· Ensure all relevant information relating to Trusts, Foundations, Lottery and grant applications is recorded promptly and accurately onto CTSEW’s CRM systems

· Monitor performance of fundraising activity and report regularly to different audiences including our board of trustees

Management and development

· To be an active member of CTSEW, contributing ideas and opinions to support organisational development

· Share and support fundraising knowledge across our teams and services

· Support the organisation in wider funding applications where appropriate

· Support marketing across the organisation where appropriate

General

· To comply with the Code of Practice and Code of Conduct for employees

· To contribute to the organisation’s public profile and influence / foster good relations with statutory and voluntary bodies

· To carry out all duties in a professional and polite manner and in line with our values:

Open - We will always be honest and open in everything we do

Fearless - We will not be afraid to make difficult decisions, to challenge opinions and attitudes, and make sure carers rights are protected

Innovative - We will lead by example, we will not accept the status quo, we will be flexible in our approach and we will be pioneers in our field
