We want a great Fundraiser

We are looking for an experienced and successful fundraiser who can secure income, build strong relationships and identify new opportunities.

Shape the future of a growing charity

This is a unique opportunity to become the first dedicated fundraising professional at the South West Heritage Trust and play a leading role in shaping our future as a charity.

You'll have the opportunity to shape strategy, create new approaches and leave a lasting legacy within an organisation that is investing in fundraising for the first time.
