Bringing hope and help to the homeless.

Robes is a small but mighty charity tackling homelessness across Southwark and Lambeth. Working with over 600 volunteers, churches and community partners, we deliver life-changing services to vulnerable people on the streets.

In winter, we run emergency night shelters. Year-round, our Wednesday Club offers hot meals, showers and support. We provide up to six months of floating support to help guests secure sustainable accommodation and find employment or training.

We've generated around £1.9 million from private sector funding over seven years – evidence of genuine impact and donor confidence. Now we're entering an exciting growth phase. In 2027, we celebrate our 20th anniversary, presenting an incredible opportunity to expand our reach and attract new supporters.

Why Join

You'll work with a warm, values-driven team committed to tackling homelessness. Your fundraising directly enables us to provide shelter and hope to vulnerable people. This isn't a bureaucracy – you'll have real influence on strategy and growth. You'll build meaningful relationships with trusts, foundations, corporate partners and major donors, and you'll see the impact – meet someone who came off the streets, found employment, rebuilt their life. That's what you'll enable.

Our 20th anniversary in 2027 creates perfect momentum for campaign fundraising and corporate engagement. The Board is invested in growth. There's a genuine appetite for fundraising excellence and strategic expansion. You're joining at exactly the right moment.

About You

You're an experienced Fundraiser with a track record securing grants and managing relationships with trusts, foundations and major donors. You're strategic and thorough – you understand relationship-building, can write compelling applications, and articulate impact clearly.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the confidence to engage and build relationships with stakeholders and partners at the highest level.
• A keen eye for detail and ability to analyse complex data and research findings to extrapolate key messages to craft compelling cases for support or to communicate the impact of interventions.
• The ability to present complex information in the most appropriate format tailored to the specific audience.

The Role

You'll lead fundraising strategy across multiple income streams, focusing on trusts, foundations, corporate partnerships and major donors. You'll manage the full fundraising cycle from research and relationship-building through stewardship.

Reporting to the Chief Executive, you’ll execute our new fundraising strategy, support our growth plans, research funding opportunities, write strong grant applications, manage a pipeline of major donor prospects, plan our 20th anniversary campaign, and provide quarterly progress reports.

With three days a week focused on foundation and corporate partnerships work, a full-time role would typically include one day on legacy work and one day on community events.

You bring at least three years' fundraising experience, ideally in a charity setting. You're skilled at grant writing, relationship management and strategic planning. You have excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills. You're proactive, flexible and genuinely motivated by mission.

What We Offer

Competitive salary plus 25 days holiday, pension contributions and flexible working. You'll be part of a warm team with direct access to leadership and real influence over strategy. You'll work for an organisation with proven impact as well as:

• Employee Assistance Programme
