Are you a proactive, organised and collaborative individual, with excellent written and communication skills and a desire to end homelessness?
About the role
We are looking for a motivated and hardworking individual to take on the role of Trust Fundraising Officer. In this role, you will develop strong and effective funding proposals and manage a varied portfolio of trust and grant funders giving up to £10,000 per year. We are looking for someone with a love of writing, who can build face-to-face relationships with funders and with colleagues from across the organisation.
The role is perfect for someone looking to develop their fundraising skills, or for someone new to the sector. You will join a supportive team of four trusts and grants fundraisers, who are responsible for raising £1.9 million in 2022-23.
This is a fantastic time to join St Mungo’s as we look to grow our services, change the homelessness landscape throughout England and support ever more people to rebuild their lives. In this role you will:
- Personally manage a portfolio of small to medium trusts and grant funders
- Develop compelling funding proposals, reports and stewardship opportunities
- Work with your fellow Trusts and Grants team members to contribute to research and identify new funding opportunities
- Collaborate with colleagues within Fundraising and across the organisation to identify new funding opportunities and contribute to cross-Philanthropy initiatives
About you
We are looking for a proactive, driven and collaborative individual to join our Trusts and Grants Team of four. You will be someone with excellent writing skills, who enjoys building strong relationships with both colleagues and external stakeholders. You will need to be able to write compelling funding proposals and manage a varied workload with competing priorities.
We welcome applications from people with transferrable skills wanting a first step in the charity sector, or those wanting to take the next step in their fundraising career. We will support you to develop the skills needed to secure vital income to positively impact the lives of people experiencing homelessness.
We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) applicants, as they are under-represented within St Mungo’s within the Fundraising directorate.
