Since then, RfA has grown into a major deliverer of services and support in London and the West Midlands with a turnover of around £2.6m per year. Our mission is to support autistic people to live happy and fulfilling lives. We want to change society’s attitude to autism whilst also providing essential services and enriching opportunities to autistic people. We are a value-driven organisation which employs value-driven people who want to make a difference. You will play a vital part in ensuring that we can resource and sustain this amazing work.

Initially, you will be focusing mainly on helping to maintain our grant and trust fundraising income through bid-writing and supporting colleagues with reporting.
As the role develops, other elements of the fundraising mix will become increasingly important, in particular building up individual giving, corporate relationships and digital fundraising. You will come in at “ground level” on these initiatives, providing a unique opportunity to shape the future of fundraising in an ambitious and growing charity.
This will be a multi-faceted role where you will have considerable freedom to develop fresh ways of working.

· Write high quality funding bids in close collaboration with service delivery colleagues
· Manage relationships with key trust funders, including updates and report writing
· Define and develop our individual giving offer and build our community of donors
· Contribute to cases for support for new corporate supporters
· Build and maintain relationships with our supporter base as it grows through regular communication and stewardship
· Liaise with service colleagues to build up a bank of inspiring case studies and stories from our work with autistic people

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to the lives of autistic people – and who will be proud to see the real impact they’re able to make.
Person Specification:
