Role Description:

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Trust Fundraiser with a proven track record in income generation and relationship management. This role can either be based at home or in our Bedford office. Schoolreaders is a rapidly growing child literacy charity with ambitious plans, which is positively impacting the lives of thousands of children every week.

About Schoolreaders:

Schoolreaders was launched seven years ago in Bedfordshire with the aim of recruiting volunteers to provide one-to-one reading support for children in primary schools across the country.  Before the pandemic over 12,700 children in over 650 schools were receiving weekly reading sessions from a Schoolreaders volunteer.  Pre Covid-19, one in four children was leaving primary school unable to read to the expected Government standard.  School closures over the past year mean that many children have fallen even further behind with their reading. Our service is needed more than ever before with 10% of primary schools across the country asking Schoolreaders for reading volunteers. Building on past successes, we now have ambitious expansion plans to address the need.

What you can expect:

A highly rewarding fundraising role where you can develop your skills managing your own portfolio of funders. Schoolreaders is a highly professional charity which values every team-member’s contribution to our team efforts. We offer a generous holiday allowance, enhanced sick pay, an employee assistance programme, plus training and development opportunities. If you want to be part of a great team in a fast-moving, welcoming environment whilst making a huge impact on children’s literacy across the country, this could be the perfect role for you!

Closing date for applications is 23.59 on 8th October 2021 with interviews to be held the week beginning 18th October 2021.

Further details including the job description and application forms can be found on our website.

Applications will be reviewed, and interviews offered, on an ongoing basis. We reserve the right to close the role prior to the closing date should a suitable applicant be found, so please submit your application as soon as possible.

Schoolreaders is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people and requires staff to share this commitment. This post is subject to a range of vetting checks including a basic disclosure check of unspent criminal convictions.

Schoolreaders is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales (1159157)

We are looking for a Trust Fundraiser to join our team at Whizz Kidz.

About Whizz-Kidz

Whizz-Kidz has been providing life-changing opportunities for young wheelchair users for over 30 years. We’re the largest provider of pediatric mobility equipment outside of the NHS; operating over 100 clinics and seeing around 800 people every year. We also operate over 400 clubs, wheelchair skills training and employability support programmes that bring young people together to learn, have fun and build confidence. In total, we support more than 1,200 young people a year.

The future

We have recently appointed a new CEO and will be launching an ambitious new strategy to support even more young people. We’ll do this by providing more wheelchairs, running more clubs and expanding our employability programme. We need to raise more funds to reach these ambitious targets and the Trust, Statutory and Lottery Team will be central to this, delivering £2.5m a year.

Join us

A fantastic opportunity has opened up in the team for a Trust Fundraiser. You might have some fundraising experience or transferable skills that you have developed elsewhere. We’re looking for a good communicator; spoken and written. Someone who is able to convey to funders what Whizz-Kidz does, what young people want and how we support them to achieve their goals. Attention to detail is key, as is the ability to manage your time and prioritise your work. We have two prospect researchers in the team, allowing you to focus on fundraising.

What to expect:

• Developing relationships with staff at trusts, or contacting solicitors and others  that act as their representatives
• You’ll have a prospect pool of at least 100 trusts to move through the pipeline:
  • Established warm supporters giving up to £20,000
  • Cold prospects that haven’t previously given, waiting to be cultivated
  • Some larger trusts capable of giving more than £20,000
• Stewarding trusts, ensuring they’re receiving reports and other communication relevant to their support
• Opportunities to support larger – six-figure – bids, with the aim of working on these on your own in the future
• Working with staff across the organisation to ensure applications and reports have the latest information
• The opportunity to sit on Whizz-Kidz committees that help us to work better with young people.

If it sounds daunting, don’t worry. There are six other people in the team to support you and help you develop your skills as a trust fundraiser. There’s also a further 17 friendly fundraisers spread across our Corporate, Major Donor, Events, Legacy, Individual Giving, Data and Community Teams all regularly sharing what they’re up to and working to support young people.

Flexible working

Last year, we moved to a modern office in London Bridge; a short walk from Borough Market and the River Thames; it’s at the end of the street. Although, if you’d prefer to spend more time working from home, then we offer flexible working patterns; some members of the team are only in the office one-day a week. Oh, and it’s a 35 hour working week.

Closing date: 5pm, Monday 11th October.

Our teams work collaboratively to support our communities while at the same time valuing each other for our individuality and different experiences that we all bring to the organisation. We encourage and support all team members to participate in decision-making and business development as well as personal development in areas of their choice. A full induction about self-managing teams and our way of working will be available to the successful candidate.
