Are you an ambitious, hands-on fundraiser who wants to make a tangible difference to retired racing greyhounds ?

Greyhound Trust is looking for its first-ever Individual Giving Manager; a pivotal role in our growing Income Generation & Engagement team. This is a chance to shape, grow, and lead our individual giving programme from the ground up, helping us care for and home more greyhounds across the UK.

About the Greyhound Trust

For nearly 50 years, the Greyhound Trust has supported greyhounds transitioning from racing into loving homes where they can thrive. Each year, with an annual income of around £4.5m, we home thousands of dogs, relying on a passionate network of staff, branches, and volunteers.

The world is changing, and so is the way people engage with causes they care about. We are now looking to grow and diversify our individual giving, building long-term relationships with supporters who share our commitment to the welfare of greyhounds. This is your chance to play a key role in shaping our strategy, delivering creative campaigns, and helping secure the financial foundation for the Trust’s future.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Income Generation and Engagement, you will be responsible for:

• Creating, delivering, and evaluating a long-term Individual Giving strategy.

• Building a diverse and sustainable portfolio of individual giving income streams, including regular giving, appeals, digital fundraising, mid-level giving, and legacy gifts.

• Supporting branches and volunteers in delivering individual giving initiatives.

• Developing supporter journeys that encourage loyalty, growth, and long-term engagement.

This is a hands-on, strategic role that will allow you to take ownership of your programme while collaborating across the Trust to deliver impactful campaigns and initiatives.

Is this role right for you?

This role will suit you if you are an ambitious, hands-on fundraiser who thrives in a small, collaborative teamwhere everyone is invested in the success of the whole organisation. You enjoy taking ownership, sharing ideas, and seeing things through to delivery, and you value open communication, mutual support, and a culture where colleagues are trusted to innovate and experiment.

You are likely to thrive if you enjoy balancing independent responsibility with teamwork, and if you are motivated by making a tangible difference rather than simply delivering outputs. You are curious, thoughtful, and practical, and you are happy to contribute beyond your immediate remit to help the organisation succeed.

If you are looking for a role where collaboration, accountability, and purpose genuinely shape the way the organisation works day to day — and where your work will have a visible impact on the lives of greyhounds and the supporters who make that possible — this could be a very good fit.

Why join us?

• Be part of a compact, passionate, and close-knit team.

• Lead the development of a dedicated individual giving programme.

• Work in a medium-sized, agile charity with a strong sense of purpose and financial stability.

• Play a key role in growing support and enabling more greyhounds to be cared for and homed across the UK.

Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will prevent, treat and cure eye disease. The partnerships we build and initiatives we support are changing life for blind and vision impaired people.

Reporting to the Head of Supporter Development, you will lead the development and delivery of the legacy and in-memory giving strategy, delivering thoughtful, inspiring campaigns that celebrate the impact of legacy and in-memory giving.

Contract: Full-time, permanent

Are you a people-centred Community Fundraiser who thrives on building meaningful relationships in local communities?

We’re working with a well-established UK charity seeking a Community Fundraising Manager to grow income and deepen connections across two key regions. This is a hands-on, outward-facing role for someone who enjoys inspiring supporters, working collaboratively, and turning community enthusiasm into long-term impact.

The role

This role brings together community fundraising, supporter engagement and regional relationship management. As a Community Fundraising Manager you'll work closely with individuals, volunteer fundraisers, community groups and local businesses, helping them feel confident, valued and motivated to support the charity’s work.

While the Community Fundraising Manager will be aligned to either North London or Bristol as a primary base, the focus is very much on community presence, partnership building and stewardship, rather than being office-bound.

Key elements of the role include:

• Developing and growing a portfolio of community and local corporate supporters
• Supporting and motivating volunteer fundraisers, providing excellent stewardship throughout their journey
• Identifying new opportunities within local communities, networks and organisations
• Delivering and supporting a programme of community-led fundraising activity and events
• Building long-term relationships that encourage repeat support and advocacy
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to share insight, ideas and best practice

This role would suit someone who is confident, empathetic and highly organised, with a genuine belief in the power of community.

You’ll likely bring:

• Experience in community, regional or relationship-based fundraising
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences
• A proactive and creative approach to generating and developing fundraising opportunities
• Confidence managing multiple relationships and priorities at once
• Experience using a CRM or fundraising database
• A flexible approach, with occasional out-of-hours or event work

What’s on offer

• Salary of £40,000 per annum
• Hybrid working with two days per week in the office
• Choice of North London or Bristol as your main base
• A supportive, values-led working culture
• The opportunity to play a visible role in strengthening community engagement and supporter relationships

This is a challenging, exciting and rewarding role for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and pro-active fundraising professional with a strong background in community engagement and communications. You will continue building the public profile of St Petrock’s and be responsible for generating the income needed to run and further develop our vital and life-saving services.

About the role:  You will be creative, self-motivated, conscientious and energetic, and have superb interpersonal and communication skills to engage effectively with a wide range of people and build the supporter base of St Petrock’s. You will have strong project and event management skills to lead on major fundraising campaigns and events such as our annual Christmas fundraising video campaign, the Big Night Out sponsored sleepout, and the Big Night In fundraising dinner, along with the imagination and drive to develop a full programme of public fundraising challenges and events. You will also have the knowledge and drive to develop legacy giving and major donor programmes and, supported by the Fundraising and Communications Officer, will be responsible for our social media platforms, website, media relations, and other external communications.

You will be primarily based at the St Petrock’s homelessness centre, with the opportunity for some hybrid working (at home or at local co-working venue). Given the nature of the role, it is essential that you have a suitably insured vehicle and are able to attend meetings and events outside normal working hours to share about St Petrock’s as needed.
