- Ensure applications and supporting documents are consistent, accurate, and submitted within deadlines
- Coordinate light-touch check-ins, task allocation, and updates (weekly or fortnightly, as agreed)
- Help improve systems and templates so the team can work efficiently (for example trackers, folder structure, and standard wording)
Who we’re looking for
Essential
- Proven experience in fundraising (charity, community interest, education, health, environment, or similar)
- Strong understanding of what makes a successful grant or fundraising case, and how to align it to funder criteria
- Confident leading and supporting a small team, with a collaborative and encouraging style
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to give clear, constructive feedback
- Highly organised, reliable, and comfortable managing multiple deadlines
- Able to commit around 4 hours per week on an ongoing basis
Desirable
- Experience managing a fundraising pipeline or CRM, or maintaining trackers and workflows
- Experience developing fundraising strategy and prioritisation
- Familiarity with UK trusts and foundations, corporate giving, or community fundraising
What you’ll get in return

- A reference after an agreed period of consistent volunteering (where appropriate)
