Grade: 5

Hours: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week; flexible working considered

Position type: Permanent

Responsible to: Trust & Foundations Manager

Direct reports: None

Location: Truro, Cornwall (Hybrid) or Remote (UK based) with some travel to Truro

ROLE PURPOSE:

Join ShelterBox's high-performing Philanthropy & Partnerships team in a role that is all about ambition, collaboration and impact. As Trusts and Foundations Officer, you'll be at the forefront of supporting and growing ShelterBox's trusts and foundation partnerships - helping the team to build and nurture relationships, inspiring long-term support and sustainable income in line with the organisational strategy, helping to deliver more emergency shelter for families whose lives have been devastated by disaster.

With a loyal and varied portfolio of partners, including family and corporate foundations, this role is your opportunity to support the Trusts and Foundations Manager and Senior Philanthropy Manager to grow ShelterBox's trust and foundation income. You'll research new prospects, draft proposals and reports, ensure due diligence and help to grow our pipeline of prospects, turning creative ideas into long-term, multi-faceted partnerships that drive real change.

You'll work with the Trusts and Foundations Manager to help steward existing relationships, so partners feel valued, engaged and inspired to continue supporting ShelterBox's lifesaving work. You'll also identify new opportunities, drafting and supporting proposals which help ShelterBox stand out from the crowd.

You'll report directly to the Trusts and Foundations Manager, collaborate with the wider Philanthropy & Partnerships team and be backed by colleagues across the organisation. Together, you'll maximise opportunities which deliver powerful partnerships and help shape the future of trusts and foundation partnerships at ShelterBox.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual with a commitment to team working. You must have experience producing impactful content for different audiences and strong writing skills which help proposals leap from the page. We are seeking an excellent communicator with great attention to detail, proactive and diligent. You will play a key role in building strong relationships, including managing a portfolio of smaller trusts and supporting the wider trusts team with high-value funders.

You must have strong research skills, excellent organisational ability, with experience in using a CRM or other digital platforms to manage workflow. You should also enjoy copywriting, crafting proposals and creating updates for our partners.

This position is for someone looking for a role where their research and writing skills can make a difference. It is a perfect opportunity for an enthusiastic and articulate Trust Fundraiser who wants to play a pivotal part in helping communities around the world rebuild after a disaster.

DUTIES WILL INCLUDE BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO:

  • Manage a portfolio of Trust and Foundations that have an income less than £100,000.
  • Provide tailored stewardship to donors in the portfolio, including special thanks, proposals, reports, and relevant materials.
  • Design, write, and deliver persuasive, creative, and tailored funding applications that inspire investment in ShelterBox's work.
  • Coordinate with programme, finance, communications, and impact colleagues to gather accurate project information, budgets, and stories that strengthen proposals.
  • Support the Trusts and Foundations Manager and Senior Philanthropy Manager with high value proposals, helping to collate due diligence, assist with copywriting and proposal design.
  • Assist the Trusts and Foundations Manager and Senior Philanthropy Manager with reporting to high value funders, supporting with research, copy and design.
  • Contribute to the development of the trusts and foundations pipeline, researching and identifying new prospects and undertaking due diligence.
  • Establish strong working relationships with colleagues across ShelterBox and within the global affiliate network to maximise opportunities and share learning.
  • Represent ShelterBox at Philanthropy events, across the UK
  • Uphold ShelterBox's values, safeguarding principles, and fundraising best practice in all interactions and written materials.
  • Responsible for maintaining accurate records, tracking deadlines, and ensuring all funder communications and submissions are logged in line with internal processes.
  • Any other duties as required which are deemed appropriate to the level and grade of the post.
