Teens Unite is leading the way in youth cancer support.

We’re an energetic, ambitious and dynamic charity improving the lives of 13-24-year-olds living with, and beyond, cancer. We’re not here to cure cancer. We’re here to empower young people to rebuild their lives and thrive beyond a diagnosis by taking part in our specialist activities, programmes and residential stays.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join our team. Demand for our support is growing rapidly, with a 48% increase in young people registering over the last 12 months.

As we grow, we’re embarking on our most ambitious chapter yet: building the first purpose-built retreat in England for young people overcoming cancer. This pioneering, first-of-its-kind development will transform the support available to young people for generations to come.

We’re looking for an experienced, ambitious and creative Trusts & Grants Manager to play a vital role in making this vision a reality. Combining exceptional relationship-building skills with the ability to develop standout, compelling pitches and applications, you will secure vital funding for both this transformational project and our existing services, to ensure we reach our ambition of providing 30,000 opportunities for teenagers and young adults over the next decade.

Who you are:

You thrive on building relationships and are a natural storyteller with a strong strategic instinct - someone who understands what matters to a funder and can build genuine connections between their priorities and the work, impact and ambitions of Teens Unite.

You understand that a successful funding application is never simply about changing a few words in an existing proposal. You have a talent for developing persuasive, engaging and individually tailored applications and reports that stand out and inspire funders to invest in our work.

You’ll research every opportunity, take the time to understand each funder’s priorities and motivations, and build meaningful relationships that keep Teens Unite front of mind when funding opportunities arise. You’ll adapt the tone, emphasis and case for support accordingly - while always retaining Teens Unite’s own language, personality and brand.

You’ll have a strong track record of securing funding and building a successful pipeline and recognise that the relationship with a funder doesn’t end when the funds are received. You’ll take pride in nurturing relationships, demonstrating the impact of their support and building long-standing partnerships with the potential to grow over time.

You’ll have experience of exceeding fundraising targets and taking ownership of the complete funding journey –from identifying opportunities and developing compelling applications, through to managing grants, demonstrating impact and securing future or repeat funding where appropriate.

You’ll take real ownership of delivering tangible results, bringing fresh ideas, ambition and a proactive approach to identifying and pursuing new opportunities.

The role:

As a self-funded charity, grant income is a vital and growing area of fundraising at Teens Unite, supporting both our current service delivery of activities, programmes and residential breaks, and our ambitious plans for the future.

Teens Unite currently raises £200,000 per annum from grants and trusts, and we are looking to grow this year on year through developing and delivering an ambitious grants fundraising strategy, which will support Teens Unite’s current service delivery and work towards raising the remaining 50% needed of our £6.5million capital appeal to build England’s first purpose-built retreat for young people overcoming cancer.

This isn’t about simply stepping into a bid writing role, it’s about thinking creatively to retain existing funding relationships and seeking new opportunities with the ability to balance ambition with integrity, ensuring funding opportunities genuinely align with organisational priorities and values.

We need you to:

• Take ownership of Teens Unite’s trusts, foundations and grant income programme, working towards agreed annual income targets across programme, core and capital funding.
• Develop and deliver an ambitious trust and grants fundraising strategy to grow income year on year, across programme, core and capital funding
• Research prospective trusts, foundations and grant-making organisations and identify opportunities that align with Teens Unite’s work and ambitions.
• Write compelling funding applications, proposals and cases for support
• Develop project budgets and funding packages in collaboration with colleagues
• Build, nurture and maintain long-term relationships with funders
• Manage grant agreements, reporting requirements and payment schedules
• Produce engaging, evidence-led impact reports that clearly demonstrate how funding has been used and the difference it has made
• Monitor income performance against agreed targets and maintain accurate fundraising records and pipeline reports
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation to maximise the impact of funding secured

What we offer:

When joining Teens Unite, you can expect:

• Annual performance-related bonus opportunity
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
• 33 days annual leave pro rata (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
• Christmas office closure
• Optional company-contributed pension scheme
• Recently refurbished offices and free on-site parking
• To be part of an inclusive and dynamic work environment with a dedicated and growing team
• Responsibility and ownership of an income stream that is fundamental to Teens Unite’s growth and future

Trusts & Foundations Fundraiser

Bethlehem Care & Hospice Trust

Salary: £34,000-£40,000 FTE, pro rata depending on experience  |  Hours: 14.8-18.5 hours per week (0.4-0.5 FTE)  |  Location: Home-based anywhere in the UK  |  Contract: 12 months initially, with a view to extension subject to funding and performance

Help sustain Palestine's first and only licensed palliative care service

Bethlehem Care & Hospice Trust (BCHT) is a small UK charity supporting the development of specialist palliative and hospice care in Palestine. In August 2023, the service we support became the first licensed palliative care service in Palestine. Since then, its specialist nurses have cared for more than 350 patients and their families and delivered more than 5,000 home visits.

The service has demonstrated what can be achieved. Our challenge now is to secure its future. We are investing in professional fundraising for the first time and are looking for an experienced Trusts & Foundations Fundraiser to help us build the sustainable income needed to protect and strengthen this pioneering service.

The opportunity

This is an unusually autonomous role in which you will work directly with BCHT's Trustees and colleagues in Palestine. You will take responsibility for developing income from charitable trusts, foundations and grant-making organisations: identifying prospects, developing compelling propositions, preparing high-quality applications and building long-term funder relationships.

We currently raise approximately £60,000-£80,000 each year against a core service requirement of around £150,000. Your initial focus will therefore be sustainability of the existing service, with opportunities subsequently to support its development and growth. Our Year 1 income target for this role is £70,000.

This role could be for you if you have proven experience of successful trusts and foundations fundraising; can demonstrate success in preparing grant applications; write persuasively; can research and develop a strong prospect pipeline; are highly organised; can work independently; and would value the opportunity to use your professional expertise to make a direct and measurable difference.

Experience of healthcare, hospice or palliative care, international development, small charities or faith-based organisations would be useful but is not essential.

BCHT is inspired by Christian values of compassion, dignity and service. Applicants should be sympathetic to the values and mission of the charity. The palliative care service we support is provided to people regardless of faith, ethnicity, background or ability to pay.

What we offer: flexible home-based working; 25 days' annual leave plus UK public/bank holidays, pro rata; and a workplace pension scheme with a 5% employer contribution, subject to scheme rules. You will have considerable scope to shape BCHT's approach to trusts and foundations fundraising and direct access to Trustees and decision-makers.

To apply, please submit your CV and a covering letter of no more than two pages explaining why you are interested in the role and how your experience meets its requirements. Please download the Recruitment Pack for further information.

Closing date: Friday 25 September 2026  |  Interviews: Week commencing 5 October 2026  |  Start: As soon as possible by agreement
