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.

About The Felix Project
The Felix Project is London's leading food redistribution charity. We rescue surplus food from businesses, supermarkets, restaurants and farms. This food is nutritious, in-date, and safe – and includes a high proportion of fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. If Felix did not rescue this food, it would be thrown away and wasted. Instead, we deliver it completely free of charge to local charities, schools, food banks, COVID food hubs and other organisations serving people in need. Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly and keyworkers.

We have had celebrity endorsement from the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Jack Whitehall. This winter, we will partner with FareShare to run their London depot independently. By the end of 2020, we plan to have delivered enough food for 20 million meals.

Are you a talented Trust Manager that truly loves dogs? Then this could be the perfect job for you!
We are looking to appoint an outstanding Trust and Foundations Team Manager to expand and increase trust and foundation donations to Dogs Trust Worldwide and Dogs Trust in the UK.
This exciting post has been created to further enhance the success of the charity’s high-performing Trust and Foundations Team and will be responsible for developing strong and enduring relationships with trusts and foundations , with a focus on raising six-figure and multi-year gifts for Dogs Trust Worldwide and to some degree Dogs Trust in the UK.
Our mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. As the largest dog-welfare organisation in the UK, we rehabilitate and rehome over 14,000 stray and abandoned dogs a year at our 21 rehoming centres. Dogs Trust Worldwide is an affiliate charity to Dogs Trust whose aim is to improve the welfare of dogs around the world and protect them from maltreatment, cruelty and suffering.
Based in London and reporting to the Head of Trusts and Foundations, this role is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact on trust and foundation income at Dogs Trust Worldwide and Dogs Trust. The Trust and Foundations Team Manager (Dogs Trust Worldwide) will have responsibility for leading a team of (currently) two Trust Officers. An equivalent Trust and Foundation Team Manager (recently recruited and due to start in coming months) will also manage a team of two Officers and focus on trust fundraising for Dogs Trust.
Successful candidates will be outstanding communicators and have extensive knowledge and experience of trust fundraising. They will be adept at building enduring and fruitful relationships both with staff internally, and externally with trustees, trust correspondents and other key contacts.
Alongside this new Manager role, we are currently recruiting an existing Trust and Foundation Officer post. As a result, the successful candidate may be line managing a new team member. The successful appointee will be an experienced manager and must also, therefore, be used to building rapport and providing supportive team management for a team member who may also be settling into their new role. Ideally as a Manager of a team that will mainly be securing funds for Dogs Trust Worldwide, you will have a highly successful track-record of trust fundraising for international projects.
The people who work for us bring ambition, passion and a determination to succeed in all they do, coupled with warmth, integrity and a sense of fun. The person we are looking for will combine a genuine love for dogs and their welfare with a professional, ambitious and can-do attitude – they will be far sighted and get the job done in a collaborative and engaging way.
We also have a comprehensive benefits package, which includes excellent annual leave and contributions for pensions. If you are a hugely talented Trust Fundraising Manager, passionate about dog welfare and looking for an ambitious career move, then we’re keen to hear from you.
This post will be based in Dogs Trust London Office. (Initially there will be flexibility around location of work including working from home; interim flexible arrangements will be discussed at interview stage).
