The need for everyone to have access to God’s word, and to know Jesus in a deeper way, is a cause that is increasingly capturing the imaginations of Christian major donors. They are motivated by a clear and urgent problem (1 in 5 people without the Bible in their language) but one that we can do something about.

 In the past four years, our income from major donors and trusts has more than doubled to over £2m and we believe there is more potential by fundraising the right way and building long-term relationships that minister to donors.

Key responsibilities:

• Achieve ambitious yet realistic major donor income targets
• Support the development of a robust major donor pipeline
• Deputise for the Director of Key Relationships where necessary

Benefits include:

• 33 days’ annual leave, including bank holidays
• Up to 5 days’ extra leave to serve on the Board of an external organisation
• Competitive contributory pension scheme
• Employer pension contributions up to 7.5%
• Fully employer-funded life assurance
