Trusts & Foundations Fundraiser
Be part of a small, ambitious charity transforming cleft care in the UK and around the world.
Use your trusts and foundations expertise to unlock funding that directly changes lives.
At CLEFT, we are building long term, sustainable solutions for people born with cleft lip and palate. We fund pioneering research in the UK and work hand in hand with healthcare teams globally to create lasting, high quality cleft services. Every grant secured helps improve treatment, train clinicians and ensure people can access care for life.
This is a pivotal role at an exciting stage in our growth. As our Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser, you will take ownership of a portfolio of funders, developing strong relationships and securing income that directly supports our work. You will join a small, committed team where your ideas are valued and your impact is visible from day one.
We are looking for someone who already understands grant fundraising and can work with confidence and independence. You will be trusted to manage your own pipeline, write compelling applications and reports, and proactively seek new opportunities. In return, you will have the flexibility to shape your work, contribute to wider fundraising plans and grow alongside the organisation.
This role offers the chance to:
- Play a central role in a mission driven charity with global reach
- Build meaningful relationships with funders who care about long term impact
- Work remotely or in a way that suits you, with flexibility built in
- See the direct results of your work in improved care and outcomes
If you are motivated by purpose, thrive on ownership, and want your fundraising skills to make a tangible difference, we would love to hear from you.
Applications should include a CV and a covering letter of no more than two pages. Your covering letter is an important part of your application. It should clearly explain your motivation for applying to CLEFT and demonstrate how your experience meets the person specification.
Please ensure the covering letter is written in your own words, as it will be used to assess your communication style and personal interest in the role.
We aim to provide long-term, sustainable ways to bridge the gap in cleft care and knowledge in the UK and overseas.
