Since 1952, we have tackled the barriers that limit the life chances of disabled people. We have helped bring about massive change, providing practical advice and emotional support whenever people need them most, but there is still much to do until our society works for everyone.

If you share our passion and want to be part of an organisation that change the lives of disabled people for the better, we want you on our team. We think we have a role that might just fit the bill.

The Role

Realising our vision relies on raising funds from all kinds of supporters. Our newly created Philanthropy and Grants Team focuses on grant funders and major donors, a vitally important but relatively undeveloped area for Scope. That’s about to change as we invest in new roles and people with passion and energy that together will be sector leading in both approach and impact.

This is an important role for Scope. Success will require tenacity, but we are determined grow this area of our fundraising portfolio and you will have the mandate and all the support needed to make a real, positive difference. If you are up for the challenge, we’re keen to hear from you. If you’d like to find out more, click on through.

About you

A self-starter with a creative approach, our new Trust Fundraiser will be responsible for their own portfolio of trusts. You will need to develop and manage relationships with Scope’s current funders and to build relationships with new ones, inspiring them all to support as much as they can. The post-holder will also work with the Trust Lead to develop and implement an ambitious strategy for trust funders that takes our work to a whole new level. While we are looking for someone with experience of trust fundraising, what we really want is a team member with the skills, attitude and approach needed to succeed so we will consider people with other relevant experience.

We ask you demonstrate an appreciation of Scope’s values and ambition of achieving Everyday Equality for disabled people.

SCM is a community of students, past and present, and it is community that is at the heart of who we are and how we do things. Wherever students find us and however they engage, they are our purpose; supporting them to be, and, where they are open to it, to grow in their lives and faith.

We are deeply committed to an inclusive, progressive and radical approach to the Christian faith and we are a movement for today, which means campaigning on current issues of concern such as the refugee crisis, the arms trade and food injustice, and modelling LGBTQ+ celebration and pushing the church to do the same. As we put our faith into action we often see our members becoming more confident as leaders, growing as everyday theologians, developing as activists and flourishing in their discipleship.

Our membership is made up of an incredible diversity of people. Some gather in local communities on their university campus or at their church, others come together at a regional level through informal networks, and some members won’t have a local community, so their place of connection is through our national, especially online, work. Wherever someone connects with SCM, our values are present and our aims are worked towards. For some SCM is a place to ask hard questions and be challenged by others who are wrestling with faith and ethics. For others, it is a safe Christian space to express and settle in their queer identity. And for all, it is a place where they can simply be.

SCM is a small charity with a strategic plan for growth and sustainability, of which our fundraising is a key part. We are looking for someone who will continue to grow and professionalise our fundraising using the aims and goals of the fundraising strategy. They will build and maintain key fundraising relationships, particularly with churches and individuals, as well as effectively communicating with grant making trusts and potential partners.

The main duties of this role include:

• Maintaining and developing long term relationships with the SCM Friends network, who are our individual regular donors.
• Organising events and outreach activities to engage existing and new donors.
• Developing the potential of legacy income.
• Maintaining SCM’s database of donors.
• Identifying and engaging with new church partners, including speaking at services and events, exhibiting at local and regional denominational events, and promoting activities such as Student Sunday.
• Supporting other members of the team to integrate the fundraising message across the organisation.
• Supervising the production of fundraising materials, including paper and online materials.
• Researching new potential trust funding opportunities.
• Maintaining long-term and developing new relationships with trusts and funds through face-to-face meetings with trust secretaries and trustees.
• Developing strong cases for support and writing inspirational proposals.
• Reporting on fundraising activity to the trustees and grant making bodies.

The ideal candidate for this role will be someone who is skilled at building and maintaining key fundraising relationships, particularly with churches and individuals, and can effectively communicate our vision to gain support from grant making trusts and potential partners. You will need to demonstrate, in addition to the skills and experience listed in the person specification, that your values align with our values, and that you share our commitment to safeguarding. A willingness to learn and a positive attitude are as important to us as qualifications and experience, so do please get in touch even if you don’t think you meet all of the criteria quite yet.

You would be joining a small but dynamic staff who are deeply committed to the values and work of SCM, and who are excited to welcome you the team and work with you in your role. We can also offer you a competitive salary, a generous annual leave entitlement, pension contributions and enhanced sickness and family leave pay, as well as flexible, hybrid working (a mix of office and home based) from day one.

We actively encourage people from structurally disadvantaged backgrounds and underrepresented groups to apply. This includes, but is not limited to, people from communities experiencing racial inequality, migrants, refugees, women, non-binary people, people who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or people from an economically deprived background. Due to the nature of this role and the responsibilities of the successful post-holder, a genuine occupational requirement to be a committed Christian is in place for this role in accordance with the provisions of the Equality Act 2010.

For an informal conversation about this role please contact Revd Naomi Nixon, CEO.

Applications should be submitted electronically in Word format by email before the closing date and time. Please ensure that you clearly state the role you wish to apply for.

About Us

Harris Westminster combines the energy of brilliant young people from across London’s diverse neighbourhoods, the strength of Westminster School in teaching academically able students, and the Harris Federation’s experience and expertise in running outstanding maintained sector schools.

They aim to make their mark on the world for the long term and learn that they can have a positive and lasting impact. Students from different backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles work together and listen to each other to understand more deeply how these differences affect our experiences, to overcome prejudices and create a more equal society. During their time at the school they develop a love of learning and acquire the habits of enquiry, knowledge acquisition, and scholarship.
