Resources for Autism: Job Description
Job Title: Senior Trusts Fundraiser
Hours: Full Time, with the option of flexible working
Reporting to: Head of Income
Working alongside: Part time Fundraiser
Location: London/West Midlands base, remote working.
Salary: Up to £33,000 (depending on experience)
Resources for Autism: An Introduction
For 25 years, we have provided practical support to people on the spectrum and to those who love and care for them. From 1:1 support, to music/art therapy, from parent and sibling groups to holiday play schemes, we aim to give those whom we support a better and happier life.
As an organisation, we pride ourselves on openness, commitment to our clients, and supporting each other. Many of us enjoy the benefits of flexible working, and our staff turnover is remarkably low – which some attribute to being part of a pretty extraordinary, non-political, warm working culture.
Our Fundraising team has developed strong relationships over recent years with many of our regular trust donors, such as BBC Children in Need, the National Lottery Community Fund and the Joseph Levy Foundation.
With a newly appointed CEO, who is committed to growing the charity’s fundraising capacity and income from the current £500,000 to £1 million in the next few years, we are now looking for someone to join us on the next stage of our important journey.
The Senior Trusts Fundraiser Role
This is a newly created role, which has been developed in response to our recently developed fundraising strategy. Reporting into the Head of Income, and working closely with the whole office team – particularly the CEO and ‘service providers’ (those who directly support our clients), the post-holder will initially focus on trust and foundation fundraising, and in the future expand their remit into major gifts. S/he will be able to manage the prospecting and relationship management in full, from researching potential grant-makers, submitting applications, delivering evaluations, and keeping in regular contact with our donors.
We’re looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to the lives of people with autism – and who will be proud to see the real impact they’re able to make.
Key qualities we are looking for are a proactive candidate, with the ability to show attention to detail, demonstrate analytical and critical thinking as well as a knack to process information at a fast pace.
Key Responsibilities
- Research potential new funders and tailor project/core funding information
- Submit compelling grant applications, supported by compelling hard and soft data
- With support from the Head of Income, plan and deliver events for prospective and current trust supporters
- Build relationships with funders, through regular communication and face-to-face meetings where possible
- Work closely with colleagues from across the organisation to check that information is kept updated, and to ensure that financials are accurate
- Communicate with Finance about anticipated income
- Work with senior volunteers on donor approaches and ensure these approaches are well-coordinated
Essential Experience
- At least two years’ experience of successfully securing income for charities, ideally from trusts and foundations
- A demonstrable track record of securing grants of min. £20,000, and ideally multi-year grants
- Outstanding writing and communication skills
- Ability to understand financial language and budgets
- Strong research and prospecting skills
- Capacity to build excellent relationships with key stakeholders, both internally and externally
- Experience of measuring impact and delivering evaluation reports
Application: To apply, please send a maximum two-page covering letter and your CV to our Head of Workforce.
Deadline for applications: 31st January 2021
Interviews will be held online due to the current situation; we will be flexible given potential issues around childcare and illness.
Interviews will take place the week beginning 8th February.
Post holder to begin week beginning 15th March subject to satisfactory references and DBS check.

Population Matters is looking for an experienced Senior Campaigner to play a key role in achieving our vision of a future in which a stable human population co-exists in harmony with nature and a healthy planet.
The Senior Campaigner will be a role model and driver of success in our four-person Campaigns and Communications team. You will help shape our policies and strategy, but most important of all will relish the responsibility of delivering designated campaigns to a high professional standard, with support from the Head of Campaigns but a great deal of independence. This role requires at least three years’ campaigning experience, or similar, in the charity/NGO sector.
Population Matters has no central office - the role is home-based and, in line with our strategy of increasing Population Matters’ global reach, you may be based in any country. Flexibility in working hours can be negotiated for overseas candidates but you will be expected to regularly meet and work directly with colleagues during UK working hours. Being self-motivated, disciplined and able to work on your own initiative and virtually is therefore a key requirement for this role. Some travel may be required (expenses paid).
Your successful track record as a campaigner will show your in-depth understanding of the process of developing effective campaigns, and how to implement and adapt them in changing circumstances. You are adept at establishing and developing great stakeholder relationships, and confident in representing your organisation at events, at meetings and in the media. You are sensitive to the challenges and opportunities of developing and managing relationships with individuals and organisations internationally. You also have the analytical and communication skills needed to bring our message home to audiences of all kinds, including the ability to write authoritative and impactful reports, lobbying material and other communications.
Most importantly, you are passionate about protecting our planet, securing global justice, empowering people and communicating our positive message. You will be tackling challenging issues and obstacles, including institutional inertia, entrenched views, and sometimes suspicion of the population agenda. You will need to be flexible, creative, committed and dogged, and you’ll be working in a supportive, committed team where those skills will be shared and valued.
About Us
Population Matters (PM) is a UK-based charity working globally to achieve a sustainable future for people and planet.
Our Vision is a future in which a stable human population co-exists in harmony with nature and prospers on a healthy planet, to the benefit of all.
Our Mission is to drive positive, large-scale action through fostering choices that help achieve a sustainable human population and regenerate our environment.
Our Approach is to campaign, inform, lobby, undertake research and do all we can to encourage an open, fair-minded and constructive debate about population. We promote positive, practical, ethical solutions – encouraging smaller families, inspiring people to consume sustainably, with the aim of enabling everyone to enjoy a decent quality of life whilst respecting and sustaining the natural ecosystems upon which all life on earth depends.
We believe everyone should have the freedom and ability to choose a smaller family. We support human rights, women’s empowerment and global justice.
OUR CURRENT CONTEXT
From three employees in 2016 to 10 in 2020, Population Matters has grown its team and ambitions significantly in the last few years. Our goal is ‘Take PM Global’ over the next 3-5 years, extending our reach and impact globally, strengthening existing partnerships and forging new ones, and influencing and effecting change through international policy forums and processes. In developing these new relationships and activities, we will be respectful, sensitive and willing to learn from our partners and other stakeholders. We will maintain a truly global perspective, whilst in parallel, we will continue to enable individuals and communities to make informed choices at the personal and grassroots level.
Join our campaigns team
We have a positive story to tell, and much to achieve. Growing human population is one of the most important drivers of our environmental crisis and in many parts of the world, is holding people back from leading the lives they deserve to lead. Alongside reckless and unsustainable consumption, the billions we’ve added to our numbers in the last few decades are punishing our planet. Multiple scientific studies and international reports repeatedly affirm that it must be tackled if we’re to contain environmental crises such as the climate emergency and the sixth mass extinction. Meanwhile, from poverty to patriarchy, population is inextricably linked with some of our gravest economic and social global justice issues.
The good news is that the solutions are all positive:
- Eradicate poverty and inequality
- Empower women and girls
- Provide a proper education for all
- Ensure everyone is free and able to use modern family planning
- Promote the benefits of smaller families
Population is far from the only driver of our current environmental crisis, and Population Matters supports multiple solutions to address it. Our role, however, is to highlight this one, and help it assume its proper place on the policy agenda. We are not just the only registered charity addressing this issue in the UK, we are the largest and most effective campaigning organisation on population internationally.
Leveraging scientific consensus and public concern to achieve change is our challenge, and our opportunity. We need an ambitious, capable and brave campaigner, willing to tackle inertia, misunderstanding and prejudice, forge positive relationships with friends and allies, and find effective ways of promoting the effective, ethical solutions that will empower people, improve lives, protect our planet and help achieve global justice.
Salary Range and Terms and Conditions
UK based: Salary range: £30-35,000pa; 6% employer’s pension contribution
Contractor status on suitable terms will be considered for overseas candidates
Population Matters is a virtual organisation and the position is home-based, with regular meetings by video and, where possible, in person with other members of the team. Some travel within (for UK-post holders), to, and/or outside the UK is likely (expenses paid). The role is offered on a full-time basis, but we are willing to consider other arrangements in certain circumstances.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Population Matters is an inclusive and diversity-friendly employer. We value difference, promote equality and challenge discrimination, enhancing our organisational capability. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age or any other category protected by law.
Please apply by submitting a CV and covering letter (no more than 500 words) via CharityJobs

About the Trade Justice Movement
The Trade Justice Movement is a UK coalition of organisations advocating for trade justice, including trade unions, aid agencies, environment and human rights campaigns.
TJM has led advocacy on issues including the privileges offered to investors, democratic scrutiny of trade agreements and the impact of trade deals on climate change and the environment. We play an important role in supporting politicians, the media and other civil society organisations in developing their understanding of and ability to engage in trade debates.
Following the Brexit vote, international trade became a key focus for government and the media. The UK has a unique opportunity to develop trade policy which is aligned with climate goals.

- Support TJM’s influencing work within key civil service departments including Cabinet Office, BEIS, DIT and Defra and with the aim of influencing the UK’s approach to COP26 and beyond.
Working with a small team, you will need both a strong ability to develop innovative approaches in the areas identified, manage your time and work plan and to be proactive in developing networks. This is an exciting opportunity to make a big impact as the UK develops its independent trade policy and hosts COP26.

- Build TJM’s media profile and networks, including through regular press releases, developing opportunities to place opinion pieces, and increasing TJM’s social media presence.
- Establish effective, regular communications with member and partner organisations.
- Maintain TJM’s web content on this issue.
Convening Civil Society Organisations
- Provide opportunities for civil society organisations to collaborate and advocate in this area, including through regular meetings, joint letters and engagement with civil service departments.
- Organise a number of seminars and briefing meetings for TJM members to build civil society capacity on trade and climate change.
- Work with the Senior Adviser to engage with existing climate change forums.
Institutional Engagement
- Develop and maintain relationships with key UK civil service departments including Cabinet Office, BEIS, DIT and Defra.
- Where appropriate, identify and engage with other international institutions, this might include the WTO, the UN or the OECD.
- Work with other team members to respond to opportunities to engage including consultation responses, meetings and online forums.
- Track preparations for COP26 and highlight opportunities to influence the process, as well as the UK’s broader trade and climate policies.
Monitoring and Evaluation
- Establish and maintain good monitoring systems against project aims.
Hours of work: Full time - flexible working can be discussed with the line manager
This role reports to: TJM Senior Adviser
