We need to raise more funds to reach these ambitious targets and the Trust, Statutory and Lottery Team will be central to this, delivering £2.5m a year.

Join us

A fantastic opportunity has opened up in the team for a Trust Fundraiser. You might have some fundraising experience or transferable skills that you have developed elsewhere. We’re looking for a good communicator; spoken and written. Someone who is able to convey to funders what Whizz-Kidz does, what young people want and how we support them to achieve their goals. Attention to detail is key, as is the ability to manage your time and prioritise your work. We have two prospect researchers in the team, allowing you to focus on fundraising.

• You’ll have a prospect pool of at least 100 trusts to move through the pipeline:

  • Some larger trusts capable of giving more than £20,000
• Stewarding trusts, ensuring they’re receiving reports and other communication relevant to their support
• Opportunities to support larger – six-figure – bids, with the aim of working on these on your own in the future
• Working with staff across the organisation to ensure applications and reports have the latest information
• The opportunity to sit on Whizz-Kidz committees that help us to work better with young people.

If it sounds daunting, don’t worry. There are six other people in the team to support you and help you develop your skills as a trust fundraiser. There’s also a further 17 friendly fundraisers spread across our Corporate, Major Donor, Events, Legacy, Individual Giving, Data and Community Teams all regularly sharing what they’re up to and working to support young people.

Although, if you’d prefer to spend more time working from home, then we offer flexible working patterns; some members of the team are only in the office one-day a week. Oh, and it’s a 35 hour working week.

Job Scope

The IPFO-TF is based within the International Programme Funding and Business Innovation Unit. (IFBI) S/he leads on establishing, maintaining and strengthening relationships with key global and/or UK-based Trusts and Foundations; developing and driving donor funding engagement strategies; leading on proposal development and contract management; identifying new funding opportunities and fostering innovation and shared learning among colleagues and partners, including through the programme funding Community of Practice.

Are you a champion of social justice? Someone who holds equity and inclusion at the core of their values? Do you believe that London is a great city, but that we are failing in our collective responsibility to make it a safe and great place to be for all young people, no matter their start or circumstances? If so, we might have just the job for you.

Across London, 4,000 young people have been groomed or coerced into County Lines drug trafficking, there has been a 60% increase in hospital admissions for assaults with sharp objects, and 1/20 children and young people have been the victim of sexual abuse or exploitation. The overwhelming response by state institutions has been to position this as an issue of criminal rather than social justice.

We believe that all young Londoners deserve to fulfil their potential and to live without fear, to live lives dictated by their choices and not their circumstances.

What we do

Safer London is a leading London-wide charity working with young Londoners and their families who are affected by violence and exploitation in the capital.

With a footprint in every London borough, we build trusting, professional partnerships with statutory, charitable, and community partners to provide specialised one-to-one support and targeted group work.

Young Londoners tell us how they’ve experienced traumatic events. Things that many of us just couldn’t comprehend. Our individual, relational, and trauma informed support aims to ensure that more young Londoners feel safer, are safer, and go on to have positive futures.

To date, we’ve helped tens of thousands of young people escape the threat of gangs, County Lines exploitation, sexual violence, and abuse, and we’re not done yet. Through our work with young Londoners, their families, peers, and communities, our vision is to create a safer London for everyone.

What we’re looking for

The work we do has never had more political and social impetus behind it, and we need to scale up our funding portfolio to take advantage of these opportunities, as well as diversifying our income portfolio to ensure long-term sustainability.

While we have strong relationships with the likes of the City Bridge Trust and the Garfield Weston Foundation, our trusts portfolio has grown organically and currently only represents 9.5% (£285k) of our total income.

There is a huge opportunity for us across trusts and foundations, with many potential partners having already expressed interest in our work. We are looking for someone who can help us to map the current T&F donor market, put in place the systems and processes needs to support good trust and foundation fundraising, and begin to build strategic relationships with funders.

We don’t believe in prescriptive person specifications as they limit the diversity of experience on our teams. If you have experience in the following broad areas, we would be keen to speak with you:

• Social Reformer: It’s no secret that many of the issues we tackle have an overt racial element across the capital. We’re looking for someone with social justice at the core of their personal values, someone who places equity and inclusion at the centre of everything they do. We amplify the voices of the unheard and build our fundraising strategy around them.
   
• System Builder: This is an opportunity for you to build trust fundraising from the ground up, taking what you’ve seen done well and badly and building a best-practice system.
   
• T&F Prowess: If you’ve got considerable experience of raising funds from trusts and foundations and have consistently demonstrated an ability to grow income, we want to hear from you. Whether this is growing £2m to £3m, or £20k to £30k, we understand that it’s relative and are looking for achievement-focused fundraisers.
   
• Perfect Planner: Leading on a new income stream, a young, growing organisation requires someone who can spin multiple plates and manage competing priorities. If you thrive in a busy environment and can maintain strong communication levels when the pressure is on, this could be the role for you.

What we can offer

• You will be working in a collaborative, non-hierarchical environment where all voices are heard, and you will get to be part of the big decisions and input into organisational direction.
   
• You’ll be respected for your expertise and have the freedom to develop trust and foundation funding strategies that you feel are most effective.
   
• We are disruptors, a pioneer who goes against the grain. We look at crime statistics and see a minority who are suffering and have been maligned, not a majority who need protecting from them. If you want to be part of a team who are resetting the social justice paradigm, there isn’t anywhere better to be.

If you think that you’re the person to help us change the face of London forever, we would love to hear from you.
