There is a school attendance crisis with nearly 1 in 5 children missing more than 10% of their schooling each year. They are missing weeks, months, even years of their education, severely affecting their future life chances.

School-Home Support looks beyond the classroom to tackle the underlying causes of school absence and get children back to school, ready to learn. Whatever it takes.

We require increased funding to help tackle this national crisis and are recruiting to this crucial fundraising role to help fund our new strategy. This is a fantastic chance to join our passionate, committed team and make your mark on one of the education challenges of a generation.

You:

You are a proactive, confident, enthusiastic and target-driven individual who is keen to join our friendly team to support all aspects of new business development, from researching and identifying (new and lapsed) prospects through to cultivating and applying for funding. The role’s main focus will be on identifying and securing mid-value partnerships, £20k-£50k and £50k+, as well as supporting other ends of the spectrum. The role will suit a self-starter who is most energised by seeking out opportunities and meeting new people, and who is looking to make an impact by enhancing School-Home Support’s reputation in securing and delivering outstanding corporate partnerships.

You will be a passionate communicator with a proven track record of inspiring organisations to support the charities you have represented. You will be confident in approaching and speaking with individuals at all levels in a business, understanding motivations and providing opportunities for them to deliver real impact to the families we support. You will be an inspirational team leader and relish the opportunity of working collaboratively to deliver against targets.

You’ll have previous, demonstrable experience of:

• Working on new business within the corporate sector
• Successfully identifying and developing new funder relationships
• Achieving income targets

To apply for the role, you will need to send your CV and covering letter outlining how you meet the person specification attached to your application.

We will aim to conduct interviews in person as far as possible. We may need to hold second interviews, and you will be informed of this following the initial interview.

We are committed to maximising staff wellbeing and creating an inclusive, safe environment where everyone feels comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work.

As an employer, we offer:

• Generous annual leave entitlement
• Comprehensive employee wellbeing programme
• Employee assistance programme
• Life assurance
• Pension scheme

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
