Leading our work with trusts and corporate partners, you’ll play an important part in protecting and restoring UK wildlife, while advancing your fundraising career in the fast-growing ‘nature and climate’ space.

The NBN Trust is a nature charity with a difference. Our mission is making data work for nature. “Data??? That’s a bit niche!”, I hear you say. And you’re right – but it’s a vitally important niche. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth and, if we’re to stand any hope of fixing it, we’re going to need data. Lots of data. “What gets measured gets done”, as the saying goes. We need to understand what we’ve lost and what remains. We need to set targets for nature’s recovery. And we need to measure success as nature turns the corner and starts to make a comeback.

That’s where the NBN Trust comes in. We support the entire UK conservation movement by providing public access to the wildlife data that’s needed to make good decisions for nature. We’re a conservation charity, tech charity and people charity rolled into one – a unique combination! This gives us novel opportunities for fundraising, and we’re excited to be recruiting our first ever dedicated fundraiser, to develop and lead a programme of innovative partnerships with corporate supporters, trusts and foundations. Could this be your next career move?

Working closely with our CEO and our leadership team, you’ll be responsible for:

· Initiating, developing and maintaining high-value relationships with new and potential funders, including trusts,        foundations and corporate partners.

· Creating high-quality proposals and grant bids that address our strategic priorities.

· Managing an ambitious fundraising pipeline.

· Helping to build a strong fundraising culture and ethos across the organisation.

We’re a 100% remote-working charity, so you’ll need to be comfortable and effective working from home. The whole team meets up four times a year for in-person team meetings (in London and other locations around the UK). In this role, you’ll also travel to some face-to-face meetings and events with funders and partners.

We’re an equal opportunities and Living Wage employer. We welcome all applicants, and we're striving to create an inclusive and diverse team. If you’re interested in joining us, please see the job pack on our website and get in touch if there’s anything you’d like to ask.

Candidates must have permission to work in the UK. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visa applications.

Contract: Permanent, Full-time (35 hours per week)

Location: Anywhere in the UK, we are a remote-first organisation

Our mission is to tirelessly support and champion how parents can participate in education and have their voices heard.  We want to be a powerful force for good in education in the UK that strives to bring homes and schools together for the good of all children and society.  We have ambitious plans to increase our impact and are establishing a central fundraising strategy for the first time.  Therefore, we are looking for an experienced trust fundraiser to play a key role in delivering organisational growth. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our fledgling Fundraising Team and develop a trust fundraising programme from the ground up.  We are looking for someone with experience in raising funds from trusts and foundations, who is an excellent communicator - spoken and written – and who can undertake research to effectively identify appropriate prospects.  You will help to develop our case for support and develop a suite of proposals and reports that will convey to funders what Parentkind does, what the parents and schools we work with want, and how we support them.  Attention to detail is key, as is the ability to manage your time and prioritise your work.

If you are excited by the potential for helping to establish a brand-new fundraising team and the opportunity to build something transformational alongside passionate and committed colleagues, we would love to hear from you.

You’ll have

• A minimum of two years of experience in trust fundraising
• Demonstrable success in securing four and five-figure gifts
• Experience in managing funder relationships, and developing them into longer-term partnerships
• Strong research skills to help identify suitable prospects whose mission aligns with Parentkind
• Excellent interpersonal and relationship management skills, with the ability to build and maintain positive relationships with diverse internal and external stakeholders at all levels
• Excellent communication skills - strong attention to detail and the ability to produce high-quality written applications, and proposals and deliver impactful presentations

You’ll get

• To join a fast-moving charity with an exciting future
• To help build a trust fundraising function from scratch, playing a key role in driving forward the charity’s strategy and shaping our fundraising activity
• Remote working full-time with a great online team culture
• 25 days holiday in addition to UK public holidays.

More about Parentkind

Parentkind is a national federated charity that aims to advance education by encouraging the fullest cooperation between home and school, education authorities, central government and all other interested parties and bodies.  We are proud to be the leading membership organisation for parent teacher associations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.  Parentkind seeks to represent all these parent groups as they strive to help every child in their school and we support our 12,500 members to raise £122m annually.

As well as helping parent groups on the ground, we provide resources to support parent participation in education at school and home so that every child can thrive and reach their potential.  Ultimately, we want more parents to be empowered to be involved and engaged in their child’s education.  The evidence is clear that parental participation in education benefits children in schools and society and increases the opportunities for social mobility for our younger generations.

We are working towards a future where this is considered an essential ingredient in the success of our children’s education by society, schools and parents themselves by:

• Engaging and inspiring individual parents
• Supporting our PTA and other member associations and growing the number if PTAs across the UK
• Helping schools be parent-friendly through guidance and training
• Working with partners
• Championing the role of those with parental responsibility in their child’s education through our research and by influencing education sector interests and policymakers. 

The charity's impact is significant, and our work ensures that parent and carer voices are heard at a local, regional, and national level.
