Greyhound Trust is looking for its first-ever Individual Giving Officer — a pivotal role in our growing Income Generation & Engagement team. This is a chance to shape, grow, and lead our individual giving programme from the ground up, helping us care for and home more greyhounds across the UK.
About the Greyhound Trust
For over 50 years, Greyhound Trust has supported greyhounds transitioning from racing into loving homes where they can thrive. Each year, with an annual income of around £4.5m, we home thousands of dogs, relying on a passionate network of staff, branches, and volunteers.
The world is changing, and so is the way people engage with causes they care about. We are now looking to grow and diversify our individual giving, building long-term relationships with supporters who share our commitment to the welfare of greyhounds. This is your chance to play a key role in shaping our strategy, delivering creative campaigns, and helping secure the financial foundation for the Trust’s future.
The Role
Reporting to the Head of Income Generation and Engagement, you will be responsible for:
- Creating, delivering, and evaluating our Individual Giving
- Building a diverse and sustainable portfolio of individual giving income streams, including regular giving, appeals, raffle, lottery, digital fundraising, mid-level giving, and legacy gifts.
- Planning and delivering multi-channel campaigns that integrate with marketing, communications, and retail initiatives.
- Using data and insight to drive performance, monitor results, and develop strong cases for support.
- Supporting branches and volunteers in delivering individual giving initiatives.
- Developing supporter journeys that encourage loyalty, growth, and long-term engagement.
- Ensuring all activities comply with fundraising legislation, best practice, and data protection law.
This is a hands-on role, that will allow you to take ownership of your programme while collaborating across the Trust to deliver impactful campaigns and initiatives.
Is this role right for you?
This role will suit you if you are an ambitious, hands-on fundraiser who thrives in a small, collaborative team where everyone is invested in the success of the whole organisation. You enjoy taking ownership, sharing ideas, and seeing things through to delivery, and you value open communication, mutual support, and a culture where colleagues are trusted to innovate and experiment.
You are likely to thrive if you enjoy balancing independent responsibility with teamwork, and if you are motivated by making a tangible difference rather than simply delivering outputs. You are curious, thoughtful, and practical, and you are happy to contribute beyond your immediate remit to help the organisation succeed.
Why join us?
- Be part of a compact, passionate, and close-knit team.
- Lead the development of the first dedicated individual giving programme in the Trust’s history.
- Work in a medium-sized, agile charity with a strong sense of purpose and financial stability.
- Play a key role in growing support and enabling more greyhounds to be cared for and rehomed across the UK.
