ABOUT US
School of Hard Knocks (SOHK) is an education charity that exists to empower and support young people living in complex and challenging circumstances. We use rugby to foster an environment of genuine acceptance, where the sport becomes a platform for participants to improve their confidence, communication skills, commitment, self-control, and ability to work effectively within a team. Through group learning and one-to-one mentoring, SOHK helps young people (re)engage with education and safeguard their wellbeing.
Ninety percent of our participants report feeling more confident and more engaged with school after taking part - with long-term effects on attendance, attainment, and life outcomes. Find out more about our Schools Programme here.
SOHK is at a new and exciting stage of development.

Are you passionate about nature and experienced in generating income through trusts and foundations? Could you play a key role in protecting birds and biodiversity for generations to come?
Charity People are working with British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) to find a temporary Trusts and Foundations Fundraising Manager to join their team to secure and grow income from trusts, foundations and other charitable grant-making organisations ensuring they can continue working towards a better future for nature and birds.
At BTO, birds are more than a passion, they are a powerful lens through which to understand the world around us. For nearly a century, their science has shaped national conservation policy, fuelled grassroots volunteering, and built one of the most impressive biodiversity datasets in the UK. They work across the four nations, combining robust scientific research with a belief in the power of people to bring about positive change. This is a flexible, supportive place to work.
As Trusts & Foundations Fundraising Manager, you will take the lead on developing and delivering BTO's Trusts and Foundations strategy. With a current income of around £300-350k annually, there is huge potential to grow this further in line with their strategic ambitions.

* Work on five and six-figure funding applications
* Build and manage strong relationships with new and existing funders
* Work closely with delivery teams to shape compelling proposals and impact reports
* Research and develop a pipeline of opportunities that align with BTO's work
It is an exciting time to join; there is strong senior leadership support, lots of autonomy, and an open door to creativity and innovation in how you approach the work.
We are seeking someone who is:
* A natural relationship-builder, confident in writing and storytelling
* Strategic and methodical, with experience developing income from charitable trusts and foundations ideally 5 figures and above (or equivalent sectors)
* Experienced in independent working, managing a pipeline, and achieving income targets
* Motivated by climate, environment, or conservation causes
