Resources for Autism: Job Description
Job Title: Senior Trusts Fundraiser
Hours: Full Time, with the option of flexible working
Reporting to: Head of Income
Working alongside: Part time Fundraiser
Location: London/West Midlands base, remote working.
Salary: Up to £33,000 (depending on experience)
Resources for Autism: An Introduction
For 25 years, we have provided practical support to people on the spectrum and to those who love and care for them. From 1:1 support, to music/art therapy, from parent and sibling groups to holiday play schemes, we aim to give those whom we support a better and happier life.
As an organisation, we pride ourselves on openness, commitment to our clients, and supporting each other. Many of us enjoy the benefits of flexible working, and our staff turnover is remarkably low – which some attribute to being part of a pretty extraordinary, non-political, warm working culture.
Our Fundraising team has developed strong relationships over recent years with many of our regular trust donors, such as BBC Children in Need, the National Lottery Community Fund and the Joseph Levy Foundation.
With a newly appointed CEO, who is committed to growing the charity’s fundraising capacity and income from the current £500,000 to £1 million in the next few years, we are now looking for someone to join us on the next stage of our important journey.
The Senior Trusts Fundraiser Role
This is a newly created role, which has been developed in response to our recently developed fundraising strategy. Reporting into the Head of Income, and working closely with the whole office team – particularly the CEO and ‘service providers’ (those who directly support our clients), the post-holder will initially focus on trust and foundation fundraising, and in the future expand their remit into major gifts. S/he will be able to manage the prospecting and relationship management in full, from researching potential grant-makers, submitting applications, delivering evaluations, and keeping in regular contact with our donors.
We’re looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to the lives of people with autism – and who will be proud to see the real impact they’re able to make.
Key qualities we are looking for are a proactive candidate, with the ability to show attention to detail, demonstrate analytical and critical thinking as well as a knack to process information at a fast pace.
Key Responsibilities
- Research potential new funders and tailor project/core funding information
- Submit compelling grant applications, supported by compelling hard and soft data
- With support from the Head of Income, plan and deliver events for prospective and current trust supporters
- Build relationships with funders, through regular communication and face-to-face meetings where possible
- Work closely with colleagues from across the organisation to check that information is kept updated, and to ensure that financials are accurate
- Communicate with Finance about anticipated income
- Work with senior volunteers on donor approaches and ensure these approaches are well-coordinated
Essential Experience
- At least two years’ experience of successfully securing income for charities, ideally from trusts and foundations
- A demonstrable track record of securing grants of min. £20,000, and ideally multi-year grants
- Outstanding writing and communication skills
- Ability to understand financial language and budgets
- Strong research and prospecting skills
- Capacity to build excellent relationships with key stakeholders, both internally and externally
- Experience of measuring impact and delivering evaluation reports
Application: To apply, please send a maximum two-page covering letter and your CV to our Head of Workforce.
Deadline for applications: 31st January 2021
Interviews will be held online due to the current situation; we will be flexible given potential issues around childcare and illness.

Birth Companions is a small charity that supports women experiencing multiple disadvantage through the perinatal period in the community across London and currently in three different prisons. We aim to address some of the many health and social inequalities facing the communities we work with and, in doing so, improve the outcomes of our service-users and their children. We believe that no woman should be isolated or unsupported during this crucial transition.
Through the work of our staff and trained volunteers we offer practical and emotional support before, during and after birth. We work in a woman-centred way that is trauma-informed, flexible, non-judgemental and mindful, basing our support on what a woman tells us she needs.
The Coordinator: Community Antenatal Services will be involved in delivering all aspects of our targeted antenatal course model in the community, supporting some of the most vulnerable pregnant women and new mothers in London. The post-holder will be involved in the assessment of new referrals and maintaining appropriate partnership working with key referrers and relevant agencies. The role also includes coordination and support of paid sessional workers and volunteers who help to deliver the classes.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to temporarily suspend all of our classes and face to face support of women, and we have adapted our community services to provide remote support for women using phone, email and post.
There is still uncertainty about how COVID-19 will continue to affect our services. The way that the post holder will be asked to deliver our service will also depend on-going restrictions and guidelines issued by the Government.
We are therefore looking to recruit someone who is able to work in a flexible and creative way to support women through this challenging time.
This role is exempt from the sexual discrimination act 1975 as the post requires working closely with women. Only female applicants will be considered.
Birth Companions is committed to increasing the diversity of our staff team.
Currently women from Black, Asian and other ethnic groups who experience racism in our society are under-represented in the team and we therefore particularly welcome candidates from these communities. We will be using positive action under the Equality Act 2010 to appoint a candidate who is Black, Asian or from any other minoritised ethnic community if two candidates are equally qualified.
