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.

You’ll keep a close eye on performance and organise evaluations to make sure that we learn as much as possible from every campaign and continuously improve what we do.
You’ll take ownership of your campaign budgets, including setting and tracking spend carefully and working with colleagues to make the most of every pound we spend. You’ll share updates on performance and flag any opportunities or challenges early, helping the team stay on track and maximising the return on investment wherever possible.
Creativity is a big part of the role too. You’ll write engaging marketing copy, research ideas for campaign creative, and work with designers to bring those ideas to life. After each campaign, you’ll pull together insights and recommendations to help shape future activity.

The Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts (SFCT) bring together a group of independent grant-making trusts and charities, working across a wide range of causes to create lasting social impact.

They share a commitment to thoughtful philanthropy, long-term change and responsible stewardship. Each trust is independent, supported by a central office that helps them work effectively.

SFCT offers a flexible, supportive working environment, with hybrid working, a strong focus on wellbeing and benefits including a generous pension, private healthcare, learning and development and paid volunteering days.

The organisation values diverse perspectives and is committed to building an inclusive workplace where people feel respected and able to do their best work.

About the role

SFCT is looking for a Senior Finance Partner to provide financial leadership across a portfolio of trusts. This is a varied role with real breadth, providing financial insight to support decision-making and help organisations plan for the future.

You’ll work closely with trustees, executives and colleagues across the group, translating financial information into clear insight and ensuring reporting, planning and controls support effective decision-making.

Your work will include:

• Leading financial management across a portfolio of trusts, including reporting, audit and maintaining strong financial controls
• Overseeing core financial processes, including accounting records, reconciliations, audit and regulatory compliance
• Overseeing investment management processes, including coordination across trusts, advisors and investment managers
• Building strong relationships with trustees and senior stakeholders
• Providing financial advice, insight and guidance across the organisation
• Contributing to systems, policies and continuous improvement

If you’re looking for a role where your financial expertise can support meaningful, long-term change, this is an opportunity to play a key role in supporting strong governance and the effective use of charitable resources.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll bring strong experience in financial management, ideally within a charity or complex organisation. You’ll be comfortable working across multiple priorities and able to communicate clearly with people who don’t have a finance background.

• Can balance detail with the bigger picture
• Builds trusted relationships across different stakeholders
• Brings sound judgement and confidence in decision-making

You have a natural ability to encourage, empower, and motivate others to make positive changes, even in challenging circumstances.
