Are you a skilled relationship-builder with corporate fundraising experience? Do you love spending time in the outdoors and want to help young people from Somerset? Join the Youth Adventure Trust's small but mighty team and use your skills to help transform the lives of vulnerable young people.

The Role

Having launched our Youth Adventure Programmes in Somerset in 2024, we are now looking for somebody who wants to take the next step in their fundraising career to build on the foundations of the last two years and significantly increase our presence in the county. 

As our Regional Corporate Fundraiser,  you'll be the driving force behind our local business partnerships, working with both large companies operating in the region and smaller local businesses looking to support their communities. 

Your role will encompass:

• Relationship building: Identifying and securing new corporate partnerships while providing high-quality stewardship to our existing Somerset-based supporters.

• Community Engagement: Championing our work in Somerset by giving engaging talks to community groups and networking with local businesses.

• Event delivery: Playing a key role in delivering local fundraising challenge events, the bi-annual Somerset Adventure Dinner and developing new opportunities to unite the Somerset business community behind our mission.

You'll work closely with the Corporate Partnership Manager and the Director of Fundraising and Communications to ensure each proposal is bespoke and every corporate partner understands the impact of their support on local young people.  You must live in Somerset, have a good local awareness and be willing to travel around the county and beyond to nurture long-lasting, strategic relationships.

About You

We are looking for a people-person, who is self-motivated and highly organised. You are as comfortable in the board room engaging business leaders as  you are standing on a mountain side in your waterproofs! You will be:

• Experienced: A proven track record in building successful corporate partnerships and achieving income targets;

• A relationship fundraiser: building long-lasting meaningful relationships should be at the heart of every single corporate partnership;

• An inspiring communicator:  You will be telling our story in a variety of different ways to inspire support and grow our networks;

• Self-motivated:  You are comfortable working from home but eager to be ‘out and about’ in the business community;

• Pro-active and creative: No corporate partnership is the same, so you will be proactive in understanding a corporate partner’s motivation and coming up with creative ideas to build successful relationships;

• Local: You must live in or near Somerset to maximise local networking opportunities, attend regular in-person meetings and events  and confidently talk about local issues facing both businesses and the young people we support through our programmes;

• Outdoorsy: A genuine love for the outdoors, comfortable in wellies and waterproofs with an understanding of 'the power of the outdoors'.

The Charity

At the Youth Adventure Trust, we use outdoor adventure to empower vulnerable young people from Swindon, Wiltshire and Somerset to fulfil their potential and lead positive lives in the future. We work with them to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills that will last a lifetime, helping them to face the challenges in their lives. Dedicated support, guidance and mentoring from our staff and volunteers ensures young people receive the maximum benefit from our long-term intervention. Our aim is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of vulnerable young people. All our services are provided completely free of charge to the young people who are nominated by schools and other youth organisations to take part.

We’re proud to offer our programmes completely free of charge to participants which means the fundraising team is crucial. With ambitious plans to help more young people from Somerset over the coming years, our Regional Corporate Fundraiser role is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference for local young people.  Whilst you will have the flexibility of a 21-hours-per-week role, this could increase as more corporate partnerships are secured. You’ll be part of a small fundraising team with a big heart, with plenty of opportunities to visit our programmes and see the tangible impact of your work. 

Safer Recruitment

The Youth Adventure Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and requires all employees to share this commitment.

We’re looking for a passionate, insight‑driven leader to join Willen Hospice as our Supporter Growth & Insight Manager. This is a brand‑new, high‑impact role leading our emerging Supporter Connection Hub - a future‑focused model that brings together data, CRM, digital journeys and supporter care to deliver unforgettable experiences and long‑term value.

As a key member of the Income Generation leadership team, you’ll be helping create sustainable income growth that ensures Willen Hospice care continues for all those who need it, now and in the future.

If you’re excited by the idea of shaping how thousands of people connect with our cause, and you thrive at the intersection of strategy, insight and human empathy, then this could be your next big step.

What you’ll do:

✅ Lead the Supporter Connection hub, driving a supporter-first culture across the hospice to deliver joined-up “one Willen” supporter experiences and outstanding stewardship. 

✅ Set and embed segmentation, journey architecture and stewardship standards that drive retention and lifetime value.

✅ Use data, insight and CRM automation to scale personalised supporter engagement and free capacity for deeper human relationships.

✅ Drive performance across supporter journeys, using dashboards, KPIs and next‑best‑action logic to inform decisions.

✅ Champion innovation and continuous improvement, exploring new technologies and approaches to elevate supporter engagement.

✅ Work collaboratively with other leaders to shape and deliver the Hospice Strategic Plan.

We’re looking for someone who is:

· Skilled at turning insight into action - comfortable working with data, segmentation, automation or journey optimisation.

· An excellent communicator who can influence and align colleagues at all levels.

· Curious, innovative and committed to continuous improvement.

Experience with CRM systems, digital stewardship or marketing automation platforms is a must but just as important is your mindset: forward‑thinking, collaborative and supporter‑obsessed.

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity enables families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness to make the most of time together, providing expert, practical and emotional support, where they need it for as long as it is needed. For families living with childhood illness, time is everything.
