Are you a bright and enthusiastic Fundraising professional with a passion for dogs? Dogs Trust is looking to appoint a permanent Trust and Foundations Officer to work in their London Head Office.

The successful candidates will apply their energy and enthusiasm and make an enormous difference to dogs in need, using their first-class skills to prepare inspiring and original applications in pursuit of trusts and foundation gifts up to and including the six-figure level. 

Our mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. As the largest dog-welfare organisation in the UK, we rehabilitate and rehome over 14,000 stray and abandoned dogs a year at our 21 rehoming centres. Dogs Trust Worldwide is an affiliate charity to Dogs Trust whose aim is to improve the welfare of dogs around the world and protect them from maltreatment, cruelty and suffering.

After a highly successful couple of years, the team is expanding, with the recent addition of two Team Manager roles which are also currently being advertised.  The new Trust and Foundations Officer and the Trust and Foundations Officer (maternity cover) role will join this enlarged team, working alongside existing Officers and reporting into one of the new Trust and Foundations Team Manager positions. Both teams will be based in London, with one team fundraising solely for Dogs Trust and other team focused mainly on securing funds for Dogs Trust Worldwide (but also for Dogs Trust to some degree).

Along the way you’ll be encouraged to see Dogs Trust’s amazing work for yourself and visit our world class rehoming centres.  You’ll also enjoy spending time with donors and supporters who share our love of dogs. 

Perhaps best of all, being a Trusts and Foundations Officer at Dogs Trust means working in environment where staff can apply to bring their own dog to work after a year of continuous service - so there are always plenty of our four-legged friends around to keep us company in the office while we trust fundraise!

These posts will be based in Dogs Trust London Office. (Initially there will be flexibility around location of work including working from home; interim flexible arrangements will be discussed at interview stage)

What you will be a part of

The Mills Archive Trust is one of a kind. Founded in 2002, we are the world’s only archive dedicated to preserving the history of milling. We tell the story of how milling has played a central role in humanity’s development, from our ancient origins and up to the present day.

We punch above our weight as a small charity, as evidenced by our early success in achieving Accredited Archive Status from the National Archives and our 2019 acceptance of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, which is the charity equivalent of an MBE.

As an independent educational charity we generate all income ourselves. The Trust has raised and spent more than £1.5 million and grown to a team of 5 professionals. Assisted by 20 volunteers, we are custodians for 3 million images, documents, and artefacts.

We are at an exciting moment in the Trust’s development: now that much material has been saved and made available, we want to build on this foundation to reach and enthuse new audiences.

Job Summary

You will be experienced in raising funds. You will work with the Director to increase income so that our core costs are covered. This includes applying for grants, maintaining and growing individual and organisational giving.

You will bring creative thinking, an innovative approach and a fresh perspective to help us develop the Trust so that it will continue to safeguard the Nation’s milling heritage for many years to come.

By working with the Director to develop and write grant applications, you will contribute to covering overheads and support our strategic growth.

A big part of your success will be down to how well you build and nurture relationships with current and potential supporters. You will enjoy and be proactive in meeting people and building links. You do not need to have an existing knowledge of milling – although it would help! - as long as you are open to learning and know how to work with others to get any information or support you need.

Ultimately, your work will allow for sustainable growth to enable the Trust to share this rich milling heritage with more people and encourage a revival in preservation and participation in history.

If you are a motivated self-starter with a proven fundraising ability and interest in heritage - and want to make your mark on a young and ambitious charity - then we would love to hear from you.

*This role is office-based, with the provision for some home-working by agreement*.

Key Responsibilities

• Research and write grant applications, and help on reporting progress to funders.
• Maintain our individual giving programme, manage our supporter schemes and build relationships with supporters.
• Grow individual giving through new initiatives e.g. appeals and new audiences.
• Maintain and grow our Heritage Partner and Corporate Friend schemes, finding ways to attract support from organisations to contribute towards covering our overheads.
• Identify potential funding sources to cover some of our core costs.
• Represent us at events, making influential presentations to internal and external groups.
• Organise events, develop printed and digital tools to build relationships with supporters and potential donors.
• Help to develop income from sales and fees e.g. copyright fees, image sales.
