Founded in 2004, Sabre Education is a leading and award-winning early childhood education international NGO. We work in close partnership with the Government of Ghana to deliver universal access to quality pre-primary education and our aim is to give every child the best possible start through quality early years education.
Kindergarten education, for children aged four and five, was introduced in Ghana nationally in 2007. Whilst a great achievement, equivalent gains have not been made in the quality of education, meaning young children are still experiencing poor learning outcomes at a critical stage of their development.
Our mission is to support Ghana in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4.2 – universal access to quality early childhood education. In partnership with the Ghanaian Government and two other INGOs, we are on the cusp of implementing a programme to roll out our teacher training on a national scale. To support this, we are recruiting a Senior Institutional and Trusts Manager to work closely with our Director of Fundraising and Communications in the delivery of our fundraising strategy, building long-term relationships with institutional and trust funders and inspiring them to support our work.
About you:
We are seeking an experienced institutional fundraiser, ideally with experience in trust fundraising and a passion for the power of education, to join our team and develop our institutional and larger trust fundraising income. You will have demonstrable experience and success in securing funding from institutional funders including bilateral and multilateral. Experience in partnership working with other INGOs would be beneficial, although not essential. Line management experience is also desirable, as this role will manage a small team.
We offer a supportive and collaborative team culture. The role is completely home-based, with the cost of occasional travel to team and donor meetings covered. This role has a lot of responsibility and an opportunity to experience new things. We hope you’re excited by that.
We plan to interview on 12th December, so if you are interested please contact our recruitment partners at Peridot Partners to discuss this role in detail.

The Trusts & Statutory Fundraising Manager is a new role within our organisation, created to reflect our commitment to sustainable growth and development of our advice services across North and West Kent. There is considerable scope to develop the role into your own.
We are ideally looking for a full-time person (35 hours per week) although we are very open to part-time requests and applicants looking for a compressed working week or other flexible working arrangements.
Depending on your preference, we are happy for the role to be office-based, hybrid or fully remote. We have 6 offices across North and West Kent but are very happy to consider applications from candidates living anywhere in the UK.
About Citizens Advice in North and West Kent (CANWK):
CANWK is an independent charity affiliated to national Citizens Advice, supporting a population of over 650,000 people across Dartford, Gravesham, Sevenoaks, Swanley, Tonbridge & Malling and Tunbridge Wells districts in Kent. We are a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation, working proactively to deliver a wide range of high-quality advice services across the area to give people the knowledge and confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are and whatever their problem.
Faced with ever increasing demand for our advice, we have embraced innovative ways to engage with hard-to-reach people in our community and to maximise the impact of our limited resources. Last year we helped almost 17,000 clients to find solutions to their problems, build the knowledge needed to avoid problems in the future and feel empowered to resolve issues on their own.
As a local charity with an annual income over £1.7million (primarily from trusts and statutory sources) we have a strong track record for you to build upon, with current multi-year projects funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, Kent County Council, our 5 local authorities and several significant charitable trusts and foundations.
The role:
The Trusts & Statutory Fundraising Manager will be working closely with the CANWK senior management team and be responsible for implementing strategies to secure new funding from trusts, foundations, and statutory bodies.
You will identify new potential partnerships and bidding opportunities and create compelling proposals to attract funding for both unrestricted income and targeted projects. You will take a project management approach to developing applications and proposals where necessary – bringing together the input of others in CANWK (eg. senior management team, advice team managers and finance) whilst meeting deadlines. You will also lead on a range of existing secured grants and undertake grant management and funder stewardship to ensure we maintain excellent funder relations and secure opportunities for repeat funding.
As an organisation wholly reliant on charitable donations, you will play a vital role in keeping the charity financially sustainable through these most challenging times for both us and our clients. With demand for our advice higher than ever, you will be able to see a clear correlation between your work and the positive impacts for our clients.
What we are looking for:
- Experience of successful trust and statutory fundraising and writing high quality, winning funding applications and proposals.
- Experience of securing high five and six figure, multi-year funding packages.
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messages to different audiences.
- Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building and project management skills.
- Experience in cultivating strong relationships with funders, including preparing focussed progress reports.
- A self-motivated, proactive and professional approach to your work.

About the role
This is a new role within the Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships team responsible for developing and leading our major donor programme. Myeloma UK is embarking on an ambitious five-year income generation strategy, which aims to increase income from £5m to £10m by 2028. This position will play a critical role, working alongside the Head of Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships to double the income we raise from major donors and family trusts by securing 5-6 figure grants for a range of innovative and life changing programmes – including patient and family support, research and advocacy. The Philanthropy Manager is also responsible for managing and supporting the Philanthropy Officer in securing mid to high level donations from individuals.
The major donor programme at Myeloma UK is established - we have a strong community of existing high-level supporters and have identified significant potential donors within our community - but these opportunities have not been fully leveraged in the past. Building on this foundation, and a major fundraising Gala planned for Spring 2024, there is a significant opportunity to transform this area of fundraising and this role will be instrumental in delivering a step change in our approach. The role requires outstanding relationship building skills, and the ability to work with high-net-worth individuals, to build credibility and trust and inspire them to support Myeloma UK.
About you
You will be an experienced major donor fundraiser with the ability to secure 5-6 figure gifts and lead others to do the same. You will be a strategic thinker, who is ready to lead and implement our major donor strategy alongside the Head of Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships.
We need someone with exceptional relationship management skills with the ability to nurture high value relationships and also work closely with senior colleagues, Trustees and other volunteers to build deep and long-lasting donor relationships. It will be crucial to work closely with colleagues across the charity to identify fundraising priorities, develop fundraising propositions and involve them in the cultivation and stewardship of key relationships.

Percival is excited to be working exclusively with Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) in its search for a new Corporate Development Manager. In this newly created position, the postholder will be responsible for driving new business and nurturing partnerships particularly within the financial services sector whilst influencing key audiences and stakeholders to help grow and diversify SEA’s income.
At Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA), the team tackles one of society’s biggest issues. One in six women reports that a former or current partner has controlled or is controlling their economic resources – money and the things it can buy such as food, clothing, transportation, and housing. Through economic control, abusers limit women’s freedoms, they steal their futures, and, in far too many cases, they take their lives. Yet too few people are aware of economic abuse – even those who experience it.
Title: Corporate Development Manager
Salary: £36,000 per annum
Working Pattern: Full Time
Contract Type: Permanent
Location: Home-based (with a willingness to regularly travel into London and other major financial hubs as required and expenses paid)
