Trusts Officer

A great opportunity has risen for a Trusts Officer to support our ambitious 5-year strategy by building relationships with Trusts + Foundations, engaging new supporters with our cause and ensuring existing supporters receive first-class stewardship.

Asthma + Lung UK is the only charity in the UK fighting for everyone with a lung condition, aiming for a world where everyone can breathe with healthy lungs. We fund cutting-edge research, provide advice and support for the 12 million people who will get a lung condition during their lifetime. We also campaign for clean air and for better NHS diagnosis and treatment.

You will take ownership of your own portfolio of Trusts + Foundations with the capacity to donate up to £10k, leading on all stages of the cultivation cycle from prospect identification to stewardship to retain existing supporters and generate new business. Proactive and tenacious, you will enjoy building relationships with funders via phone and email, using this insight to craft compelling and inspiring proposals and update reports which match funder interests.

You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, a keen eye for detail, and be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. You will be organised, creative, and able to manage competing deadlines across a varied portfolio. You will have robust IT skills, with experience of using a CRM system to update and maintain accurate donor records.

There is significant scope to make your mark on this role, working both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues across the organisation to drive income across our research, services and policy work and develop your own relationship management and grant management skills.

As well as a competitive salary, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits including 30 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), membership of a health cash plan, employee assistance programme, cycle-to-work scheme, interest-free annual season Travelcard loan and pension scheme. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation committed to being the driving force behind the transformation of lung health.

We will review applications continuously as they are received and reserve the right to appoint a suitable candidate prior to the stated closing date.

Salary:  £32,000 to £36,000 per annum

Contract: Permanent
