Are you passionate about children’s safety and have the skills and experience to excel in this role and help reclaim the internet for young people? We would love to hear from you!

Breck Foundation

Breck Foundation is at the forefront of efforts to safeguard children and young people online. Our organisation was founded in 2014 in response to the tragic loss of Breck Bednar, a 14-year-old boy who was groomed and murdered by someone he met online. Our work aims to prevent this from ever happening again. Our work saves lives.  We reach thousands of children and young people in schools and other community settings with Breck's story every year. Our talks and educational materials fill a gap in the current UK curriculum that otherwise leaves children vulnerable to online grooming and exploitation.

With 98% of young people now active internet users, current and future generations grow up having to navigate new and evolving digital dangers. We are committed to making the internet a place where children can live, play and thrive in safety. We are helping young people reclaim the internet.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Trusts and Grants Fundraiser to support the work of the Breck Foundation on a freelance basis.

This role is offered for approximately two days per week, providing flexibility alongside the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the development of our fundraising function.

If you are highly organised, detail-oriented, and confident managing competing deadlines - and motivated by making a real difference in keeping young people safe online - this could be an excellent opportunity.

Working closely with the CEO, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering our trusts and grants activity. The focus of the role will be on researching opportunities, developing a strong funding pipeline, and writing high-quality, compelling applications that clearly communicate our impact and vision.

This is a collaborative role, with the CEO leading on overall fundraising strategy and funder relationships. You will support the delivery of that strategy through bid writing, pipeline development, and contributing insight into funding opportunities and direction.

There is genuine potential for this role to grow over time, as part of our longer-term ambition to expand and strengthen a wider income generation function.

About you:

We are looking for someone who:

• Is motivated by purpose-driven work and wants to make a meaningful difference to the lives of young people and families
• Is proactive, self-motivated, and confident working independently in a freelance capacity
• Enjoys problem-solving and managing a varied workload
• Has strong attention to detail and excellent persuasive writing skills
• Has experience securing income from trusts and foundations
• Shares our commitment to safeguarding and online safety education

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!

This is a rewarding opportunity to contribute to a charity with growing national reach and impact. Your work will directly support the delivery of life-saving education, innovative projects, and partnerships with schools, industry, and safeguarding professionals.

If you have a strong track record of securing income from trusts and foundations, along with the initiative, enthusiasm, and passion to support our mission, we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with the CEO to plan and prioritise trusts and grants activity, ensuring a focused and strategic pipeline of funding opportunities
• Research and identify suitable trust and grant funders aligned with the Foundation’s work and funding needs
• Write high-quality, compelling funding applications and proposals that clearly communicate impact, need, and outcomes
• Develop tailored content for applications, including adapting core messaging, case for support material, and project information
• Support the development and refinement of a clear and compelling Case for Support, working with colleagues to gather relevant data and stories
• Maintain and manage a pipeline of prospects, tracking application deadlines and progress
• Provide regular, concise updates to the CEO on pipeline activity, submitted bids, and upcoming opportunities
• Collaborate with the wider team to gather information required for strong applications (e.g. budgets, project plans, impact data)
• Ensure accurate record-keeping of applications and funder interactions on the CRM system, in line with GDPR requirements

Experiences:

• Proven experience in trusts and grants fundraising, or a similar income generation role
• Experience of working towards income targets and managing relationships with a range of stakeholders
• Demonstrable success in researching, writing, and securing funding through high-quality applications and proposals
• Experience of developing project budgets and presenting financial information to funders
• Experience of using a CRM system to manage pipelines, analyse data, and report on activity
• Experience of presenting to or engaging different audiences (desirable)
• A track record of securing high-value grants from trusts and foundations (desirable)

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• A genuine interest in online safety and safeguarding, with a commitment to the mission of the Breck Foundation
• Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce compelling, persuasive funding applications tailored to different audiences
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships with funders, partners, and colleagues with professionalism and sensitivity
• High attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate records and deliver work to a high standard
• Excellent organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines in a freelance capacity
• Confident in interpreting budgets, tracking income, and presenting financial information clearly

We are seeking an exceptional leader who can act as a credible spokesperson and ambassador for the Catholic Union, building trusted relationships across the Church, parliament and wider society and helping to grow the Catholic Union’s influence and engagement in the years ahead.

Founded in 1870, the Catholic Union of Great Britain brings Catholic laity and Catholic social teaching to the public square across England, Wales and Scotland. Working in partnership with dioceses, parishes, MPs, MSPs, MSs, peers and Catholic organisations, our vision is of a society in which Catholic laity are informed, equipped and encouraged to engage in public life.

Our work is shaped by three key themes: engagement, education and encouragement. Through these we foster informed participation in public debate, help Catholics and the wider public understand contemporary social and political issues through a Catholic lens, and inspire greater confidence for Catholics to contribute to civic and community life.

In recent years the Catholic Union has developed from being largely volunteer-led into a more professional and strategically focused organisation, strengthening relationships across the Church and wider society. Our Weekly Briefing, now read by around 6,500 people each week, has become a key channel for parliamentary reporting, Catholic news and reflection.

As Director, you will lead the Catholic Union at an exciting moment in its development. You will represent the Catholic Union publicly, strengthening relationships with bishops, diocesan leaders, parliamentarians and Catholic organisations. You will act as a trusted ambassador for the Union, grow our channels of influence and engagement, and work with Trustees, Council and a small experienced team to support the organisation’s continued development.

If you are inspired by the opportunity to serve as a public voice for a respected Catholic organisation and help foster thoughtful dialogue and engagement in public life, we would love to hear from you.

For more information, please see the job pack attached. Closing date 10th April.
