Together Active is looking for their first in-house fundraising specialist. This is a unique opportunity for a thoughtful, creative and strategic Fundraising and Partnerships Lead to help shape and grow a portfolio that protects their independence and powers their long-term mission: designing out inactivity across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, by shifting the systems that shape people's lives.

If you are committed to social justice and love the challenge of translating complex, systems-focused work into clear, compelling fundraising propositions, then this one is definitely for you!

Salary: £35-40k, dependent on experience
Location: Hybrid - flexible culture, currently 2 days per week onsite in Stafford (Tues/Thurs)
Contract: Full-time (35 hours), part-time considered
Benefits: Brilliant package that speaks volumes about organisational culture… check out a fuller list below

About Together Active

Together Active is a charity working across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to make movement possible for everyone - especially where poverty, discrimination and poor health have made it most difficult. They don't run activities directly; instead, they work across systems, bringing people together, strengthening capacity, amplifying lived experience and ultimately influencing decision-makers.

About the Role

This is a strategic, relationship-led fundraising role where your work will directly strengthen organisational independence. It's all about diversifying income streams and helping to futureproof for a resilient, sustainable the long-term.

What makes this role particularly exciting is the blank canvas. You'll be building largely from scratch across trusts, corporates and individuals, with a clear and realistic remit for diversification. Together Active understands this won't happen overnight and you'll be given freedom and autonomy to do things your own way, with a rewarding mix of strategic thinking and operational, hands-on delivery.

Your first priority will be to craft a compelling case for support, before mapping the funding landscape, shaping a strategy and then engaging new funders in Together Active's long-term vision.

We'd absolutely love to hear from you if you bring:

• Experience building relationships with funders, partners or collaborators from scratch
• Comfortable and capable working across multiple stakeholders, priorities and systems
• Ability to translate complex or systems-based work into clear, credible fundraising narratives
• Strategic thinking, but also enjoy rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in
• Strong judgement about how and when to pursue an opportunity and make the ask
• Collaborative, curious mindset and a strong commitment to social justice

You'll be working across multiple income streams as the organisation's sole fundraiser, but there is significant growth and development potential down the line.

Experience in trusts/foundations, corporate partnerships, philanthropy or community organising are all relevant and welcome - no single background is necessarily 'the right one', so please don't rule yourself out without a conversation.

How Together Active Values You

• 27.5 days annual leave + bank holidays (rising with service)
• Three additional leave days over Christmas
• Up to 8% employer pension contribution
• Cycle to work scheme
• Health plan subscription
• Counselling access
• Volunteer day
• Annual CPD allowance + extensive online learning resources
• Flexible, trust-based working
• A culture where curiosity, challenge and care are genuinely welcomed

How to Apply

Please send a copy of your CV or profile to Amelia Lee at Charity People as the first step.

If your experience aligns with what we're looking for, we'll share full details on how to complete your formal application.

Deadline: 9am on Thursday 16th April
