36% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Innovations for Learning (IFL) is a charity focused on using technology to close this literacy gap through a unique online reading support programme called TutorMate. 

About Innovations for Learning

Innovations for Learning (IfL) is a small but growing charity, which is working to ensure that every child in the UK acquires the literacy skills they need for their to thrive and fulfil their potential. Many children fall behind with reading simply because they lack the opportunity to practise. TutorMate addresses this problem by using a bespoke internet platform to pair volunteer tutors from corporate organisations with struggling pupils. TutorMate has been proven to improve the literacy outcomes, confidence and reading enjoyment of young children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our model is to partner with local and national businesses which recruit their own employees as volunteer readers and provide funding for the programme. TutorMate pairs struggling children (5- to 7-year-olds) with adult volunteers who use a bespoke internet platform and a voice connection to link – from their workplace or home – to a dedicated classroom laptop for 30 minutes a week, during the school day, over an entire academic year.  Up to ten children in each Year 1 or Year 2 class participate, giving the programme a reach and scale that no school is able to achieve with parent or community volunteers.

We have set ourselves an ambitious target of supporting 4,000 children by 2024. By securing 25% of our income from trusts and foundations,  this role will be pivotal in ensuring we meet this target.

About the role

IFL is seeking a highly motivated, proactive Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser to create creative, compelling and impactful bids. You’ll be a passionate, entrepreneurial fundraising professional who can get ‘under the skin’ of our work and is keen to make your mark in a fast-growing organisation.

You will develop and manage a funding pipeline by investing in thorough research and relationship cultivation, and you will thrive in working with funders and partners on a day-to-day basis. You’ll be a self-starter and have high standards for yourself and others.

Reporting directly to the Executive Director, you will generate income from new and existing trusts and foundations to fund 25 % of the work of the charity (2022-23 = £162k target).

Role Description

Job Title: Fundraising Manager

Reports to: Head of Fundraising

Salary: £30,000 - £33,000 per annum (dependent upon experience)

Location: Flexible - Shelter Cymru has offices across Wales and is working with staff to offer a form of hybrid working moving forwards.

Hours: 35 hours per week

Post No: SC617

______________________________________________________________

Background to our organisation

Shelter Cymru is the people and homes charity in Wales and works for the prevention of homelessness, the improvement of housing conditions, and the right of everyone to a safe, suitable and affordable home.

We understand the damage that bad housing causes. Every day we deal with the effect it has on people's lives.

Shelter Cymru’s 2025 Vision

Shelter Cymru has an ambitious vision that by 2025 the organisation will:

· Help more people to find long term solutions. We want to help more people experiencing or facing homelessness, or living in unsuitable homes, to find long term solutions to the problems they face

· Fight for good homes. Our policy, research, campaigning and lobbying will focus on structural drivers of need, evidenced by our casework, and underpinned by recognition of home as the foundation of people’s personal, social and economic lives and their health and wellbeing

· Build our resilience and capacity. We want to build a resilient and sustainable organisation that is continually learning and adapting to a changing environment; where our staff, and the people we exist to serve, feel valued and empowered.

Background to post

After a number of years of austerity and public service cuts, the demand for Shelter Cymru services continues to grow, whilst at the same time the complexity of issues that people face has grown too. The pandemic, followed by the cost of living crisis, has presented a new set of problems both in the short term in delivering services to people in need, and in the longer term through the anticipated economic impact on households across Wales.

Our Fundraising team is responsible for generating funds, for both new Shelter Cymru services and projects and to contribute to ‘core’ organisational running costs. It generates income and in-kind support from a range of sources (including appeals, activities and events, individual giving; legacies;

community groups; corporates; and trusts/foundations), enabling Shelter Cymru to achieve its goals. This new position is pivotal to the Fundraising team developing its role in relation to contracts and statutory funding; and in partnering colleagues across the charity to maximise our impact. It provides the opportunity to lead a small team of Officers who specialise in various income sources (currently four staff) and to shape and deliver operational plans and priorities, informed by our organisational strategy and our developing Funding & Income Generation Strategy.

Role summary/purpose

The Fundraising Manager will play a central role in identifying and securing new opportunities for funding and growth, leading a team responsible for the day to day delivery of our new Funding & Income Generation Strategy. They will collaborate with colleagues across Shelter Cymru to identify funding priorities and opportunities and to develop compelling funding ‘asks’. In addition, they will support the Head of Fundraising in shaping future strategy and will deputise for the Head of Fundraising, as necessary.

Main Duties

1.0 Fundraising and Income Generation

1.1 Lead a team to deliver the Fundraising and Income Generation Strategy, diversifying income streams and growing independent income; support the Head of Fundraising to further develop our strategic approach to funding and income generation.

1.2 Quality assure the team’s work and monitor team progress against KPIs and targets across all giving streams, including financial and non-financial ROI.
