You will coordinate fundraising strategies across a broad range of income streams. You, too, will be expected to engage with donors regularly, develop compelling proposals, and provide strategic support and direction for organisational and programme of fundraising.

About you:

• Collaborative; a real team player
• Hard working and committed; you will manage a heavy and varied workload
• Enthusiastic and personable; a clear communicator with targets in mind; and,

You will have:
