The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Who are we?
Orchards is a Christian charity with a vision to see women free from sexual exploitation and empowered for flourishing, independent lives. We build trusting relationships with each woman and enable her to access support for lasting recovery through our main areas:
- transitional safe housing
- specialist trauma counselling
- tailored life and work skills mentoring
- the offer of local church life for community, care, and exploring faith for herself if she chooses.
We are in an exciting time of growth as we continue to operate across three sites: South London, East London and East Sussex and prepare to open our fourth safe property. We have an opportunity for someone to join our team and manage our trusts and grants fundraising as we prepare to reach more women over the coming years.
We have a Genuine Occupational Requirement that our staff members hold a Christian faith (see below for further details). You should be comfortable bringing faith conversations and prayer into your work as appropriate, as well as participating in times of prayer with the wider Orchards team. We request that all staff commit to and uphold our ethos.
Growing our income generation
We are currently recruiting for two roles in our fundraising team. Our other role is Communications and Fundraising Officer and is focused on supporter care. Both of these roles are part time. We have written them separately as we believe that typically these are two different skill sets within the fundraising space.
However, if you believe that you have strength in both areas, we'd love to hear from you. We are very open to discussing combining the roles into one full time role. A combined role would involve hybrid working including travel to our London and Brighton sites and candidates would need to be comfortable in having a broad generalist role. Both skill sets would be tested at interview. If you would like to be considered for the combined role, please specify this in your cover letter.
More homeworking options are available for the Grants and Trusts role than for the Communications and Fundraising role.
Purpose of the role
Our work is growing quickly, so it's an exciting time to join our small but brilliant team. If you are an experienced Fundraiser with a strong track record of success with trusts and grants, are enthusiastic about church-led social action, passionate about tackling sexual exploitation, and have a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, we would love to hear from you.
The ideal candidate would be a strong bid writer with experience in raising funds through grants and trusts (both Christian and secular) and statutory funding.
We have a clear fundraising strategy, a good track record with trusts and grants, existing relationships with funders, a pipeline already in place and plenty of content to draw from - so you will have a solid foundation to enable you to hit the ground running. We’d also love to benefit from your expertise, so you will be working with our Directors very closely, sharing ideas, reviewing strategy and developing and delivering new ideas and initiatives.
The purpose of this new role is to:
- Nurture our relationships with existing grant funders
- Generate new grants and trusts leads through quarterly prospecting
- Increase our grants and trusts income through bid writing
Your cover letter should include:
- An overview of your relevant experience and skills
- Why you are interested in working for Orchards specifically
- Reference to your Christian faith and how you might live out the Orchards ethos in practice
About you
Do you want to use your skills to make it possible for people with myeloma, an incurable blood cancer, to live longer and better lives?
Myeloma UK is looking for a motivated and highly pro-active Trusts and Grants Officer to join our Philanthropy team within the wider Fundraising directorate. We welcome applications from people with prior experience or transferable skills who want to explore trusts and grants fundraising and/or fundraising within the health sector. The successful candidate will have a passion for writing, excellent organisational, presentation, communication and record-keeping skills, with an ability to understand and interpret financial data. The post holder will need to be self-motivated and a team player, with flexibility and a willingness to develop and expand the role. In this exciting position, you’ll have the opportunity to draft compelling proposals, identify and cultivate relationships with grant making organisations, and secure gifts ranging from £100 to £10,000.
Experience of fundraising from charitable trusts and foundations, building project budgets and the use of the Raisers Edge CRM system as well as knowledge of prospective funders within the trust and foundation and corporate sectors would be advantageous, but not essential.
About the role
Myeloma UK has an ambitious plan for income growth. We launched a new organisational strategy in 2024 and will launch our new research strategy in mid-2025. We’re making amazing progress in the research and treatment of myeloma – but we need to go further, faster. This position will play a critical role securing grants of up to £10K from trusts, foundations, and grant funders for a range of innovative and life-changing programmes – including patient and family support, research and advocacy. The role will work closely with the Senior Trusts and Grants Officer, who leads on the medium and large grants programme, and income from pharmaceutical partners.
The post holder will deliver the grant process from start-to-finish including administration, research, and managing and growing a pipeline of small trusts. You will work with colleagues from across the charity to build high quality proposals and develop reports for funders. You will also work directly with funders to understand their priorities and offer excellent stewardship.
About us
At Myeloma UK, we are making it possible to live longer and better lives with myeloma. Through research and treatments, we find new ways to a cure. As the only UK charity focused exclusively on myeloma and related conditions, we have transformed treatment and care over the past 25 years, helping quadruple life expectancy for many patients. But we need to go further, faster – because people with myeloma can’t wait. We are uniquely placed as an organisation to improve the lives of people affected by myeloma by investing in innovative, life-changing research, advocating for patients to get access to new treatments on the NHS, and providing free information and support services to patients and their families.
We are at a pivotal moment in our journey. Our new strategy, developed in collaboration with the myeloma community, alongside clinical, research, and policy leaders, focuses on three core areas: preventing myeloma, treating myeloma, and living well with myeloma. In the first year of this strategy, we have already made significant impacts: convening global leaders in early-stage myeloma to investigate prevention, securing the provision of three next-generation treatments on the NHS, and launching the Myeloma UK Survivorship grant to fund research into improving patients’ quality of life. But there is more work and achievement to come. Join us on our journey!
