Based at Head Office in London or satellite offices in Manchester or Birmingham, all with flexible working arrangements 

Context

This is a new role, created to deepen the charity’s engagement with trust funders and work with corporate partners to secure corporate foundation income.

Everything we do contributes to our three impact pillars;

But if ever there was a time for action, the time is now.

This has only been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, bringing even more barriers for the children and families struggling the most.
