Job Title: Trusts and Grants Manager 
Job Ref: TGM444 
Contract: Permanent 
Hours: Full time – 37 hours per week 
Salary: £31,000 – £35,000 per annum, depending on experience 
Location: The role is offered on a hybrid basis with attendance at the Penny Brohn UK National Centre 3 days per week

About Us

Penny Brohn UK is the cancer health and wellbeing charity. We help people feel better in mind, body and spirit by offering support through our team of cancer support experts (which includes doctors, nutritionists, counsellors and exercise therapists).

Penny Brohn UK helps people with cancer to feel more physically and emotionally able to manage the impacts of their diagnosis and treatment, be more in control of their choices and have the best quality of life possible. By making our services freely available, our aim is for all people with cancer to be able to access the high-quality support they need.

The Role

We are excited to be recruiting a new Trusts and Grants Manager and are seeking to appoint an experienced and motivated individual to operationalise and deliver a refreshed trusts and grants strategy at Penny Brohn UK.

This is a key role within our High Value Fundraising Team, with responsibility for managing the full trusts and grants portfolio, from smaller awards (c. £5,000) through to significant high-value grants (typically £10,000 and above). The postholder will lead on developing a strong funder pipeline, submitting high-quality applications and reports, stewarding funders, and maximising income across the programme.

The successful candidate will initially hold sole responsibility for the trusts and grants income stream, with support from the Head of Fundraising and Communications. However, depending on income growth over the first 12–18 months, there may be an opportunity to expand the team and recruit a Trusts and Grants Officer to support delivery, which would bring a future line management element to the role.

This role would suit someone who has previously managed an income stream within a smaller charity environment, or an experienced Trusts and Grants Officer who is looking to take the next step into a management-level position.

The individual we are looking for will:

• Have a proven track record of securing grants from trusts and foundations across a range of values.
• Be confident in writing persuasive, high-quality funding applications and reports.
• Bring strong project management and relationship-building skills, with the ability to grow and manage a healthy prospect pipeline.
• Be a team player with excellent communication skills, able to collaborate across functions and represent Penny Brohn UK externally with professionalism and passion.
• Be highly motivated and proactive, with a commitment to delivering excellent funder experiences and upholding the mission and values of Penny Brohn UK.

In return for your hard work and dedication you will enjoy a wide variety of benefits including:

• 30 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays
• Beautiful workspace in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Bristol with free onsite parking
• Subsidised lunch, freshly prepared onsite in the Penny Brohn kitchen
• Flexible and hybrid working
• Enhanced sick pay after six month’s service
• Auto enrolment into the Penny Brohn UK pension scheme
• Free Life Assurance
• Family friendly policies with enhanced maternity and paternity leave after one year of service
• Specsavers Corporate eyecare test
• Cycle to work scheme
• Access to subsidised wellbeing at the Penny Brohn UK National Centre

Timetable for appointment

Closing date: Tuesday 20 May 2025
Interview date: Thursday 29 May 2025
Start date: As soon as possible
Please note: we would advise anyone interested in the position to submit their application as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as we may close the advert early should a suitable candidate be found.

Thank you for considering Penny Brohn UK, we look forward to hearing from you!
