Interviews: Week commencing 1st July 2024

Settle is a charity that supports young adults as they leave the care system and move into their first home. We provide intensive one-to-one support addressing practical life skills, sustaining a tenancy and managing emotional wellbeing. Our preventative approach to homelessness helps care-experienced young people to make long-lasting changes and thrive.

This is an exciting time to join Settle as we look to invest in and grow our fundraising and development capabilities. As Trust and Foundation Fundraising Manager, you’ll be working to generate income which will enable Settle to expand its reach, achieve its strategic goals and, ultimately, make a real difference to the amazing young people we serve.

You’ll work closely with our senior leadership and support team to help deliver our fundraising strategy. Reporting directly to our Head of Fundraising, you’ll lead on writing grant applications, reporting to funders, managing our prospects pipeline and developing and nurturing long-lasting and rewarding relationships with Trust and Foundation funders.

As a potential candidate, you’ll bring at least two years of grant-writing experience to the role and a strong track record of securing 5-6 figure sums. This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to step up to a managerial role, or someone already established at that level.

In joining Settle, you’ll be joining a fast growing and truly impactful organisation with lots of opportunity for progression and development within our friendly team. We are proud to have been voted one of Escape the City’s Top 100 companies to ‘escape’ to in 2021.

What we're looking for

You care about improving the lives of our young people
You’re deeply committed to our mission and will go the extra mile to ensure young people are receiving the best quality support they deserve.

You have outstanding writing skills
You’ll have a track record of writing high quality applications to trusts and foundations with a keen eye for detail and an understanding of what funders want to see in an application.

You’re great with people
You’re going to be working with colleagues, partners and young people from a range of backgrounds. It is essential that you demonstrate the compassion and communication skills to build good relationships, and that you are dedicated to embedding equality, diversity and inclusion into all areas of your work.

You take a strategic approach
You apply a considered, research-informed approach, both when identifying and approaching funders. You manage our fundraising pipeline and prospects with the bigger picture in mind, but are also meticulous in your attention to detail, recognising the rigour required in collecting data and in record-keeping, as well as the nuances of grant-writing. You are exceptionally organised and can manage multiple funding deadlines.

You are proactive
You will take ownership and responsibility for Settle’s Trust and Foundation fundraising, and you’ll be able to take initiative as well as instruction, leading on projects independently as well as working collaboratively with other team members when required. You will be able to prioritise your time effectively and approach tasks strategically to reach targets.

You are reflective
You’re continually looking for opportunities to learn and improve, both on your own practice and on Settle’s fundraising practice more broadly. You’re able to recognise areas for development and demonstrate an appetite for continual professional development and growth. You use data and evidence to make decisions and are able to recognise and learn from mistakes. You view feedback as a gift and use it to shape your practice.
