About the Role

The Upper Room (TUR) supports individuals experiencing homelessness, poverty, social exclusion and involvement with the criminal justice system. Through UR4Meals and UR4Driving we provide practical support, dignity and opportunity to some of the most disadvantaged members of our community in West London. 

We are seeking an experienced Trusts and Grants Manager to take full ownership of and grow our most important income stream.

Trusts and foundations account for over half of our income, and we have an established portfolio of funders alongside several multi-year grants. This role is central to maintaining that income and driving its growth.

This is a hands-on, autonomous role requiring someone who can independently manage a live pipeline, write high-quality applications, and build strong, long-term funder relationships.

  • Build and steward long-term relationships with funders
  • Work closely with service teams to develop clear, evidence-based cases for support

Strategy and Income Growth

  • Contribute to and support delivery of TUR’s fundraising strategy
  • Identify opportunities to increase income and strengthen long-term sustainability
  • Monitor performance against income targets and adjust plans where needed
  • Provide clear and accurate reporting to the CEO and Board

Wider Contribution

  • Contribute to broader fundraising activity where appropriate
  • Represent TUR externally with professionalism and credibility

Person Specification

Essential

  • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, compelling and tailored proposals
  • Strong organisational skills and ability to work independently
  • Confidence engaging with funders and representing an organisation externally
  • Commitment to The Upper Room’s mission and values

Desirable

  • Experience in homelessness, criminal justice or related sectors
  • Knowledge of the London or West London funding landscape
  • Experience contributing to fundraising strategy or income growth
