Job description

The Eikon Charity helps children and young people in Surrey to feel and be safe, heard, and supported. Through one-to-one support, group work, and programmes in schools, Eikon helps children build confidence, resilience, and the skills they will need to navigate life’s challenges.

This is a senior fundraising role within Eikon’s Trusts & Grants team, focused on generating significant voluntary income from charitable trusts, foundations, and local government funders. With an overall team target of £1m, this postholder will contribute around £250k per year through a mix of high-quality applications, strategic account management, and relationship building.

The role requires both strong bid writing skills (especially for complex, high-value and multi-year proposals) and excellent interpersonal skills to develop and steward relationships with funders. It offers the opportunity to take on more responsibility within the team, deputise for the Grants Lead when needed, and help shape Eikon’s fundraising approach.

As Senior Trust Fundraiser, you will:

  • Raise circa £250k annually from a mix of trusts, foundations, and local government grant funders (restricted and unrestricted)
  • Lead on developing a portfolio of high-value, multi-year funders, cultivating new prospects and strengthening existing relationships
  • Research, write, and submit compelling, tailored proposals and reports
  • Work collaboratively with the Grants Lead on strategic bids (e.g. The National Lottery Community Fund, Community Foundation for Surrey)
  • Develop an approach for growing unrestricted income
  • Actively network across Surrey to identify new leads and opportunities
  • Provide excellent account management through regular reporting, funder meetings, and creative stewardship (e.g. site visits, events)
  • Manage accurate pipeline and reporting on Donorfy CRM, supporting both team and board-level reporting
  • Deputise for the Grants Lead at meetings where required
  • Provide peer support to colleagues in the fundraising team

Ideal skills and experience: 

  • Proven track record in trusts and foundations fundraising (including complex, high-value proposals)
  • Strong written communication skills, with the ability to present complex information persuasively
  • Confident in building and maintaining relationships with senior stakeholders
  • Comfortable independently representing Eikon at external meetings and networking events
  • Strong organisational and time management skills – able to balance writing, relationship building, and reporting
  • Collaborative, proactive, and adaptable; able to deputise when required
  • Experience of the children, education, or mental health sectors desirable
  • Based in or near Surrey, with willingness to travel regularly within the county
  • Driving licence essential

Benefits include: 

  • 25 days annual leave (rising with service) plus bank holidays
  • Enhanced sick leave and pay
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Safeguarding training and ongoing professional development opportunities
