LTSB has ambitious plans to grow our income over the next few years. You will be joining our fantastic Fundraising team, which currently has three members of staff who work with trusts, foundations, institutions, companies and individuals to ensure the charity has the funds and key relationships necessary to achieve our aims.
This brand new role will support with developing and growing the number of trusts, foundations and institutions we are working with.
Income from trusts, foundations and statutory sources is an important income stream at LTSB, and you will work closely with the Fundraising Manager to develop and execute a strategy in order to grow and retain some of our existing funders, as well as bring new ones on board through effective research and prospecting.
This role would suit someone who has some experience of trust fundraising but is looking for the next step, therefore you must have experience of grant writing (five figure bids). You will have competent writing skills and experience of building and maintaining strong relationships and searching for new ones, whether online or in person. You will be enthusiastic, driven and creative with a can-do attitude. This role will have periods of high intensity. Being able to manage the highs and lows of trust and foundations fundraising is key.
As we all work remotely, you will also need to be a self-starter and be able to work independently. We would expect a thorough understanding and commitment to LTSB’s vision, mission, and work.
To apply to be our Fundraising Manager - Trust and Foundations, please submit the following:
- Your CV
- A personal statement (maximum 2 pages) outlining how you fit the person specification and why you feel you can contribute to LTSB’s work and impact.
Apply by 6.00pm on Wednesday 6th August 2025. Interview dates are likely to be 1st and 2nd April, and will be held online. Second interviews will be scheduled for the following week (if required).
LTSB’s vision is: a world where all young people can choose their careers, with an emphasis on improving the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The successful candidate will have a proven commitment to improving the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and they have an excellent understanding of social mobility, diversity and inclusion issues, and how these factors impact young people.
LTSB does not have its own offices - so you will work remotely, but occasional travel to our city hubs Birmingham, Liverpool, London, and Manchester will be required.
If you would like to discuss the role, please contact Petra Jarratt, our Fundraising Manager on petra @ ltsb.charity.
LTSB prepares, connects and supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to careers with leading organisations.
