Can you help a community organisation reach its potential?

This is an exciting opportunity for a trusts and foundations fundraiser with some experience to shape a new role. The post offers an attractive balance between having the autonomy to work on your own initiative, whilst working closely (and receiving full support from) the CEO,  who is also an experienced fundraiser and member of Chartered Institute of Fundraising. 

You will be responsible for applying for grants for the varied work of the charity and managing relationships with a portfolio of existing funders.  You will work with the CEO to contribute to and shape the organisation’s fundraising strategy, which is likely to involve diversifying our funding strategy into additional types of fundraising. This post would suit a competent trusts and foundation fundraiser with a few years’ experience, who is looking to diversify their fundraising experience into other areas of fundraising (e.g. individual donations, community and event fundraising, or corporate) and grow with this new fundraising department. 

Ascension Community Trust (ACT) is a busy and much-loved local charity. Our current focus is on reducing poverty and improving the health, education and opportunities for the residents of our community.

As a Trusts & Foundations fundraiser you will be responsible for fundraising for a range of ACT’s community projects including Newham District Foodbank (A Trussell Trust foodbank delivered by ACT and two community partners), welfare benefits advice, immigration advice, ESOL classes, work with adults with learning difficulties,  as well as  work with children, young people and their families. 

The role is based in Custom House, Newham, but would be open to homeworking/ hybrid working by negotiation.
