- Lead on the bespoke stewardship and engagement of newly identified 5-6 figure + Trusts and Foundations prospects and ensure that submission deadlines are met, and reporting schedules observed.
- Work with the P&TF team to deliver our annual Christmas Appeal – to include the development of the P&TF Christmas Appeal 2025, deliver the annual Christmas Appeal Launch event, and optimize the use of social medial and other platforms to reach potential new funders over the Christmas period and beyond.
- Work with the P&TF team to develop the high value offering for the 100 Anniversary appeal 2026.

- A strong record of securing and managing major Trust and Foundation partnerships, including six-figure grants.
- Demonstrable experience of building tailored cases for support to a range of funders
- Experience of collaborating with internal teams in the creation of funding proposals and reports.
- Experience engaging with senior stakeholders, including trustees and high-level volunteers.
- Experience of balancing managing relationships with high value funders, managing expectations and negotiating challenges.
