This is an exciting and opportune time for an experienced fundraiser to join our team.

Katherine Low Settlement is a charity that has been serving Battersea and the wider Wandsworth community since 1924. We are dedicated to building stronger communities so that we can enable people to challenge and find ways out of poverty and isolation.

The strengths of Katherine Low Settlement lie in our relationships, facilities, reputation and fundraising capability to empower communities in Wandsworth in their fight against poverty and isolation. Our latest 5-year strategy sets out our plans to broaden the range of services and activities. We are already at capacity fitting fundraising and income generation into the myriad of day-to-day operational work. We are looking for a dynamic and experienced fundraiser to raise more funding from charitable trusts and foundations and major donors; and then manage the relationships and grants we secure.

Objectives for this Role

• Successfully generate income in line with KLS 5-year strategy, fundraising plan and annual budget.
• Develop and maintain relationships with, and secure funds from, a portfolio of loyal and prospective supporters (priority is Charitable Trusts, Foundations and the Lottery, and Major Donors) – putting strong and enduring relationships at the heart of our fundraising work.

INITIALLY HOME WORKING – HEADQUARTERS BASED IN HARLOW, ESSEX (29 minute train ride from Central London, with major rail links to other areas and free staff parking)

Applicants from all backgrounds are welcome, especially those with lived experience of disability or a long-term health condition.

Motability is a national disability and transport charity. At a time of growth and new opportunities for our organisation, we want to make faster progress to realise our vision to ensure that no disabled person should be disadvantaged due to poor access to transportation. And we want to explore a wide range of transport solutions that might meet the needs of people living with disabilities. This is an exciting opportunity to play a role in our work to do that. 

You will work with staff and external partners to develop specific opportunities within our innovation pipeline and our two initial innovation priority areas. You will draft project management materials including feasibility studies, partnership proposals and business cases that support senior staff and our Board of Governors to prioritise among opportunities to innovate, embedding and reviewing our 2020 Innovation Framework.

You will scope projects that build on an existing evidence base, contributing to and leading on research priorities where necessary. You will work collaboratively with key stakeholders in the not for profit, public and commercial sectors as required, specifically in the fields of disability and transport.

You will use your knowledge of creative innovation methodologies, efficient funding mechanisms, and new routes to impact, and for example might manage the rollout of a challenge prize or run the day-to-day operations of a funding round for external research projects.

Your work will help to ensure that Motability is able to use its charitable resources to best effect to improve the lives of disabled people. You will work closely with senior staff to support delivery of the Innovation Pillar of Motability’s Strategy.

You will build subject-specific expertise in our initial innovation priority areas, broadly based around amplifying user voice and community/door-to-door transport. You will also build an understanding of key disability and transport issues, such as the social model, new mobility, electric vehicles, active travel, inclusive design, user voice and “what works,” community transport, and door-to-door transport.

If you have the ability to manage multiple simultaneous and complex projects from scoping all the way through to delivery and scaling; work closely and build strong relationships at a charity moving towards a blended working model; engage effectively with external stakeholders in Government, industry, and other charities and foundations; oversee and commission qualitative and quantitative research projects; and possess exceptional written and oral influencing skills; then we would love to receive your application.

Reports to the Head of Innovation, with an expected salary of £40-45k per annum. Applications close at midnight on Monday, April 12th. First round interviews will begin w/c April 12th.
