Join our team at Guide Dogs
We’re looking for a motivated and skilled Statutory and Trusts Funding Officer to join our collaborative and forward-thinking team. If you have experience securing income from statutory, trusts, or lottery funders and are looking for a meaningful role where you can make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing and managing funding relationships with statutory and lottery bodies and charitable trusts. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, from frontline service teams to senior leadership, to support the development of a strong funding pipeline that helps secure both in-year and multi-year grants.
To be successful, you’ll need to have experience in securing and managing funding from statutory or lottery sources, including multi-year grants. You should be confident in writing compelling proposals and clear, effective reports, with strong verbal and written communication skills. A keen eye for detail, the ability to manage competing priorities, and experience in monitoring and reporting on grants are also essential.
Why join us?
At Guide Dogs, we believe that everyone with sight loss should be able to live the life they choose. This role offers the chance to contribute to that mission in a practical and rewarding way. You’ll join a small, experienced team at a pivotal moment in our growth and at the beginning of our new organisational strategy, Forward Together.
No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.
We value face-to-face collaboration, so while the role offers hybrid working, you’ll need to be able to travel to a Guide Dogs site one or two days per week.
Most team meetings take place in Reading or at our National Centre near Warwick, so being within reach of one of these locations is preferred.
For the complete list of essential and desirable criteria please view the job description attached to this advert. The Statutory and Trusts Marketing Officer is known at The Guide Dogs as Statutory Grants and Trusts Officer.
