Do you share our belief in the importance of small charities and the power of skilled volunteers to drive meaningful, lasting change?
At Cranfield Trust, our mission is to bring together skilled volunteers and small charities to strengthen organisations, develop leaders and deliver impact that lasts.
Small charities play a vital role in communities, often at the frontline of complex and urgent challenges. But the environment that small charities have to operate in is becoming more demanding, with uncertain funding, rising demand, stretched leadership capacity, and a range of other issues that are currently impacting the sector.
We deliver free, capacity-building services and support for small charities, utilising proven approaches that address organisational challenges and leadership development. We are at an important point in our development, with a new CEO and a new strategy. Demand for our support is high and growing rapidly, and how we respond will shape our future impact.
We are looking for an experienced fundraising and relationship manager, who is motivated by the difference our work makes for small charities throughout the UK.
About this role
As Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager, you will play a central role in developing and managing Cranfield Trust's high-value relationships with funders, donors and partners. This includes identifying new funding and partnership opportunities, shaping compelling proposals, and building and stewarding trusted relationships that lead to long-term support.
You would be joining us at an important point in our development, with a new CEO, and a new strategy being introduced later this year. Demand for our support is high and growing rapidly, and how we respond will shape our future impact.
This is a remote working role, open to candidates based anywhere in the United Kingdom, but occasional attendance at face-to-face meetings, events and in-house training/development is a core requirement of the role. In this role, you will work closely with our Wales and Scotland Managers and we are keen to hear from interested candidates in Scotland or Wales.
You do not need to meet every role requirement to apply. But you should be ready to build an understanding of our work and share our passion for the difference it makes. Whether your experience fully matches the role description, or you bring relevant skills and a strong motivation to learn, we encourage you to apply.
In return, we can offer a flexible, purposeful role in a team that is highly committed, clear on priorities and motivated by our mission. Our staff survey reflects this, with 100% of colleagues feeling committed to delivering high-quality work.
We want to hear from a diverse range of applicants. We are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and we want this to be reflected in the diversity and geographical spread of our team. If you have access needs or require reasonable adjustments as part of the recruitment process, please let us know.
