Trustee jobs in Westminster, greater london
We are a not-for-profit organisation committed to increasing the diversity and numbers of young people entering engineering and technology to meet the future workforce needs, as well as promoting roles that help us work towards net zero and drive environmental sustainability.
This maternity cover role is a fantastic opportunity to make a direct impact on this mission. You’ll achieve this as part of a deeply collaborative and trusts-funding-ready organisational culture.
You may be an experienced fundraising manager wanting to contribute to and steer strategy development, or a specialist seeking to take the next step in their career. With experience in grant funding – from trusts, foundations, philanthropists or government – you will have three key areas shape, building on the great foundations already in place. These are;
- Building EngineeringUK’s pipeline of prospective funders. Researching vision-aligned high value potential funders. There’s an impact-rich portfolio of restricted and unrestricted programmes and themes ranging from sustainability to gender equity to explore.
- You’ll relationship-manage our most significant funders - be the new visionary funders in the green space, piloting new work, to long-established education-focussed funders giving multi-year gifts.
- You will take the lead on developing and writing proposals in collaboration with vibrant, and evidence-based Engagement Programme, Research and Policy teams.
- You will take the lead on developing and writing proposals in collaboration with vibrant, and evidence-based Engagement Programme, Research and Policy teams.
You will be part of a truly collaborative team which achieves shared ambitions, when working on cross-department projects such as reporting to your funders and preparing engaging experiences for them. This can include visits to schools, tours of our stand-out Big Bang Fair with 20,000 visitors, or volunteering on our Big Bang competition judging. These opportunities mean that EngineeringUK is uniquely placed for a Trusts & Foundations Manager to work in meaningful relationship development as well as the “bread and butter” delivery. In this job, you will experience EngineeringUK’s values first-hand, through direct relationships with your CEO and Trustee Board members, as well as your community of relationship specialist teammates.
About the role
We are looking for a passionate and skilled Trusts & Foundations specialist to complete a maternity cover. This role will continue to expand EngineeringUK’s relationships in this field and develop grant-funding as a core income stream for our work. We receive significant funding from grant funders already but are looking to scale this income stream. This gives the successful candidate the opportunity to create impact for our programme delivery, research and beyond. Whilst this is currently the sole role focusing on this area, you would be supported by the Director of Business Development & Partnerships and the Chief Executive, both of whom have experience in this type of fundraising. Senior level engagement and support means we can be flexible to the level of experience of the successful candidate, making this role a great opportunity for an experienced Manager wanting to take ownership of a strategy, or for a Specialist looking to take their next step and develop their strategic skills.
The Trusts & Foundations Manager (maternity cover) role is part of the Business & Industry team (11 people), who have responsibility for all funding and industry relationships across EngineeringUK. The team works strategically with stakeholders across the engineering, technology and education sectors, to support our mission to increase the number and diversity of young people choosing engineering and technology careers. Opportunities for funding include our bursary programme, in-school programmes such as Climate Schools and Big Bang Programme, supporting our community of Code signatories, and developing new programmes.
Prospecting and pipeline management is a key element of this role and once funding is secured, the postholder will account manage the relationship, including regular reporting, delivered in collaboration with programme leads. Therefore, in addition to being able to secure new funding, interest in and experience of delivering excellent account management is essential.
Whilst the core focus of the role will be on developing relationships with trusts & foundations and bid writing, there may also be some opportunities to explore key relationships we hold in government, connected to statutory grants and procurement opportunities.
The role is London based at our office at 10 Lower Thames Street, London EC3R 6EN and may involve some travel in the UK. We believe that hybrid working has many benefits and are pleased to offer flexible working with a minimum of 2 days (or 40%) a week in the office and the option for a flexible start and end to the working day in our vibrant central London office overlooking the Thames. Further details on our flexible working practices can be discussed at interview or you can reach out to a member of our HR team.

About Us
People’s Economy aims to build the agency and power of people facing injustice and working for social change so that they have the expertise, capabilities and resources to develop their own analysis of how the economic system is a root cause of the injustice they face, develop strategies to change it and then take action with others. Our vision is for a world with economies that meet the needs and priorities of people currently experiencing economic injustice.
About the Role
This role leads our work across Birmingham at an exciting moment. We are developing a participatory, community-centred approach to analysing the city's economy, identifying opportunities for change and coordinating alliances to act on them. This means bringing together mixed groups, including grassroots changemakers, researchers, funders and other partners, and facilitating processes that help people make sense of complex information together, find common ground and make decisions about collective priorities. The role requires someone who can hold these processes well: strong facilitation skills, communicating complex ideas accessibly, building trust across groups, sustaining momentum over time and helping diverse coalitions move from analysis to strategy to action.
The Senior Programme and Network Lead will develop and deliver initiatives that support a growing movement for economic justice across the city, with a particular focus on building support and engagement amongst grassroots changemakers and communities experiencing economic injustice. It will manage projects and resources, conduct programme development and delivery, oversee outreach and partnerships, changemaker recruitment and contribute to fundraising, ultimately playing a key role in shaping our regional impact. This position is crucial in coordinating our work across Birmingham and driving meaningful collaboration with local and national stakeholders, in particular working collaboratively with Economic Justice Brum, a long-standing initiative working on local economic systems change.
Online Open House
Come and meet us! Candidates are invited to attend an information webinar and to meet some of the team on Wednesday 13th May at 12pm or Wednesday 21st May at 5pm. Both webinars will cover the same content, so there is no need to attend both.

Supporter Engagement & Fundraising Communications Manager — Go Beyond £35,000–£37,000 | Fully Remote | Permanent | Full-time
Go Beyond has given over 21,000 vulnerable children life-changing residential breaks since 1994. Young carers who spend their days looking after parents. Children living in poverty for whom a school holiday means hunger, not adventure. Kids who've been bullied or bereaved and need a week away from their ordinary life.
The charity is entirely self-funded. £1.8 million a year, every penny raised by supporters. No government money. Which means the work this fundraising team does is directly and specifically what makes those breaks possible.
This is the role that sits at the heart of that.
What makes this moment unusual:
Go Beyond's flagship campaign, Ice Cream Moments, launches this summer — backed by Louis Theroux, James Acaster, David Gower and Jenny Agutter. The trustees want to go viral. A legacy programme is built and ready to launch. An alumni programme connecting with 21,000+ former beneficiaries is research-complete and waiting for someone to open the door. And a loyal supporter base of 200–300 regular givers — many of whom have been giving for over a decade — is generating £90,000 a year with almost no stewardship behind it.
Sara, the Director of Fundraising, describes what's needed like this: "Think of this as your own company. Think of this income stream as your domain — you could make it something amazing."
What the role involves:
The Supporter Engagement & Fundraising Communications Manager will own the supporter communications function end to end. This is a project management and strategy role — not an execution role. The doing sits with two direct reports and a network of freelancers. Your job is to build the plan, manage the team, deliver the campaigns and make sure the data tells you what's working.
In practice that means:
- Building and managing proper supporter journeys for regular givers, challenge event runners and Ice Cream Moments donors
- Project managing the full campaigns calendar — four annual appeals, Ice Cream Moments, challenge events, and a growing digital communications programme
- Developing and implementing a data strategy, setting up income dashboards and overseeing the CRM
- Launching the legacy programme and, in time, the alumni programme
- Managing two direct reports: a Digital Marketing Officer and a Data & Admin / Challenge Events Officer
- Writing an 18-month strategy with proper pipelines and income forecasts
What we're looking for:
This is not a pure fundraiser role or a pure marketing role. It's a hybrid — and the right person will see that as a feature, not a confusion.
- A track record of owning campaigns end to end — not being part of them, owning them. Specific examples, with dates, outputs and results
- Genuine data literacy — comfortable in a CRM, able to run queries, understand segmentation. Not expert-level, but curious enough that you're never caught out
- Financial awareness — you ask what the target is before anything else. You work backwards from an income number
- Hands-on as well as strategic — you can delegate and direct, but you can also do
- Strong project management — multiple workstreams, freelancers, deadlines you can't move
Charity sector experience is welcome but not essential. Commercial direct marketing, agency-side or individual giving backgrounds are all genuinely considered.
What Go Beyond offers:
- £35,000–£37,000 with annual pay review benchmarked to sector
- Fully remote — with the option to use Go Beyond's centres in Cornwall and Derbyshire
- 28 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Friday afternoons off — the whole business shuts down, every week
- Management training through the British Growth Fund's six-week programme
- A collaborative, supportive team culture in a genuinely mission-driven organisation
This role will suit you if:
You're energised by building rather than maintaining. You want to own a function, not just a job title. You think in income as well as engagement. And you want to be part of something where the work — the campaigns, the supporter journeys, the data — is directly connected to a child getting a break they wouldn't otherwise have had.
This role is being recruited exclusively through Raise + Recruit, an independent executive search adviser specialising in the charity sector. All enquiries are handled in complete confidence — including from your current employer.
To find out more or to express interest, contact John Austin. No lengthy application process at this stage — a conversation is all it takes.
