About the role

We are looking for an experienced, dynamic and ambitious high value fundraiser to work as a Senior Trusts & Foundations Officer.  The post-holder will play a key role in our fast-growing and high performing Partnerships and Philanthropy Unit. 

The Partnerships & Philanthropy Team has seen significant growth over the last few years, built around strong partnerships with major funders.  We have ambitions to increase income to £9m+ a year. 

The Senior Trusts & Foundations Officer will play a vital role in supporting this ambition, and in helping Practical Action achieve its wider goals. You will have a strong aptitude and proven success in winning new business and subsequently developing and managing a portfolio of donors and prospects capable of making five, six and, potentially, seven figure grants.  These donors and prospects are sophisticated grant-makers and major donors, drawn from the UK, Europe and the US, giving large, multi-year grants to complex projects and campaigns.

Critical to the success of the role will be the ability to identify, research, engage, communicate, build relationships and win support from donors and prospects. The role will also require you to engage, communicate and work with colleagues across the organisation to secure new donors. You will need to quickly understand often complex projects and strategies and engage and communicate about these with donors.  You will also need to work collaboratively with colleagues and donors to negotiate and develop proposals and steward supporters.

The role offers an amazing opportunity for an ambitious fundraiser who is seeking a challenging but, ultimately, incredibly rewarding role.

About you

You have a solid understanding of high value fundraising from Trusts & Foundations, and you have most likely had at least 3-4 years winning new business and managing and developing a portfolio of high value donors.  Ideally you will have some experience of international development and/or some experience of European or US funders.

You are confident at identifying and seizing opportunities, quickly building relationships and securing support.  You are a confident communicator with the ability to work with a range of people to help secure grants and manage donor relationships, ideally on complex projects.

You are great at organising yourself and you are a confident problem solver.  And whilst you will need to be passionate for the cause, you will also need to be a calm head when things don’t go right.

Why join us?

The opportunity to work for an organisation that is making a positive difference to the lives of people worldwide, a friendly and supportive culture, working with values driven and highly engaged colleagues, work life balance and flexible working – these are just some of the reasons we think Practical Action is a great place to work.

Our new open plan offices are located in the centre of Rugby near to the train station but we also offer free parking.

In addition, we offer the following benefits:

• Flexible working/hours – full time roles are contracted at 35 hours per week.

• 26 days holiday in addition to public holidays.

• A pension scheme that new employees can join from day one of employment - employer contributes 10.5% of salary and the employee contributes 5%.

• Life assurance (3 x annual salary).

• Cycle to Work scheme.

Butterfly Conservation is a leading wildlife charity working across the UK to conserve butterflies, moths and our environment and seeks to appoint two project officers for an exciting new landscape-scale conservation project.

The Kent’s Magnificent Moths project will focus on the celebration and conservation of some of the UK’s rarest, most threatened, and most beautiful species, occurring across a stunning variety of landscapes at the very south east extreme of the UK.  This ambitious project will take place across six key landscapes in East Kent, working along the coast, in woodlands and on the Downs. Eight declining and vulnerable moth species have been selected to be the focus of conservation action: Black-veined Moth, Bright Wave, Fiery Clearwing, Fisher’s Estuarine Moth, Straw Belle, Marsh Mallow Moth, Sussex Emerald and White-spotted Sable. Many of these moths have highly restricted distributions, with their entire UK population surviving only in Kent. 

Saving these species involves coordinating conservation action at a landscape scale, which we cannot do alone. This project (and the project development) will involve working with a wide range of landowners and partner organisations to ultimately improve habitat condition for the target species. We also need to work with local communities to ensure we build long-term support for these species and for other wildlife.

We require a highly motivated individual to develop and implement an imaginative programme of engagement to introduce wide audiences to moths and their conservation. We want to build dedicated teams of volunteers and provide meaningful opportunities for local communities to discover, enjoy and conserve the rare wildlife on their doorstep.

An aim of the project is to reach out to community groups, schools and individuals who might have little experience of moths and other wildlife – so a creative and enthusiastic nature is a must!

Experience of working with young people, vulnerable groups, volunteers, teachers and school children will be extremely valuable, and excellent communication skills are essential, as well as good knowledge wildlife conservation and the natural world.
