We have a rich history dating back to 1949, and our future has never looked more exciting as we aim to be the world’s most innovative oceanographic institution.
About the role
The ocean holds 97% of Earth’s water and produces over 50% of the oxygen we breathe; It feeds the world by producing 30% of global protein for 3 billion people every day, and absorbs 93% of excess heat generated by greenhouse warming. The ocean is essential to life on planet earth and yet we are facing a dramatic decline in ocean health, with human activity affecting sea levels, temperature and the millions of species that call the ocean home.
The National Oceanography Centre is a world leader in oceanographic science, research and innovation. Working in some of the remotest, deepest and most hostile parts of the ocean our scientists bring a greater understanding of issues that affect our environment, our landscapes, our health and our prosperity.

We are committed to flexible working, trusting our staff to get the job done. And we offer an inclusive and supportive environment where our people can meet their full potential.

As Philanthropy Specialist you will work closely with Head of Fundraising on the development and implementation of a Major Gifts Fundraising Strategy, playing a key role in achieving the team’s annual fundraising target. Creating compelling trust applications, using strong cases for support, you will have the opportunity to apply to new trusts as well as re-engage with those the charity has received from before. In this role you will also pro-actively engage with high-net-worth individuals in order to secure significant donations and, again, this will involve re-engaging with exiting supporters as well as identifying new major gift opportunities.
To be considered for this role you will come to us with at least 2 years’ experience in either Trust or Major Donor fundraising. Ideally we are looking for someone within experience in both of these fields, but are happy to consider applicants who have demonstrable experience in securing 5 figure gifts from either Trusts and Foundations, or from Major Donors. Experience of developing and delivering fundraising budgets and a track record of meeting targets is essential. Additionally, you should possess strong organisational, planning and prioritisation skills with an ability to work independently and use your own initiative.
This role is a permanent full-time position with the option to work out of the charity’s wonderful hub in the heart of Leeds, but also from home as required. With a focus on fun, integrity and flexibility this is a truly fantastic team to join, at an incredibly exciting time.
The recruitment for this role is ongoing, and the position will close when a sufficient number of suitable applications have been received. If you wish to express an interest in this role, please apply directly or contact Charlie or Leanne at Charity Horizons for more information.

We welcome and encourage applications from all suitable candidates irrespective of age, disability, hidden disability, race or national origin, religion or belief, gender, gender expression, political view, sexual orientation, medical condition and pregnancy.
