Fundraising officer jobs near City Of London, England

Around 40% of Beat’s income currently comes from Trusts, Foundations and Statutory sources. We have a well-established Trusts & Statutory function and have succeeded in gaining the support of many well-known funders, such as the National Lottery, Children in Need and Garfield Weston Foundation. This year, we are forecasting to raise just under £2.6m from Trusts & Statutory, so this role is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious candidate to play a really crucial role in securing the income which will enable us to help more people than ever before.

Team description

We have a very experienced Trusts & Statutory Fundraising Manager who oversees the Trusts & Statutory function, including managing a Senior Trusts & Statutory Fundraising Officer who joined in 2020. The Trusts & Statutory Fundraising Team are part of the Partnerships Team, and have ample opportunity to work collaboratively with and learn from teammates specialising in Corporate, Major Donor and Public Sector fundraising.

Beat is experiencing a period of significant development as our services and influence expand and demand for our support rises. This change was underway before the coronavirus changed all our lives, but the pandemic has accelerated everything. Notably, our helpline is supporting three times as many people as pre-pandemic and our funders have responded generously. Meanwhile, our work to improve access to high quality treatment and care is receiving an increasingly positive reception. We therefore find ourselves in the position of needing to rapidly develop new services, campaigns and information – and to find sustainable sources of funding for them.

Role purpose

Maximising income for Beat’s work from trust and statutory sources, by the creation of high-quality applications and reports to funders and by providing excellent account management and cross-team collaboration.

Responsibilities include

Proactively identifying trust and statutory funding sources, researching them for suitability.

Writing high quality applications to trusts and statutory funders.

Providing high quality account management through collecting information for, and writing, reports - maximising income generation and relationship longevity.

Conditions

Beat offers 5.25 weeks of annual leave + bank holidays which increases after 2 years, by a day a year to a maximum of 6 weeks. Additionally Beat provides membership of a Cash Plan Scheme to all employees and offers flexible working.

The Partnerships Team, and the Marketing and Income Generation Directorate of which it is part, are spread across London and the East, South-West, and South-East of England, working mainly from home. The post-holder needs to be able to travel to our London or Norwich office approximately once a month for meetings.

This role is home based with monthly travel to Beat’s Norwich or London office

Join us and help generate income from smaller trusts and foundations. We have an established pipeline, ready for you to take over and, with your help, will be able to grow this income stream in different ways.

This is a full time role, for a small charity that's investing in the future.  We work in a hybrid way - 2 days a week in London. FT for us is 35 hours a week - if you were looking for a 3-4 day week, I am open to discussion, please apply and let me know that's what you're looking for!

For families facing tough times, a holiday is a much-needed break from the day to day, as well as giving space and time to breathe, and think differently.  Families report feeling happier, creating memories and feeling more confident to face the future. With an estimated 2.2m families in the UK unable to access a break, the need is strong. More funding will help us reach more people – obviously – and this is where you come in.

This role is important in helping us share the short- and long-term impact of our work with a network of established funder relationships. We currently secure around £150k per year from these relationships through a series of small gifts. We’re keen to build on this by ensuring we continue to communicate, engage and apply for funds from these existing relationships, while also looking to develop relationships, and build a pipeline and timeline for new applications.

You’ll help us prepare for more ambitious multi-year funding bids, but with the support of a contracted freelancer for some projects. 

You will have experience in successfully applying for income from trusts and grants sources, and in building long term relationships with funders.

This is a full-time role. We work on a hybrid basis – for Family Holiday Charity this means around 2 days of collaborative working in our London office (near Borough – more later in the pack) mixed with home working. 

You’ll have a lot of autonomy and ownership to shape and create this role in line with our strategic ambitions – and in line with yours.

If you’re looking for a fresh challenge, where you can build on an established base rather than having to start from scratch, this could be the role for you!

You may be required to complete a DBS check (at the charity’s expense).  We also run basic searches on social media and through search engines as part of our checking process. 

Please note that we'll be shortlisting as applications come in.  If you need a bit more time to apply please just drop me a note and let me know when you think you'll be able to get your application in.  Likewise, if you want a chat about the role, just send an email and I'll give you a ring.
