We also strive to include team members in communities most impacted by climate change or impacted by other kinds of environmental, social, and economic injustice.

We are recruiting for a Fundraising Manager within a small organisation who have been really stable during COVID. They have a well-established fundraising team with a large portion of their funding coming from trusts and foundations.

This role will oversee a team of three to deliver income across trusts, major gifts, individual giving, community and events, so they need someone with experience of working across at least two of these areas (experience of trust fundraising is key).

This role will lead on the strategy across these areas but will have a more hands-on approach with the major donor programme and individual giving whilst supporting the team to deliver in the other areas. You will report into the Director of Fundraising, who is excellent.

You will need:

• Strong experience of working across multiple income streams, ideally with some exposure to trusts and foundations and major gifts.
• Experience of managing people, ideally with two or more direct reports
• Experience of working with different teams and building strong relationships internally
• A clear, engaging and strategic approach to fundraising

Closing Date: 21^st April 2021
Salary: £38,000 - £42,000
