Fundraising officer jobs near Westminster, Greater London

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

The projects you’ll most likely be fundraising for are:

Adult residential care for people with learning disabilities – we have 17 homes around London, as well as a residential village, Ravenswood in Berkshire, where we have another 19.

Support the rest of the team – to gain experience, you’ll support other members of the team in their work, whether that’s gathering information for an application, proof-reading a report, or helping with a service visit. In particular, you’ll support on bids over £5,000 to prepare you for either promotion or your next role.

Building and maintaining team processes – we all help with this, whether it’s improving our Raiser’s Edge dashboard, taking minutes at the team meeting, or creating a new template to help project staff with case study gathering. This project work adds variety, and we’re always open to new ideas.

Essential

Strong writing skills

Strong research skills

Proficiency in using Word, Excel, Outlook and video calling, e.g. scheduling a meeting, holding a Zoom/Teams meeting

We’re here for the cure. Everything we do is to move us closer to that goal.

Curing Parkinson’s needs world-class collaborative science involving researchers, clinicians, the pharmaceutical industry and, most importantly, people who are living with Parkinson’s. This collaboration is at the heart of our research programme.

Our leadership and funding enables the world’s leading neuroscientists and neurologists to prioritise, together, the next generation of drugs for clinical trial.

With an ambitious plan to increase Community and Events income, this is an exciting time to join Cure Parkinson’s. This is a genuine opportunity for a self-motivated, experienced and enthusiastic Community and Events fundraiser to develop and make their mark as part of this innovative and dynamic charity.

The Senior Events Fundraising Officer role will be responsible for project managing some of our flagship challenge events, including the ‘Raid’ cycling series, and increasing the level of community support and income through the pro-active engagement with and excellent stewardship of high net worth individuals, community groups, committees, companies and supporters from the Parkinson’s community across the UK.

You will be an active networker and be able to spot opportunities to raise funds and maximise income growth through supporter led and event fundraising.

You will have demonstrable success in community and/or challenge events fundraising, a solid understanding of supporter led fundraising and Facebook challenges, as well as a passionate and proactive approach to develop fundraising leads that deliver results.

This role is strongly focused on bringing in new community and challenge events, and will suit an outgoing, positive and professional fundraiser who is used to working on their own initiative and wants to develop their knowledge and experience.

The Senior Events Fundraising Officer will report to the Head of Public Fundraising and work within the Events and Community team alongside another Senior Events Fundraising Officer and an Events Fundraising Executive.
