Who are we looking for?
Ideally someone with previous trusts experience, although we'd be happy to consider candidates from other income streams (community, corporate, major gifts) looking to forge a career in trusts. We'd also be open to bid writing candidates from the private sector with transferable skills. You'll be naturally inquisitive and always keen to learn and develop your skills, keeping abreast of trends and developments in the grant-making field.

Based from Cardiff office and open to partial homeworking. Flexible employer with life and family-friendly culture. Condensed hours, a 9-day fortnight and 4 days per week are all possible for the right candidate.

We're looking to move quickly with this opportunity, as the charity is currently supporting the NHS with essential COVID-19 efforts.
