ABOUT TRAIN 

TRAIN is a youth work charity based in South Oxfordshire. We support young people aged 10 to 18 in Didcot, Wallingford and the surrounding areas, especially those who are under-served. 

Young people in our communities are facing complex challenges. Mental health struggles, pressures at school, family instability and the impact of poverty can leave them feeling isolated or overlooked. Too often, they don’t have access to the right support at the right time. TRAIN exists to change that. We offer trusted relationships with adults outside positions of authority, safe spaces where young people can be themselves, and opportunities to grow in confidence, make positive choices and feel part of their community. 

Our vision: every young person should have the opportunities, tools and support they need to create a positive future. 

ABOUT THE ROLE 

As Fundraising and Communications Coordinator, your main focus will be trusts and foundations: researching opportunities, writing persuasive applications and producing clear reports. You’ll also play a part in growing support from corporates, community fundraising, individual donors and major gifts, helping to build a broader base of income over time. 

Alongside this, you’ll lead on communications. That means keeping our website and social channels current, producing supporter newsletters, and sharing our story more widely through PR and campaigns. You’ll help make sure the difference TRAIN makes for young people is seen and understood by funders, partners and the local community. 

It’s a hands-on role, well-suited to someone who enjoys writing, building relationships and juggling different projects. You don’t need to be an experienced fundraiser — we’re open to people with transferable skills, whether from corporate, public or third sector backgrounds. What matters most is that you can communicate clearly, organise your workload, and are motivated by making a difference for young people. 

You’ll report directly to the CEO and work closely with the rest of the team. This is a part-time role of approximately 30 hours per week, which can be worked flexibly. The role is based in Didcot with hybrid working, but for the right candidate we will consider a fully remote arrangement. 

SALARY AND BENEFITS 

• Salary: £28,598 - £31,022 FTE (pro-rated, depending on experience) 

• Contract: Permanent, part-time, approx. 30 hours per week. We can be flexible on the exact number and when they are worked. 

• Annual leave: 25 days plus bank holidays (pro rata) 

• Pension: 3% employer contribution 

• Flexible working: Hybrid by default, fully remote considered. We’re happy to consider other flexible arrangements such as term-time only and job shares.

• Wellbeing: Access to an employee assistance programme with mental health and wellbeing support 

• Culture: Supportive, collaborative team with regular catch-ups and shared learning 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 

Fundraising (approx. 80%) 

• Pipeline and planning – work with the CEO to keep a clear fundraising plan, with trusts and foundations as the main focus alongside manageable growth in corporates, community, and individual giving. 

• Trusts and foundations – research prospects, build a live pipeline, and write strong, tailored bids. Prepare accurate budgets and gather evidence from the team to strengthen proposals. 

• Reporting and stewardship – deliver timely reports, thank funders and donors well, and manage renewals and uplift opportunities. 

• Relationship development – nurture links with local businesses, community groups and potential major donors. Prepare simple proposals and support fundraising events or activities as needed. 

• Systems and compliance – maintain accurate records of applications, deadlines and outcomes. Ensure fundraising activity is compliant with GDPR and charity regulations. 

Communications (approx. 20%) 

• Supporter communications – produce engaging newsletters, updates and thank-yous that connect donors and partners with TRAIN’s impact. 

• Digital presence – update the website and social media channels with accurate, timely content that reflects TRAIN’s work and values.

ABOUT YOU

Just as important, you’ll bring a genuine passion for TRAIN’s mission and a belief in the difference youth work makes.

• Strong written communication skills: able to produce clear, persuasive bids, reports and updates. 

• Good at building relationships, whether with colleagues, partners or supporters.

• Confident using IT tools (Microsoft Office, online research, basic social media platforms). 

• Passionate about TRAIN’s mission and motivated to make a difference for young people. 

• Satisfactory Enhanced DBS check (we will arrange this before you start). 

Desirable qualities 

• Experience of fundraising, bid writing or income generation in any setting. 

• Understanding of trusts and foundations, or the ability to learn quickly. 

• Experience in marketing, PR, or communications (e.g. social media, newsletters, supporter comms).

We offer

• Flexible, hybrid working.
• Pension scheme (5% employee / 3% employer).

We are looking for someone who:

• Demonstrates excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust with key stakeholders
• Has experience of supporting the wellbeing of caring professionals, ideally with those in Christian ministry

Global Canopy is a data-driven not for profit delivering real transparency and accountability for market impacts on nature and people. Our special focus is on ending deforestation – an essential step in achieving urgent global goals on climate, nature and human rights.

About Corporate Performance

A growing number of companies and financial institutions are seeking to mitigate their impacts on nature. But many have made commitments that are not being met, and others are failing to take any action at all. We hold to account through our Forest 500 project, assessing the policies and performance of influential companies and financial institutions. With our suite of Deforestation-free Finance Guidance and a forthcoming new tool, DEFT Pathway, we provide tools and data for financial institutions and investors to support effective engagement with high-risk companies.
