The role sits in the trading arm of the charity which aims to generate around £1 million per year from the sale of its educational training portfolio.  The role focuses on business development and the post holder will play a major role in ensuring that the department hits its revenue targets, so will require a commercially minded person.

Working with the Head of Commercial Services, you will be responsible for delivering I CAN’s business development and sales activity. This will include gaining excellent product knowledge, generating and cultivating leads, developing proposals and closing deals.

This is a very interesting and varied role. Being part of a small, dynamic team, the post holder will have the opportunity to gain additional experience in a whole range of areas such as product development, process improvement and customer acquisition. Our product portfolio is aimed at the children's workforce, so the role would be particularly suitable for someone who has a passion for children fulfilling their full potential, as well as experience of the purchasing behaviour of schools, children's centres and nurseries.

If this sounds like you, and you want to have a broad ranging role where you get ample opportunity to develop new skills whilst also helping children to find their voice then we would love to hear from you.

We do read cover letters so please submit one demonstrating:

• Ability to learn and take on new challenges

Leatherhead, Surrey

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity enables families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness to make the most of their time together, providing expert, practical and emotional support, where they need it for as long as it is needed. For families living with childhood illness, time is everything. Right now, there are too many families coping alone with no support, no time to think, no time to make memories and no time for each other. We believe that no family should go through this alone, so we are here to change that.

About the role:

We are looking to appoint a Philanthropy Fundraiser who will be responsible for managing and cultivating relationships with high-net-worth individuals and trusts to deliver income targets in line with our strategy and operational plans.

Reporting to the Philanthropy Manager, you will drive Rainbow Trust’s Major Funder programme, building and developing the donor pipeline through effective networking, prospecting, cultivation and stewardship to increase income and grow the supporter base. You will also write compelling communications to existing and prospective major donors and funders, including applications and funder reports, and maintain accurate donor plans and records.

Having previous experience of the research mechanisms for identifying prospective funders and high net worth individuals, you will provide detailed high-quality research and engagement plans for new prospects and will work on and lead project teams to generate and develop ideas into compelling funding applications and proposals.

What we’re looking for:

• A motivating, empathetic and persuasive communicator – you have clear and creative writing skills, are skilled at writing funding proposals and communicate confidently in person and over the phone. An ability to empathise with donors and communicate effectively about our work with children and families, and our strategy, is key.
• Friendly, enthusiastic and socially-focused – you quickly connect with others and build effective working relationships.
• People-oriented and outgoing – you are naturally warm with a sincere appreciation for people and how they are each uniquely motivated.
• Knowledge of the principles that underpin good customer care, and competent in charity law as it applies to fundraising – you adhere to established guidelines, policies and procedures, and provide outstanding stewardship.
• You thrive working at a faster-than-average pace on multiple priorities simultaneously – results-oriented and a fast learner, you respond quickly to pressure and a changing environment.
• Confident use of MSOffice and experience of using a CRM database – you have strong attention to detail, are comfortable working with data, and produce high quality accurate work.
• Applications will be particularly welcome from those who have experience of working for a fundraising charity – working with high-net-worth individuals and/or trusts and foundations, and managing volunteers.

What we offer:

We have a range of fantastic benefits that we offer our employees. If you’d like to find out more about these benefits and working with us, click here. More information can also be found in our Candidate Pack.
