About the role

As Trusts Fundraising Lead, you’ll be Life Cycle’s lead specialist for Trusts and Foundations fundraising. Reporting to the Fundraising & Marketing Manager, you’ll take the lead on developing and managing a strong funding pipeline, identifying opportunities and securing grant income that supports Life Cycle’s charitable objectives and future plans.

Working with colleagues across the organisation, you’ll turn project ideas, organisational priorities and evidence of impact into clear, compelling funding cases. You’ll coordinate applications and proposals from initial research through to submission, making sure they are well evidenced, accurately costed and aligned with funder requirements.

You’ll also manage relationships with existing funders, overseeing reporting, stewardship and renewals to help build strong, lasting partnerships and maximise repeat funding. Alongside this, you’ll manage the Trusts CRM, ensuring funding opportunities, applications and relationships are recorded and kept up to date.

Working closely with the Marketing Lead and Supporter Care Officer, you’ll help communicate Life Cycle’s impact through applications, reports, stewardship materials and wider communications.

This is a varied role combining strategic pipeline development with hands-on fundraising. You’ll have the opportunity to shape Life Cycle’s trusts fundraising, build strong funder relationships and secure funding that directly supports Life Cycle's work, transforming lives through cycling.

About Life Cycle

We're a charity that transforms lives and the environment through cycling. Since 1999 we've supported over 97,000 people through bike-based activities - including those who need extra care and support on their cycling journey.

Every grant you win becomes someone's first conversation in English, their first step into a job interview, their first time speaking up at a housing tribunal.

English for Action (EFA) is looking for a Partnerships Manager to grow the funding that powers our free, participatory ESOL classes for around 400 migrants across London. Our classes don't just teach English, they build the confidence and collective power people need to organise around housing and employment rights.

About the role

Working closely with our Fundraising Lead, you'll take real ownership of relationships with trusts, foundations and corporate funders, while helping shape how we diversify our income going forward. This is a role with genuine scope to bring your own ideas and see them through, not just execute someone else's plan.

You will:
- Write compelling grant applications, funding proposals and reports that win and retain funding
- Research and build a realistic pipeline of trusts, liveries and corporate foundations
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with existing donors and prospects
- Contribute to EFA's fundraising strategy, including newer income streams such as statutory, corporate, individual giving, membership and events
- Liaise with our Executive Team, Hub Leads and Project Managers so funding proposals stay grounded in what's actually happening in our classrooms and communities
- Maintain accurate donor and grant records on Donorfy, and support monitoring and evaluation of project outcomes

About you

You don't need a degree, and you're not expected to tick every box, nobody does. We're looking for someone with a track record of successful grant writing, strong research and relationship-building skills, and the organisation to manage multiple funding deadlines at once. Knowledge of the UK charity sector and UK trusts and foundations is essential; experience with public sector or EU education funding is a bonus.

If you have lived experience of migration and/or learning English as an additional language, we'd love to hear from you and how you'd like to draw on it in this role.

About EFA

English for Action provides free, participatory, empowering ESOL classes for migrants in London, spaces where students build community and organise collectively around issues like employment and housing rights. We're a national centre of good practice for a radical, participatory approach to ESOL, and we share this approach through training, research and partnerships. We're a team of 11 staff, a wider team of volunteers, and 7 trustees, run through shared leadership rather than a CEO, decisions are made collaboratively, and we aim for our structure to reflect that.

What we offer

- 22.5 hours (3 days) a week, mostly remote, with just monthly in-person meetings in London
- 28 days' annual leave (pro rata) after probation, plus bank holidays, plus a full week's paid closure over Christmas
- 6% matched pension contribution
- Enhanced sick pay, and enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption/shared parental leave
- Wellbeing allowance and full entitlement to leave for sickness, including mental ill-health
- A genuinely flat, non-hierarchical culture with collaborative decision-making on strategy and practice
- Tech and cycle scheme, and actively encouraged continuous personal development

Equal opportunities

EFA particularly encourages applications from people of colour, who are currently underrepresented at EFA and across the charity sector, and from people who have experienced moving to the UK or have English as an additional language. Where two or more candidates are of equal merit, priority may be given to a candidate from a less well-represented group. Please let us know about any access or other requirements we can accommodate.

Closing date: 11.59pm, Wednesday 30th September 2026
