 1999, and is now an international, interdenominational movement, reviving the church and rewiring the culture through non-stop night and day prayer. From apps and courses to prayer rooms and blogs; we exist to help people pray.
