• Securing Income: Crafting and submitting high-quality, persuasive trust and grant applications (targeting five- and six-figure funding) and managing timely reports back to our current partners.

• Managing the Pipeline: Working closely with the CEO to track our fundraising goals, manage cash flow awareness, and keep our CRM system (Beacon) up to date.

• Supporting Earned Income: Helping to streamline the internal processes behind our paid consultancy and campaign training services, collaborating with our Policy & Engagement team to track leads.

You will provide support across high value fundraising (corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations and major donors), getting the opportunity to develop your experience and confidence in these income streams. Working closely with the Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships, you’ll provide excellent account management for a portfolio of partnerships and donor relationships – delivering inspiring communications, creative engagement opportunities and ensuring that both the charity and the supporter benefit from the relationship. And you will make a significant contribution to new business – identifying funding and partnership opportunities, cultivating donor relationships and preparing high quality applications and proposals. 

To be successful in this role you’ll enjoy building relationships and collaborating with others – both externally and internally – to make things happen. You’ll be proactive and a problem-solver, able to spot opportunities and identify synergy. You’ll be highly organised, detail-focused and reliable – able to manage a diverse and fast-paced workload.

About the Warm Welcome Campaign

Founded in 2022, the Warm Welcome Campaign wants everyone in the UK to find a place of belonging and reconnection at a Warm Welcome Space near their home. We have a bold purpose to enable a more deeply connected society where we all have free access to welcoming community spaces. 

We resource, connect and champion a network of over 6,300 Warm Welcome Spaces and bring together a growing coalition of local, regional, and national partners representing the worlds of charity, faith, business, government, and philanthropy. By working together, we can unlock the power of community spaces made by and for everyone, creating a thriving network of hope and reconnection fueled by human warmth. 

We’re working hard to reach everyone with the message that a Warm Welcome is waiting for them just around the corner, all through the year.

Throughout all our work and within our team we live out our values of being inclusive, collaborative and courageous and our personality that is friendly, adventurous and uplifting.

We value diversity, and we recognise the enormous benefits and the social imperative of bringing together diverse groups of people. We therefore warmly welcome applications from a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

It’s an important moment for us – we launched a new five year strategy which shows a clear picture of the path we have set ourselves ahead to continue to deliver and deepen our impact. We launched our 100% Pledge Campaign  and in January delivered our second Warm Welcome Week in collaboration with a wide variety of partners.

On a path of growth, we are looking to build on the exciting opportunities already developed as well as continuing to explore potential. The team is growing to meet fundraising demand and maximise the wealth of opportunity available and we are looking for another team member to join us as we look to our future together.
