Are you a fundraising guru with knowledge of charity governance and development?  If so, the Barnet third sector needs your support!

As you will be well aware, Covid-19 has brought unprecendented challenges to the charity sector.  Just when need is greatest, resources are hard to come by and many charities face real threats to their sustainability.  To answer this need, we require someone able to advise on all aspects of fundraising to ensure our vital local organisations keep delivering.  If that's you, you'll be aware of the London funding landscape, able to quickly identify opportunities and point organisations in the right direction.  You'll also be happy to roll your sleeves and review and re-write bids as required, and you'll relish the challenge of helping to develop and shape partnerships to keep maximise the impact of our fantastic sector.

Ideally, you will also have a good knowledge of third sector governance and the issues small organisations face, and be able to advise confidently on a range of queries.

In return, you will get the opportunity to work in a unique organisation - one that delivers both for disabled people and across community services in Barnet.  You'll also find yourself part of a friendly and supportive team, both within Inclusion Barnet and across the Barnet Together partnership.  .

Working 28 hours a week, you will have a certain amount of flexibility as to how you arrange your hours: we don't mind if you want to work four long days or five short ones.  You can work from anywhere in the UK, but an ability to visit our headquarters in Barnet after lockdown would be advantageous. 

This is a fixed term contract until the 20th January 2021 in the first instance, extendable subject to future funding.  The post is funded through the generous support of the National Lottery Community Fund. 

Disabled candidates who demonstrate how they meet all the essential criteria in their application letter willl be guarenteed an interview.  We also particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates, who are currently underrepresented in our organisation. 

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced professional to join the recently formed Young K&C as a Development Manager. A varied role, you will be helping create an innovative new organisation and make a real difference to young people’s lives.

Young K&C is a brand-new charity established to support children and young people in Kensington & Chelsea.  Young K&C is an innovative cross-sector partnership, working with youth clubs, charities, schools, businesses and Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.  

Together we will shape opportunities and create the best services for children and young people in Kensington & Chelsea through supporting and sustaining the children and young people’s sector.

A membership organisation, the Development Manager will help build and manage the membership base and create strong consortia.  You will have tenacity and drive, leading funding applications and working with corporates and individuals to leverage investment.

Young K&C will also be offering small grants to its member charities.  Your role will be to help us develop our grant giving and manage our grant making processes.

We are seeking a passionate and highly skilled individual into an exciting and flexible environment which offers excellent prospects as the charity develops.

Do you have proven experience of building relationships with, and fundraising from, Trusts, Foundations, Lottery or similar bodies? Then join Shelter as a Fundraising Executive - Trusts and Foundations and you could soon be playing a key role in raising vital funds to support our work which is needed more than ever. 

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. And, in the middle of a pandemic, our services have seen demand soar. Thousands more people are facing uncertainty and, as the impact on individual finances and the economy continues to emerge, sadly the number of people facing homelessness is likely to grow. Fundraising have never been more important.  Join us and together we can prevent more people from losing their homes. 

About the Role 
Building and managing relationships with a varied portfolio of trusts and foundations to secure gifts of £5,000 or more is the challenge here. That will include warm, lapsed and new trusts with a variety of funding interests, relationship management needs and application requirements. Accordingly, you’ll need to research, correspond, contact and meet with funders to build relationships ahead of submitting applications. And, for restricted applications, you’ll work with colleagues across Shelter to ensure each application meets our strategic objectives. Ensuring gifts from your portfolio are acknowledged in a timely manner will be important too, as will maintain a positive relationship with funders between applications. Managing regular mailings, sharing knowledge and supporting cross-team projects – all are aspects of this vital income-generating role.

About you 
You’re a passionate fundraiser with a proven track record of working with Trusts, Foundations, Lottery or similar bodies, and you have a thorough understanding of their needs utilising a range of techniques e.g. face-to-face, telephone, in writing etc. Excellent written communications skills are key, as is experience of creating clear, concise, and compelling applications and reports for funders. Confident in your ability to develop meaningful relationships with funders, including meeting them face-to-face to discuss funding opportunities, you're great at managing internal stakeholders too. What’s more, you're proficient using Microsoft Office applications plus Raiser’s Edge or a similar database.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own. 

To find out more about the role and the benefits of working for Shelter please visit our website. Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society. 

Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect.
