• Work in collaboration with the Prospect Researcher to develop a pipeline of new 5-6 figure + Trusts and Foundations prospects able to give within the next 3 years.
• Lead on the bespoke stewardship and engagement of newly identified 5-6 figure + Trusts and Foundations prospects and ensure that submission deadlines are met, and reporting schedules observed.
• Work with the P&TF team to deliver our annual Christmas Appeal – to include the development of the P&TF Christmas Appeal 2025, deliver the annual Christmas Appeal Launch event, and optimize the use of social medial and other platforms to reach potential new funders over the Christmas period and beyond.
• Work with the P&TF team to develop the high value offering for the 100 Anniversary appeal 2026.
• Ensure that resources and budgets are managed effectively and provide Trust and Foundation fundraising financial information as required by the Head of P&TF – including contributing to income risk assessments, identifying gaps or shifts in funding and support contingency planning with the wider P&TF team.

• A strong record of securing and managing major Trust and Foundation partnerships, including six-figure grants.
• Demonstrable experience of building tailored cases for support to a range of funders
• Experience of collaborating with internal teams in the creation of funding proposals and reports.
• Experience engaging with senior stakeholders, including trustees and high-level volunteers.

Role Summary

We require a digital marketing and communications professional to have overall managerial responsibility for CEC’s corporate digital communications channels and support our wider marketing work through leading key distinct audience engagement projects in line with our strategic priorities.

This role requires a blend of strategic oversight and day-to-day execution. You’ll need to be comfortable moving between big-picture planning and hands-on delivery. You will help us translate our organisational strategy into targeted digital engagement across our corporate digital channels (website, social and email) in the most effective and impactful way to a) support hard working system actors (e.g., educators, employers, providers, careers hubs) and b) tell our story as a system and thought leader.
