Are you an experienced fundraiser who enjoys building relationships and wants the opportunity to shape a role around your skills and experience?
We’re looking for a Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser to join Enham Trust and help grow our corporate fundraising. You will manage and develop our existing partnerships while also building new relationships and identifying opportunities to bring new supporters on board.
This is a role where you will have the opportunity to take ownership, bring your own ideas and help shape how our corporate fundraising develops.
What you will be doing
You’ll build and maintain relationships with our corporate partners, while also identifying new organisations and opportunities to grow our income. You’ll work closely with businesses to develop fundraising, sponsorship, volunteering and other ways they can support Enham Trust.
You’ll also:
- Manage and develop existing corporate partnerships, while building relationships with new supporters.
- Identify and secure new fundraising and partnership opportunities.
- Develop corporate fundraising programmes and activities that encourage businesses to support Enham Trust.
- Develop effective processes and workflows to support corporate fundraising and supporter engagement.
- Meet with corporate partners, volunteers and other stakeholders
- Coordinate corporate volunteering opportunities and support positive experiences for our partners.
- Work closely with the wider fundraising team and contribute to wider fundraising activity where needed.
There is plenty of scope for the role to develop, so we’re looking for someone who is confident working independently, takes ownership and happy to bring new ideas to the table.
About you
You’ll already have fundraising experience and understand how to build strong relationships with supporters and develop those relationships into fundraising opportunities. Corporate or partnership fundraising experience is important, as you’ll be managing existing relationships while also looking for new opportunities.
You will be responsible for growing income to support Enham Trust’s fundraising targets.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Confident, organised and able to manage their own workload.
- Comfortable building relationships with businesses and other stakeholders.
- A strong communicator, both face to face and in writing.
- Confident presenting, networking and representing a charity externally.
- Able to spot opportunities and take them forward independently.
- Passionate about fundraising and motivated by making a difference.
Experience of working within the disability sector would be useful but isn’t essential. Fundraising training and support will be available, so we’re looking for someone who has the right fundraising experience and wants to develop their career with us.
You will need to be based within or near Hampshire, as we’re looking for someone who can work from our Enham Trust office around 2 to 3 days a week. You’ll also need to be comfortable travelling to meet corporate partners and attend external meetings, so you’ll need a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes.
