You may already be a Regional Fundraiser looking for your next role with an ambitious medium-sized charity, or you may currently be in your first fundraising role, ready to take the next step in your career.  Whatever your experience, we are committed to investing the time in developing the right individual. This new role will be shaped according to your skills and expertise, and will develop over time based on the success we have in building partnerships with local businesses, securing major donor support, running local events and engaging the community with our plans. 

As a Regional Fundraiser, you’re a people-person, self-motivated, well-organised, able to multitask, a strong administrator, a fantastic team player, have excellent interpersonal skills and enjoy being outdoors.  You must be as comfortable in the boardroom engaging high net-worth individuals as you are donning wellies and waterproofs to stand on the side of a mountain for the day.

This will help you really understand the life-changing difference the Youth Adventure Trust makes and enable you to show our donors and fundraisers the tangible impact of their support.

Our outdoor activity based YAT Adventure Programme enables young people to challenge themselves, experience success, learn to go beyond their own expectations and grow in confidence. Through a series of residential camps and day activities they are able to build resilience, self esteem and develop social and life skills. The YAT Resilience Programme works to the same outcomes through a year long programme of monthly activities, home-based challenges and reflective practice. Our Mentoring Programme works with those young people in need of some additional individualised support at the end of our other programmes. The Trust’s Bursary Programme is open to all those young people who have completed an initial programme, in order to assist their next steps into further activities. Our aim is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of vulnerable young people. All our services are provided completely free of charge to the young people who are nominated by schools and other youth organisations to take part. 

The continued success of the fundraising team is more important than ever as we plan to increase our capacity and reach into a new geographical area. This is an exciting time to join a small charity with big ambitions and this role will be instrumental in enabling us to reach more vulnerable young people at a time when they need support more than ever.

About Citizens Advice in North and West Kent (CANWK):

CANWK is an independent charity affiliated to national Citizens Advice, supporting a population of over 650,000 people across Dartford, Gravesham, Sevenoaks, Swanley, Tonbridge & Malling and Tunbridge Wells districts in Kent.  We are a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation, working proactively to deliver a wide range of high-quality advice services across the area to give people the knowledge and confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are and whatever their problem. 

Faced with ever increasing demand for our advice, we have embraced innovative ways to engage with hard-to-reach people in our community and to maximise the impact of our limited resources. Last year we helped almost 17,000 clients to find solutions to their problems, build the knowledge needed to avoid problems in the future and feel empowered to resolve issues on their own.

As a local charity with an annual income over £1.7million (primarily from trusts and statutory sources) we have a strong track record for you to build upon, with current multi-year projects funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, Kent County Council, our 5 local authorities and several significant charitable trusts and foundations. 

The role:

The Trusts & Statutory Fundraising Manager will be working closely with the CANWK senior management team and be responsible for implementing strategies to secure new funding from trusts, foundations, and statutory bodies.

You will identify new potential partnerships and bidding opportunities and create compelling proposals to attract funding for both unrestricted income and targeted projects. You will take a project management approach to developing applications and proposals where necessary – bringing together the input of others in CANWK (eg. senior management team, advice team managers and finance) whilst meeting deadlines. You will also lead on a range of existing secured grants and undertake grant management and funder stewardship to ensure we maintain excellent funder relations and secure opportunities for repeat funding. 

As an organisation wholly reliant on charitable donations, you will play a vital role in keeping the charity financially sustainable through these most challenging times for both us and our clients.  With demand for our advice higher than ever, you will be able to see a clear correlation between your work and the positive impacts for our clients.

What we are looking for:

• Experience of successful trust and statutory fundraising and writing high quality, winning funding applications and proposals.
• Experience of securing high five and six figure, multi-year funding packages.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messages to different audiences.
• Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building and project management skills.
• Experience in cultivating strong relationships with funders, including preparing focussed progress reports.
• A self-motivated, proactive and professional approach to your work.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary and benefits package and a flexible working environment within a supportive and friendly team. 

We are delighted to be partnering with a UK leading national health charity as they search for a Fundraising Consultant. This rare and exciting opportunity will allow an experienced fundraiser the opportunity to have a huge impact on the growth of fundraising within specific targeted areas.

About the role

 This is a new role within the Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships team responsible for developing and leading our major donor programme. Myeloma UK is embarking on an ambitious five-year income generation strategy, which aims to increase income from £5m to £10m by 2028.

The Philanthropy Manager is also responsible for managing and supporting the Philanthropy Officer in securing mid to high level donations from individuals.

The major donor programme at Myeloma UK is established - we have a strong community of existing high-level supporters and have identified significant potential donors within our community - but these opportunities have not been fully leveraged in the past.

The role requires outstanding relationship building skills, and the ability to work with high-net-worth individuals, to build credibility and trust and inspire them to support Myeloma UK.

We need someone with exceptional relationship management skills with the ability to nurture high value relationships and also work closely with senior colleagues, Trustees and other volunteers to build deep and long-lasting donor relationships. It will be crucial to work closely with colleagues across the charity to identify fundraising priorities, develop fundraising propositions and involve them in the cultivation and stewardship of key relationships.

You will be a skilled communicator and negotiator with the ability to communicate complex scientific information in an engaging way. We need someone who can build relationships from scratch, uncover donor motivations and convey the importance of Myeloma UK’s work to inspire support.
