Resources for Autism: Job Description

Job Title: Senior Trusts Fundraiser

Hours: Full Time, with the option of flexible working

Reporting to: Head of Income

Working alongside: Part time Fundraiser

Location: London/West Midlands base, remote working.

Salary: Up to £33,000 (depending on experience)

Resources for Autism: An Introduction

For  25 years, we have provided practical support to people on the spectrum and to those who love and care for them. From 1:1 support, to music/art therapy, from parent and sibling groups to holiday play schemes, we aim to give those whom we support a better and happier life.

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.

The  Senior Trusts Fundraiser Role

This is a newly created role, which has been developed in response to our recently developed fundraising strategy. Reporting into the Head of Income, and working closely with the whole office team – particularly the CEO and ‘service providers’ (those who directly support our clients), the post-holder will initially focus on trust and foundation fundraising, and in the future expand their remit into major gifts. 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.

Deadline for applications: 31st January 2021

Interviews will be held online due to the current situation; we will be flexible given potential issues around childcare and illness.

Are you a bright and enthusiastic Fundraising professional with a passion for dogs? Dogs Trust is looking to appoint a permanent Trust and Foundations Officer to work in their London Head Office.

The successful candidates will apply their energy and enthusiasm and make an enormous difference to dogs in need, using their first-class skills to prepare inspiring and original applications in pursuit of trusts and foundation gifts up to and including the six-figure level. 

Our mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. As the largest dog-welfare organisation in the UK, we rehabilitate and rehome over 14,000 stray and abandoned dogs a year at our 21 rehoming centres. Dogs Trust Worldwide is an affiliate charity to Dogs Trust whose aim is to improve the welfare of dogs around the world and protect them from maltreatment, cruelty and suffering.

After a highly successful couple of years, the team is expanding, with the recent addition of two Team Manager roles which are also currently being advertised.  The new Trust and Foundations Officer and the Trust and Foundations Officer (maternity cover) role will join this enlarged team, working alongside existing Officers and reporting into one of the new Trust and Foundations Team Manager positions. Both teams will be based in London, with one team fundraising solely for Dogs Trust and other team focused mainly on securing funds for Dogs Trust Worldwide (but also for Dogs Trust to some degree). 

To succeed in this role, you will have a demonstrable track record of securing grants from charitable trusts and foundations, well-developed written and verbal communication skills and, above all, be a strong, positive team player committed to the aims and values of Dogs Trust.

You will have exceptional attention to detail and a strong aptitude for writing creative narrative that will ensure our applications stand out when being assessed. Ideally to be considered for a role focussed on fundraising for Dogs Trust Worldwide you will have a highly successful track-record of trust fundraising for international projects.

We have a comprehensive benefits package, which includes excellent annual leave and pension contributions.  As well as this, though, you will you join a team of highly professional and passionate colleagues in the fundraising team - and you’ll also learn from and get to meet dedicated experts in the field of canine care, research and welfare.  Add to this, the whole charity has a brilliant upbeat and collaborative culture promoted by a highly supportive management team.   

Along the way you’ll be encouraged to see Dogs Trust’s amazing work for yourself and visit our world class rehoming centres.  You’ll also enjoy spending time with donors and supporters who share our love of dogs. 

Perhaps best of all, being a Trusts and Foundations Officer at Dogs Trust means working in environment where staff can apply to bring their own dog to work after a year of continuous service - so there are always plenty of our four-legged friends around to keep us company in the office while we trust fundraise!

This post will be based in Dogs Trust London Office. (Initially there will be flexibility around location of work including working from home; interim flexible arrangements will be discussed at interview stage).
