We are looking for a fundraising manager whose core strengths are trusts and foundations fundraising, major donor cultivation, and excellent proposal writing.
The NCTJ is the guardian of the gold standard in journalism training.

You will have the autonomy to shape the grants and major donor pipeline.

- Excellent proposal and case for support writing skills
- Experience working with major donors/high net worth supporters (or strong transferable relationship-led fundraising experience)

Benefits
- Salary c £40,000 (£37,000-£43,000) depending on experience
- Pension: 5% employer and 5% employee contribution
- Annual leave of 25 days plus bank holidays
- Discretionary bonus based on company performance
- Life cover
- Training and career development
How to apply
Please apply with your CV and a supporting statement (maximum 1,000 words total) addressing the following:
- Trusts and foundations track record (300 words)
Describe one trust or foundation grant of £30,000+ that you personally led. Include who the funder was, what the project was, how you shaped the proposal to meet their criteria, and the outcome. - Proposal writing approach (250 words)
When starting a new funding application, what are the first five things you do before you begin writing? Please be specific. - Working with senior stakeholders and impact information (250 words)
Give an example of how you worked with colleagues, senior leaders or contacts to gather the information needed for a funding proposal or donor meeting.

About the NCTJ
The National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) is the charity at the heart of journalism education and training in the UK. We are the guardian of the gold standard in journalism training and qualifications, and we champion equality, diversity and inclusion so that journalism is accessible to people from all backgrounds.
Through charitable initiatives including the Journalism Diversity Fund and the Community Reporting Fund, we widen participation in journalism, support community reporting, and strengthen trusted journalism at a time when misinformation and public scepticism make high professional standards more important than ever.
NCTJ is financially stable and widely respected within the industry. However, diversifying and growing charitable income is a strategic priority for 2026–27. We have developed our first fundraising strategy to support sustainable growth and impact, and this role is central to delivering it.
Purpose of the role
This is a specialist role focused on securing and stewarding funding from trusts and foundations and developing a pipeline of major donors and high net worth supporters, underpinned by exceptional proposal writing and strong relationship management.
Corporate partnerships are led primarily by the head of business development. This role will support corporate fundraising through proposal/case development and stewardship where needed, but the primary focus is securing charitable grants and major donors.
Key responsibilities

- Confidently communicate the NCTJ’s purpose and impact through presentations, reports, and digital content and represent the NCTJ at meetings and events, both virtually and in person.
- Build and maintain strong funder relationships, ensuring excellent stewardship, timely reporting and opportunities for renewal and uplift.
2) Major donor / high net worth giving
- Work with the senior team to identify major donor prospects through networks and sector connections.
- Undertake proportionate prospect research and build a high-quality cultivation pipeline.
- Create tailored donor proposals and impact statements that support donor interests while advancing NCTJ priorities.
- Support cultivation meetings with briefs, materials, follow-up and stewardship plans, tracking all activity in CRM.
3) Impact, storytelling and stewardship
- Work closely with programme and communications colleagues to gather impact data, case studies and beneficiary stories to strengthen proposals and reporting.
- Develop and deliver a clear plan for thanking trusts and major donors, keeping them updated on impact, and staying in regular contact.
- Use NCTJ events and industry milestones as stewardship and cultivation opportunities, coordinating targeted follow-up and relationship management.
4) Systems, reporting and evaluation
- Maintain excellent data quality and discipline in HubSpot CRM, including prospect stage, relationship owner, next actions, submissions, reporting deadlines and contact history.
- Produce clear pipeline and performance reports for the HoBD/chief executive (eg, submissions, conversion rates, forecast, learning and next steps).
- Contribute to quarterly review sessions to evaluate progress and refine approach.
5) Collaborative working
- Build strong working relationships across the charity and its stakeholders to translate NCTJ’s work into fundable propositions and well managed projects ensuring effective delivery of programmes through cross functional collaboration.
- Bring innovative and creative concepts to the team, and develop valuable programmes and initiatives which add to the NCTJ’s new income stream.
- Contribute to shared messaging that reflects NCTJ’s mission: high standards, quality, trusted journalism, accessibility and measurable EDI impact.
