The Sutton Trust is the UK’s leading social mobility charity. We believe every young person should have a fair chance in life, regardless of their family’s income, the school they go to or where they grow up. But today in Britain, the opportunity to succeed is heavily shaped by socio-economic background. Our mission is to change this. Our programmes empower young people to access life-changing opportunities, and our research influences national change to deliver a fairer future.

Each year, together with our university and employer partners, we support over 14,000 young people to reach their potential through our university, apprenticeship and career access programmes. And our support doesn’t stop there. We engage our thriving alumni community to help them to succeed in their professions and to act as advocates for social mobility.

Our rigorous and extensive research shines a light on barriers to opportunity from the early years to the workplace, and we strive to influence national policy change with evidence-based solutions to tackle educational and workplace inequality. Using insights from our programmes and research, we also test and scale new ideas in education and employment practice.

As an independent charity, our work is entirely reliant on the generous support of our community of donors. The need to support our work to tackle Britain’s low social mobility has never been greater.

We are an established and well-regarded local charity, providing crisis support and ongoing counselling to young people experiencing mental health challenges in the London borough of Richmond. We are looking for someone to join our friendly and supportive team, who can bring energy and commitment to build on our charity's well-established income streams, to identify, secure and nurture new funding opportunites and to contribute to exciting developments already underway. With autonomy to shape and grow your own fundraising portfolio, we also offer flexible working arrangements (home/office-based).

As a Community Fundraiser working locally, you'll have living and/or working knowledge of the London Borough of Richmond in order to develop and manage successful fundraising relationships with local businesses and community groups, build and nurture a network of local philanthropists and individual donors and plan and deliver fundraising activities at local fairs, events, and community initiatives.

Your strong communication and interpersonal skills will be invaluable when recruiting, motivating and managing volunteers to support fundraising activities and in delivering high-quality stewardship to supporters, maintaining regular contact through updates, thank you letters, and calls. 

The ability to work independently and manage your own workload is key; you will also work closely with the Business Manager to support an established grant fundraising portfolio, assisting with bid-writing and deputising when the Business Manager is away.

Whilst direct fundraising experience is strongly preferred, you may have transferable skills from project, event or client management roles. You'll have experience using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint; experience using Canva or a similar design programme would be beneficial but is not essential.
