Are you passionate about building lasting relationships that create real impact? Join Guide Dogs as our Major Donor Fundraising Officer and help change lives by securing vital funding from high-value supporters. 

In this exciting and rewarding role, you’ll focus on cultivating and managing relationships with philanthropists capable of giving £10,000 or more. Working with existing supporters, your goal will be to deepen their connection to our cause and inspire transformational gifts that support our work with blind and partially sighted people across the UK. 

You’ll manage your own portfolio of major donors, taking ownership of income targets and leading face-to-face ‘asks’ to secure significant and multi-year funding.
