Are you an experienced fundraiser, with excellent written communication skills that can help our small charity with vitally important funding bids? Are you looking to work for a forward thinking and exciting charity? 

This is a challenging and exciting role; we are building our charity and need an experienced fundraiser to develop income streams that will bring in sustainable funds quickly.
