Philanthropy jobs
Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice helps babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell, and their families, make the most of every day. The charity aspires to become a centre of clinical excellence for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
We’ve been on a major upward trajectory in recent years, with more children being supported, more major hospitals being partnered with and more supporters donating. We’ve transformed from being an enthusiastic start-up delivering care in the community, to a serious player delivering major impact both in the community and at our state-of-the-art hospice building, The Ark, opened in 2019.
Philanthropy, which covers Grants, Trusts & Foundations and Major Donor fundraising streams, is pivotal to Noah’s Ark, typically accounting for around 50% of the charity’s voluntary income. This is an area of real expertise for Noah’s Ark, with much scope for further refining. The successful candidate will therefore be instrumental in taking this key income stream forward, add to an exciting portfolio and gain further training and support, working as part of a high-performing and super supportive team, ready for its next development phase.
The Grants, Trusts & Foundations Manager will work closely with and report to the Head of Philanthropy to develop the Trust pipeline, along with instrumental cross-team work on applications and reporting processes for other income streams. Whilst we work towards developing a more diverse funding model and navigate changes to the external Trust environment, sustaining and growing income from Trusts will remain vital.
The post-holder will manage a Philanthropy Officer (Trusts & Major Donors) and, together, they will be instrumental in taking the Trust programme to the next level, establishing lasting relationships with funders, securing new grants, increasing multi-year gifts and improving both quality and volume of applications and reports. They will also support the Philanthropy Officer, and the wider team, to the same end with their respective portfolios.
ABOUT YOU
You will be a highly organised, dedicated and reliable individual ready to play a significant role in income generation. An exceptional and eloquent communicator, excellent at managing your time and a natural relationship builder. You will have a collaborative mindset, and be willing to engage with colleagues across the fundraising team and wider charity to create the greatest outcomes for the children and families we support.
You will have considerable experience fundraising from grant makers and will be able to demonstrate your success with securing high value gifts and building meaningful relationships. You will have confidence in your ability to make an impact through collaborative lateral thinking. You will also support other team members with their applications, as well as acting as a key liaison with our Care team to obtain latest information about service delivery.
If you have ample experience of fundraising from Trusts, have achieved outstanding success in a short period of time or have held a key position within a Trust programme, including securing numerous significant – ideally six-figure – grants, we would love you to apply.

About Hatch
Hatch Enterprise is an award-winning charity that exists to level the playing field in entrepreneurship. Our beneficiaries build businesses that tackle some of society's most vital challenges through social enterprise, addressing a wide range of socioeconomic problems, from homelessness to community cohesion, healthcare and climate change.
We recognise that talent is distributed equally, but opportunities are not. Too many people with ideas and ambition never get the chance to turn them into thriving businesses that create lasting social change. That’s why we’re on a mission to nurture innovation across the UK’s diverse society, to build a fairer, more sustainable economy that works for everyone.
We are a team of 20 passionate changemakers, working alongside underrepresented founders across the UK to help them imagine, launch and grow sustainable businesses, community interest companies and charities. Our work is rooted in belief in human potential, practical support and deep connection to the communities we serve.
In early 2026, Hatch will launch its first three-year fundraising campaign - a defining moment that will allow us to back more innovators, push boundaries and create lasting social, environmental and economic change both for those we support, and the people they serve through their ventures.This role sits right at the heart of that ambition
The role
This maternity cover role offers a meaningful opportunity to help secure the funding that makes our work possible at a pivotal point in Hatch’s journey.
Reporting to the Director of Fundraising & Engagement, you will lead the delivery of Trusts & Foundations, Statutory and Major Donor fundraising, while managing our inspiring partners, you will build new income pipelines aligned to Hatch’s pioneering programmes. You will also support the launch and early delivery of our three-year fundraising campaign.
Alongside hands-on fundraising, you will line manage, mentor and develop the Fundraising Manager, helping to build confidence, capability and strong, future-focused fundraising practice.
What you’ll be doing
-
Securing transformational funding from Trusts & Foundations, Statutory and Major donors, enabling more underrepresented founders to turn ideas into sustainable businesses.
-
Building and stewarding a strong pipeline of opportunity, ensuring Hatch can grow its reach and respond to demand with confidence.
-

-

-
Helping launch and build momentum for Hatch’s first three-year fundraising campaign, a pivotal moment in scaling our impact.
-

About you
You are someone who believes deeply in fair access to opportunity and understands the power of funding to unlock long-term change.
You may be motivated by seeing ideas become reality, by helping others succeed, or by building partnerships that genuinely matter. You bring care and intention to your relationships, and you want funders to feel proud of the impact their support enables.
You’ll bring experience securing six figure gifts within the charity or not-for-profit sector, alongside strong proposal writing and relationship-building skills. Just as importantly, you are thoughtful, collaborative and committed to doing fundraising in a way that is ethical, inclusive and values-led.
You enjoy mentoring others, sharing knowledge and building confidence. You’re organised and proactive, but also reflective, keen to learn, improve and adapt in a fast-moving environment.
If you’re excited by the chance to contribute your skills to work that creates real opportunity for people too often excluded, this role could be for you.
We warmly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the barriers our founders face. If you are excited by this role and our mission, but do not meet every requirement listed, we encourage you to apply – we value potential, perspective and a willingness to grow as much as experience.

2) Please share a funder you believe Hatch should prioritise approaching, and why? Please reflect on how our mission aligns with their values, and how your experience would help turn that alignment into a successful funding partnership.
