About you

You’ll be a confident trust fundraiser with a proven track record of securing significant grants and managing long-term funder relationships. You're comfortable leading on strategy, identifying new opportunities, and collaborating across teams to produce strong, evidence-led proposals. Excellent writing, budgeting, and project management skills are essential, as is a commitment to Carers UK's mission and values.

About the role

With demand for our services growing, we are seeking a Trusts and Foundations Manager to help power our mission through strategic, long-term funding partnerships. This is a pivotal role in our high-performing Fundraising Team, focused on securing and growing income from charitable trusts, foundations, statutory sources and the National Lottery. You’ll lead on developing high-value, often multi-year proposals, managing a healthy pipeline, and building strong relationships with funders to deliver impactful, sustained funding for our vital work.

This role offers you the opportunity to take real ownership of an essential income stream—crafting compelling bids, shaping funder strategy, and driving forward the development of complex funding applications. You’ll be supported to grow in your role and have the chance to make a real difference in the lives of unpaid carers across the UK.

About us

Carers UK is the leading national charity supporting, advocating for and connecting unpaid carers across the UK. We exist to make life better for unpaid carers, however caring affects them. Despite being a relatively small charity, we regularly punch above our weight and we have achieved meaningful change and we have influenced almost every piece of legislation concerning carers over the past 60 years; from the first ever 1967 legal rights for carers, to the 2024 Carers Leave Act. We have carers experience at the heart of everything that we do. Our support, advice, information and campaigning work are now needed more than ever, as unpaid carers are providing more and more care, adversely impacting on their own health and wellbeing.

This is an exciting time to join Carers UK as we celebrate our 60th anniversary, an important milestone to look back on our achievements and to highlight what more needs to be done to ensure
that carers are treated equally in all aspects of their lives and that no one has to care alone. Our mission is to make life better for carers. Our Vision: We want a society that recognises, values and supports carers and to halve the time it takes for carers to recognise themselves as carers. The last published census in 2021 showed there to be 5.8 million unpaid carers in the UK. However, recent research carried out by Carers UK estimates that the true number of unpaid carers in the UK is as high as 10.6 million, with 12,000 people becoming carers every day.

Diversity and inclusion

Carers UK is committed to becoming a diverse and truly inclusive organisation. We strive to create a workplace where our colleagues and volunteers can truly be themselves and feel like they belong and constantly seek to ensure all voices are heard.

To embrace this culture of diversity, our employee and volunteer recruitment should reflect our stakeholders and the society that we serve and support, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, disabilities or religious practices. We value individual diversity and are actively building diverse teams here at Carers UK and value our colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds.

As a membership charity for carers, we particularly seek employees and volunteers with a real understanding of the issues faced by carers. Reasonable adjustments can be made to the process and role dependent on the needs of the applicant.

Please send in your application as soon as possible. We look forward to receiving your application. Carers UK anonymises all applications prior to shortlisting.
