If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you. 

Important information

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater racialised minority representation in our senior roles. We know the value racialised minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.

We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.

We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!

This role is ineligible for sponsorship and so all applicants must have the right to work in the UK.

SSAFA’s Grants and Statutory Income Team, operating across the UK, are proud to announce this role as part of their strategic plans to develop a steady and growing source of income from statutory organisations.

About the role

This is a new fundraising opportunity to help provide support for serving personnel, veterans and their families ensuring that no-one battles alone.

Supported by the Statutory Grants Manager, this role is fundamental in developing, advancing and championing both new and existing income from local authorities, health providers, and other local commissioning bodies and grant funders. The aim of this role is to increase income generation in this area whilst enhancing SSAFA’s visibility and profile within these organisations on a local level. Achieving this will require the development of strong, strategic relationships, underpinned by excellent bid writing skills to produce effective proposals for support.

SSAFA is entering into an exciting period of strategic development with this income stream and if successful, you will be part of a small team with the potential for career development.

Whilst the post is homebased, to be eligible for this role you are required to live in the South East or South West of England as the role will focus on these regions and will require regular travel within them. There will also be an occasional need to travel across the UK and to work evenings and weekends at key events.

About the team

You will join a small, established and dedicated team who cover the whole of the UK. With regular team meetings and a variety of communication mediums you will be given ongoing support, training and mentoring throughout. We are a remote team and well connected to all colleagues. This supports and drives our determination and success 

About you

We are seeking an exceptional candidate who thrives on challenge and brings a strong understanding of the statutory funding landscape. You will be a determined, highly motivated individual, with a proven track record of securing significant funds from statutory organisations. You will be a natural communicator with proven success with bid writing and presentation skills. You will be a confident networker, able to represent the charity to external stakeholders and will excel at developing strong relationships with statutory organisations, both in person and remotely whilst working from home. An ability to self-motivate with a can-do attitude is a must.
