Would you like to be part of a young and vibrant charity that is dedicated to supporting those who have been bereaved by suicide?

We are looking for a Grants and Major Gifts Executive to develop and manage a portfolio of grant-making trusts, foundations, and major donors. Reporting directly to our CEO, you will play a crucial role in helping us to grow our income and support more people.

We are a small, dynamic team, so there is also plenty of scope to get involved with other things and gain an insight into all areas of the charity, with opportunities for growth and development. 

We have really ambitious plans for 2025 and beyond so we’re looking for an individual who has a hands-on approach and a can-do attitude!

About the role

As Grants and Major Gifts Executive you will:

• Develop and implement strategies to secure funding from trusts, foundations, and major donors.

• Identify and research potential funding opportunities aligned with organisational priorities.

• Work closely with the Leadership Team to align funding needs with donor interests or relevant trusts and foundations. 

• Prepare and submit high-quality grant applications and tailored grant applications to prospective funders. 

• Develop and implement a communications strategy for active grant funders, keeping them informed, engaged, and connected to the impact of their support.

• Oversee the reporting requirements of all active grant funders, ensuring timely submission of high-quality reports that demonstrate accountability and impact.

• Collaborate with the internal service team to gather impact data and stories for donor communications and grant applications. 

• Manage relationships with donors of auction and raffle prizes for major fundraising events, ensuring thoughtful stewardship, timely recognition, and securing ongoing support for future campaigns. 

• Track and report on fundraising performance.

• Maintain accurate records of donor interactions and funding outcomes on our CRM.

About you

Based within easy commuting distance of our office in Westminster, our ideal candidate would have a proven track record of securing funding from trusts, foundations, and major donors. 

Key attributes we are looking for include:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A high level of organisation and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• An enthusiasm to learn and to develop knowledge and skills
• Confidence in using digital technology

We are committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and as such are actively seeking candidates of all backgrounds to represent the diverse population of people that we serve.

This role requires eligibility to work in the UK and a Basic DBS check.

Are you passionate about music, inclusion and making a real difference?  The OHMI Trust is looking for someone to lead our Instrument Development programmes.  The heart of our mission is to make music truly inclusive for people with physical impairments and in this role you will be driving forward the development and delivery of adapted musical instruments.  It is creative, purposeful work and we are looking for someone who cares deeply about the impact that music can have.

Our team is looking for someone who lives and breathes our passion as much as we do and will put the work (and the miles) into bringing our mission to life. You will do this through:

• Developing a strategic approach in how we can increase the range of instruments and supportive apparatus available, working with instrument makers and technologists where necessary. 
• Identifying potential entrants for our OHMI Competition, which is where we challenge developers and instrument makers to adapt or create instruments that can be played without the use of one hand and arm.
• Supporting our OHMI Music-makers, a project that works with partner organisations to bring music lessons to individual students or a whole class by providing adapted instruments.
• Making sure we are communicating with our funders and Board of Trustees about our progress and impact.

And as a key member of the team, you will support us in promoting our great work at various key conferences and workshops.

No two days look the same here at the OHMI Trust, but a week could look like this:

· Arranging meetings with student groups working on instrument related engineering projects.

· Joining an online meeting to develop the strategy for overcoming a specific instrument production challenge.

· Writing an application for funding towards the next instrument/piece of equipment that is needed.

Hours: 18.75 per week, but flexible. Some weekend and evening work will be expected, as circumstances and opportunities require. This post is subject to a 6-month probation period.

Location: flexible within the UK – this is a home/remote working role but there will be travel throughout the UK and there is an advantage in being located within easy commuting distance of the West Midlands, where the rest of the staff are currently based.

Deadline for application: 5pm 4th July.  Interview date: 23rd July in person.

Accountable to: OHMI's General Manager and, through her, the Board of Trustees

What we are looking for:

Essential

• A passion for improving inclusion in music-making, including an understanding of the barriers to participation for those with physical disabilities
• Strong organisational skills, including an ability to prioritise workloads effectively, manage multiple tasks and work flexibly as part of a team
• Excellent communication skills, written and verbal, with the ability to adapt style and content to a range of different audiences and contexts
• Familiarity with standard office software (e.g. Microsoft Word and Excel) and an ability to build knowledge of new systems effectively
• Willingness and ability to travel throughout the UK as required for the job (travel expenses covered)

Desirable

• Technical skills - experience of working with instrument makers, designers or manufacturers
• Disability confident - experience of working with people with physical disabilities

If this role sounds like a great fit for you, we would love to hear all about it!  Tell us why you are interested and what skills you can bring to this position by sending a written statement along with your CV to Rachel Wolffsohn.  We will be holding in person interviews on 23rd July in Birmingham so please hold that date in your diary. 

You can find out more about us and our work on our website and if you have any questions about the position, please get in touch with Rachel.

We are a Disability Confident Committed employer and as such commit to offer an interview to all disabled candidates who meet the Essential criteria.
