Job description

Who are we?

Orchards is a Christian charity with a vision to see women free from sexual exploitation and empowered for flourishing, independent lives. We build trusting relationships with each woman and enable her to access support for lasting recovery through our main areas:

  • transitional safe housing
  • specialist trauma counselling
  • tailored life and work skills mentoring
  • the offer of local church life for community, care, and exploring faith for herself if she chooses.

We are in an exciting time of growth as we continue to operate across three sites: South London, East London and East Sussex and prepare to open our fourth safe property. We have an opportunity for someone to join our team and manage our trusts and grants fundraising as we prepare to reach more women over the coming years.

We have a Genuine Occupational Requirement that our staff members hold a Christian faith (see below for further details). You should be comfortable bringing faith conversations and prayer into your work as appropriate, as well as participating in times of prayer with the wider Orchards team. We request that all staff commit to and uphold our ethos.

Growing our income generation

We are currently recruiting for two roles in our fundraising team. Our other role is Communications and Fundraising Officer and is focused on supporter care. Both of these roles are part time. We have written them separately as we believe that typically these are two different skill sets within the fundraising space.

However, if you believe that you have strength in both areas, we'd love to hear from you. We are very open to discussing combining the roles into one full time role. A combined role would involve hybrid working including travel to our London and Brighton sites and candidates would need to be comfortable in having a broad generalist role. Both skill sets would be tested at interview. If you would like to be considered for the combined role, please specify this in your cover letter.

More homeworking options are available for the Grants and Trusts role than for the Communications and Fundraising role.   

Purpose of the role

Our work is growing quickly, so it's an exciting time to join our small but brilliant team. If you are an experienced Fundraiser with a strong track record of success with trusts and grants, are enthusiastic about church-led social action, passionate about tackling sexual exploitation, and have a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, we would love to hear from you.

The ideal candidate would be a strong bid writer with experience in raising funds through grants and trusts (both Christian and secular) and statutory funding.

We have a clear fundraising strategy, a good track record with trusts and grants, existing relationships with funders, a pipeline already in place and plenty of content to draw from - so you will have a solid foundation to enable you to hit the ground running. We’d also love to benefit from your expertise, so you will be working with our Directors very closely, sharing ideas, reviewing strategy and developing and delivering new ideas and initiatives.

The purpose of this new role is to:

  • Nurture our relationships with existing grant funders
  • Generate new grants and trusts leads through quarterly prospecting
  • Increase our grants and trusts income through bid writing

Application Instructions

Your cover letter should include:
- An overview of your relevant experience and skills
- Why you are interested in working for Orchards specifically
- Reference to your Christian faith and how you might live out the Orchards ethos in practice
