The Trusts and Foundations Manager will play a vital role in supporting New Horizon Youth Centre’s mission by managing and growing a portfolio of valued trusts, foundations and statutory supporters. Last year, the organisation raised £4.5million, with £1.7million secured from trusts and foundations and £1.8million from statutory funders. In this role, you will focus on deepening relationships to secure meaningful, long-term support for our vital work with young people facing homelessness. 

If you're looking to expand your fundraising portfolio and gain hands-on experience securing six and seven figure gifts, this is the place to do it. We’ve already secured nearly 70% of our budget this year, and we’re just getting started. Whether you’re ambitious about raising serious money, developing strategic funding bids, or stepping up to the next level in your fundraising career, this is a rare opportunity to make a big impact and learn a lot while doing it. This will be a highly rewarding yet demanding position, where your expertise will directly contribute to making a real and lasting difference to the lives of young Londoners who find themselves homeless.

This is a senior grant making role within the Grants and Programmes team in the Global Programmes Directorate, requiring excellent experience of people management, strategic leadership and good grant making practice.

The successful postholder should be comfortable making proposals, suggesting alternative approaches and solutions, supporting the contributions of others, and advancing the collective interests of a team. They should also be comfortable working with considerable scope, and complexity and nurturing relationships with colleagues and external partners as an integral element of the role. The successful postholder should be able to develop and maintain effective relationships with stakeholders, to pose and field questions of considerable complexity and sensitivity and use discretion in carrying out a constructive and effective dialogue; they will be comfortable with proposing ideas, engaging in productive debate, supporting the contributions of others, and in other ways advancing Battersea’s strategic interests.
