* You're a solid bid and grant writer who thrives working to targets and manages their own pipeline
* You're a connection-led fundraiser who can steward supporters and nurture relationships to maximise their potential
* Ideally, you'll have some knowledge and experience across other income streams (community, corporate, individual giving, major donor)
* You bring positive energy by the bucket load and encourage those around you to do the same
* You think strategically and see the bigger picture, as well as being someone who rolls up their sleeves and gets the job done
* You're proactive, imaginative and love what you do
