The strategy will be aimed at individual supporters, Corporates, HNWI’s (High Net Worth Individuals), Trusts and Foundations so that the Trust can meet annual and longer term fundraising targets in order to find better treatment for Marfan syndrome, while educating patients, doctors and the public about this potentially fatal heart disease.

The role will include supporter acquisition and retention of our 5,000 strong supporter database, as well as developing and increasing income opportunities and engagement from new and existing supporters and donors. The incumbent will also enable the Trust to become a membership organisation.

The results of the Trust’s internationally recognised research enable doctors and surgeons to provide better treatment for patients in the short and long term. Over 18,000 people are affected by Marfan syndrome in the UK, with many more anticipated to be living with the condition undiagnosed. Our important work hopes to improve the treatment of patients and increase awareness of this condition. For more information, visit our website.

The position will focus on developing their corporate partnerships. You will be developing their pipeline, working on prospecting and contacting new potential partnerships. They have some fantastic partnerships already, but they see a huge potential of growth within Corporate, which this post holder will be in charge of.

You will need to have a good background in Corporate Fundraising, ideally two years. It would also be useful to have a good market knowledge of other fundraising income streams too as there will be occasional cross over too.

Deadline is the 30th of September.

Salary is £30,000 - £35,000.

I will need a CV and a supporting statement.
