As an organisation, we pride ourselves on openness, commitment to our clients, and supporting each other. Many of us enjoy the benefits of flexible working, and our staff turnover is remarkably low – which some attribute to being part of a pretty extraordinary, non-political, warm working culture.
Our Fundraising team has developed strong relationships over recent years with many of our regular trust donors, such as BBC Children in Need, the National Lottery Community Fund and the Joseph Levy Foundation.
With a newly appointed CEO, who is committed to growing the charity’s fundraising capacity and income from the current £500,000 to £1 million in the next few years, we are now looking for someone to join us on the next stage of our important journey.

S/he will be able to manage the prospecting and relationship management in full, from researching potential grant-makers, submitting applications, delivering evaluations, and keeping in regular contact with our donors.
We’re looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to the lives of people with autism – and who will be proud to see the real impact they’re able to make.
Key qualities we are looking for are a proactive candidate, with the ability to show attention to detail, demonstrate analytical and critical thinking as well as a knack to process information at a fast pace.
Key Responsibilities
- Research potential new funders and tailor project/core funding information
- Submit compelling grant applications, supported by compelling hard and soft data
- With support from the Head of Income, plan and deliver events for prospective and current trust supporters
- Build relationships with funders, through regular communication and face-to-face meetings where possible
- Work closely with colleagues from across the organisation to check that information is kept updated, and to ensure that financials are accurate
- Communicate with Finance about anticipated income
- Work with senior volunteers on donor approaches and ensure these approaches are well-coordinated
Essential Experience
- At least two years’ experience of successfully securing income for charities, ideally from trusts and foundations
- A demonstrable track record of securing grants of min. £20,000, and ideally multi-year grants
- Outstanding writing and communication skills
- Ability to understand financial language and budgets
- Strong research and prospecting skills
- Capacity to build excellent relationships with key stakeholders, both internally and externally
- Experience of measuring impact and delivering evaluation reports
Application: To apply, please send a maximum two-page covering letter and your CV to our Head of Workforce.
