Do you have proven experience of building relationships with, and fundraising from, Trusts, Foundations, Lottery or similar bodies? Then join Shelter as a Fundraising Executive - Trusts and Foundations and you could soon be playing a key role in raising vital funds to support our work which is needed more than ever. 

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. And, in the middle of a pandemic, our services have seen demand soar. Thousands more people are facing uncertainty and, as the impact on individual finances and the economy continues to emerge, sadly the number of people facing homelessness is likely to grow. Fundraising have never been more important.  Join us and together we can prevent more people from losing their homes. 

About the Role 
Building and managing relationships with a varied portfolio of trusts and foundations to secure gifts of £5,000 or more is the challenge here. That will include warm, lapsed and new trusts with a variety of funding interests, relationship management needs and application requirements. Accordingly, you’ll need to research, correspond, contact and meet with funders to build relationships ahead of submitting applications. And, for restricted applications, you’ll work with colleagues across Shelter to ensure each application meets our strategic objectives. Ensuring gifts from your portfolio are acknowledged in a timely manner will be important too, as will maintain a positive relationship with funders between applications. Managing regular mailings, sharing knowledge and supporting cross-team projects – all are aspects of this vital income-generating role.

About you 
You’re a passionate fundraiser with a proven track record of working with Trusts, Foundations, Lottery or similar bodies, and you have a thorough understanding of their needs utilising a range of techniques e.g. face-to-face, telephone, in writing etc. Excellent written communications skills are key, as is experience of creating clear, concise, and compelling applications and reports for funders. Confident in your ability to develop meaningful relationships with funders, including meeting them face-to-face to discuss funding opportunities, you're great at managing internal stakeholders too. What’s more, you're proficient using Microsoft Office applications plus Raiser’s Edge or a similar database.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own. 

To find out more about the role and the benefits of working for Shelter please visit our website. Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.

ROLE OVERVIEW

One Church Brighton is an inclusive and vibrant church community, as well as a collective of transformational projects and two beautiful buildings, all committed to bringing hope and love to Brighton & Hove and beyond.

It’s worth saying at the start that One Church Brighton is quite an unusual church. We are messy, organic and entrepreneurial; we have a variety of projects all trying to tackle social justice issues and we seek to encourage people to get involved with issues that they are passionate about, rather than directing the agenda from ‘the top’. We have a wonderfully eclectic worshipping church community who appreciate the space to be real, air their doubts, ask awkward questions, be utterly vulnerable and where a lack of judgmentalism and an embrace of different views are valued. We have become known for expressing an inclusive theology, as shown so wonderfully in the life and practices of Jesus, that manifests itself in encouraging people to be a part of us who might find less of a welcome in more traditional churches. This is not an incidental point, if you are not open to embracing and welcoming people of different sexuality, different belief, different attitude and behaviour you will find it very hard to work for One Church. If however this is the kind of thinking that thrills you, then you’ll find a wonderfully affirming and beautifully messy church community here in the amazing city of Brighton & Hove. 

All that we are and all that we do, across all of our projects and activities, is shaped by five core values. These are:

• Intimacy with God
• Involvement in the world
• Interdependence with one another
• Inclusion of everyone 
• Integrity in all we do 

One Youth Brighton is a key part of the wider One Church community, providing a range of free services to young people aged 10-18. The Youth Engagement Worker will lead these services, support and grow the volunteer teams that support them, and expand the reach of the projects so that we can meet and support as many young people as possible across Brighton and Hove. 

One Youth Brighton does not exist in a vacuum. There are excellent services and schools that the Youth Engagement Worker will need to work in partnership with across the city. In particular, over the past couple of years, we’ve found great value in working alongside Brighton & Hove Citizens. Through this partnership our young people have been a part of shaping and campaigning for the Mental Heath Service Pledge for Brighton & Hove. 

As well as this strategic and entrepreneurial side to the role, the Youth Engagement Worker will need to be someone who can engage deeply and naturally with young people, volunteers, and staff of diverse backgrounds and beliefs; who is passionate about supporting all young people as they journey towards spiritual, emotional and social maturity.

We’ve been really fortunate to secure funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and this role is paid for by that grant.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Youth Work 

• Coordinate and deliver 5-6 youth work sessions per week for One Youth Brighton, including:
  • ‘Safehouse’ - an after-school homework and social club twice per week
  • Evening open access youth clubs
  • Lunch clubs in local secondary schools
• Develop new opportunities for high quality youth work sessions
• Proactively build good relationships with young people, including mentoring relationships

• Referrals – maintaining contact list for agencies that refer young people to One Youth. Establishing new links as new clubs evolve or if existing clubs struggle for numbers
