Our Fundraising Manager has gone on maternity leave so we are looking for someone who is confident to hit the ground running and manage our organisation’s fundraising programme. The majority of our fundraising income currently comes from trusts, foundations and other grants so experience, proven success and a flair for writing and relationship building are essential.
