We work in partnership with the people we support, recognising strengths, encouraging independence and always putting our clients at the heart of what we do.

Our strapline, “It’s what you can do that matters.” is more than just words on page, it’s the belief that underpins everything we do, and reflected in our values and the way we work.

Over the last 40 years, we have provided services and support for adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism and additional physical and sensory disabilities, working alongside our clients to create meaningful opportunities, encourage independence and recognise everyone’s strengths and potential.

We’re equally committed to creating a great place to work and in 2024, London Ability received national recognition from Investor in People as one of the UK’s Top 20 Employers.

We combine evidence, co-production and practical action to address the root causes of racial inequality.

Fawcett is recruiting a Fundraising Manager to own day-to-day fundraising delivery and help strengthen how fundraising works across the organisation. This is a manager-level role with real responsibility: bringing structure, judgement and follow-through to live fundraising activity, leading trusts and foundations as a core technical area, and helping develop wider fundraising opportunities over time.

You would work closely with our Head of Income and Organisational Development, who leads the strategic side of this work, while this role acts as its operational counterpart. We are looking for someone with strong fundraising experience, especially in trusts and foundations, excellent bid and report writing skills, and the ability to operate autonomously in a small organisation.

We know that women and people from marginalised backgrounds are less likely to apply unless they meet every requirement. If this role feels like a strong match for your skills and approach, we would encourage you to apply.
