This is an interesting time to join the team as a new RSPB Strategy 2030 has just been launched. As the UK’s largest nature conservation charity, we spend £100m/year in pursuit of our vision – a world richer in nature and grant income plays an important part within that.

This one year role can be flexibly based within the UK and can be available as a secondment opportunity to existing members of staff. Travel to UKHQ/London (or project sites) may be required for key pieces of work and team liaison, remote technology will be used as appropriate.

Grant funding is an important income stream for the RSPB and we are ideally looking for people who have experience in developing and writing high value grant funded projects as well as working in partnership. We are particularly looking for fundraisers with knowledge and experience of working with a variety of National Lottery, Landfill Communities Fund and Statutory funding streams. We are also looking for people with good transferrable skills in project development.

What’s the role about?

The main purpose of the role is to manage high-level grant relationship building, identify grant funding opportunities, lead applications and coordination of the funding process for RSPB-wide applications in order to drive significant grant income.

The successful candidate will need to be well organised, imaginative and resourceful with a good eye for detail. They should also have excellent interpersonal skills, a disciplined approach to project management, leadership qualities and a proven ability to work as part of a team which includes close collaboration with UKHQ and UK country colleagues. Externally you will engage with UK level or pan-UK grant-making bodies and other institutional funders and decision makers.

This role is very varied. One day you could be helping develop work from a wide variety of areas under the priority programmes and getting it funder ready. On other days, you could be leading the writing and submission of a six or seven figure UK wide funding bid and the next, liaising with fundraising colleagues based in the UK countries on best practice around funder communications and advocacy.

Other typical activities may include:

• Contribute to and assist in the development of funding proposals by working with other departments on new initiatives and specific projects to anticipate how they may be fundable in future
• Support the writing of grant funding bids in other parts of the RSPB to achieve more successful applications
• Cultivating and maintaining relationships with major grant funders
• Helping decide which projects are prioritised to maximise the funding opportunities available
• Developing and maintaining external partnerships
• Providing advice for UK country and UKHQ colleagues around different funding streams

Essential skills, knowledge and experience:

• Educated to a degree level or equivalent experience working with grant making bodies
• Thorough in-depth understanding of UK grant-funding, funder motivations and longer-term implications of funding packages and commitments
• Thorough knowledge of UK grant making regulatory systems
• Writing successful and high-quality bids for grant makers
• Working to fixed deadlines with numerous colleagues and collaborators
• Attention to detail
• Ability to work independently or part of a team
• A strong internal advocate capable of working with senior external people
• Proven project budgetary skills
