About the role

The focus of this role is to develop and grow income from corporate partnerships, helping us build on our award-winning approach to this area of fundraising.

This will involve working closely with our Development Manager to ensure excellent stewardship of existing partners, helping us to develop long term strategic partnerships tailored to a company’s CSR or ESG objectives. You will also help with the planning and delivery of an exciting volunteering programme geared around hands-on habitat creation and management work in the Yorkshire Dales, Nidderdale and Forest of Bowland.

To support our growth plans, you'll play an important role in our business development activity, helping to increase corporate income. This will involve prospect research, helping with the planning and delivery of corporate engagement events and cultivating opportunities for additional funding from existing partners.

We offer a working environment where everyone is valued and empowered to make a difference. As a member of a relatively small and supportive team, there will be plenty of opportunity for you to expand your skills, supporting our wider fundraising efforts and project delivery work.  

About you

We’re looking for a self-motivated, organised and creative fundraiser or sales person with proven experience in relationship management.

You will have excellent people skills and an ability to develop strong relationships with corporate partners as well as colleagues and supporters. You will also have good written skills, with experience of creating compelling and engaging communications that inspire and engage your target audience.

Delivering exceptional volunteering events is key to the success of our corporate partnerships, so experience in the planning and execution of engaging in person events will be of real value.

A key part of the role will be to support our business development activity, which will require strong research skills and an ability to identify prospects that share our passion for delivering positive social and environmental impact. Experience using a CRM system to cultivate new business will be a key asset in this role.

Underpinning all of this is your ability to work within our culture – which means sharing our values of being creative, caring, honest and enabling.

The deadline for applications is 11.59pm, Sunday 4th Janaury 2026.

Interviews will take place w/c 12th Janauary 2026.
