About Us

The MND Association was founded in 1979. Our mission is to improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers. We also fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments and brings us closer to a cure for MND. The Association also campaigns and raises awareness so the needs of people with MND, and everyone who cares for them, are recognised, and addressed by wider society.

We operate a hybrid working environment within a flexible office space using the latest technology and digital infrastructure.

Our selection process will be multi-stage; this may include video call screening, psychometric assessments, and competency-based interview/s.

We request that recruitment agencies do not contact us in relation to this role. We work hard to fill our roles directly and if assistance is required, we operate a PSL, which currently closed for review. We do not accept speculative CVs from recruitment agencies/ head-hunters.

We are looking for a self-motivated, experienced, and talented fundraiser to help secure and sustain significant grants from trusts, foundations, and statutory sources.

Fresh Start raises funds from a variety of sources including grants from statutory funders and trusts and foundations. The post holder will have an excellent knowledge of these funding sources and demonstrable experience in developing high quality applications, bids, reports, budgets and supporting documents for a diverse range of audiences including existing and new grant funders.

Fresh Start provides support to people moving on from or those at risk of homelessness. 

Fresh Start have worked with people moving on from homelessness for over 20 years and are developing our services to offer support to those at risk of homelessness with the opening of our new community hub in North Edinburgh. 

We offer practical help and support through the provision of goods and services. These services have developed over the years to recognise and meet the needs of those who have experienced homelessness and to support homelessness prevention.

About Tudor

The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making charitable trust funding a wide variety of organisations that work with people at the margins of society. We are a relational grant maker and tend to fund smaller, under-resourced organisations that offer direct services and address marginalisation as our applicants choose to define it. We have used an open grants application process (rather than specific funding programmes) for many years and encourage groups to apply for what they really want.

The new postholder will be coming into the Trust at an exciting moment in our development. For the year from April 2022 the whole Tudor team is setting aside time to re-think how the Trust operates in the future. One of the main drivers for this is the learning we have done around racial justice and how we embed this, both internally and through our grant making. We’ll also be spending time on practical work such as revisiting who we fund and how we support them.

About the role

As well as contributing to this ‘visioning’ work, the new post holder will take on a varied portfolio of active grants from a Grants Manager who is retiring, and will be involved in the assessment and development of new funding applications. To work in a relational way with applicants and grant holders, you will need to have a high level of emotional intelligence, good listening skills and the ability to provide useful and appropriate support to smaller voluntary organisations.

About you

The role requires excellent communication skills, the ability to think and plan strategically, and the capacity to manage a diverse and demanding workload. Previous grant-making experience could be useful, but it is not essential, as we also want to hear from applicants who have first-hand knowledge of the issues facing smaller voluntary organisations, including their financial management, organisational structures and governance.

Last year we committed £21m in new grants, of which 24% went to organisations with a focus on Black and Ethnic Minority communities. In order to have a team that reflects our grant holders’ diversity, and as part of our journey towards racial justice, we are seeking to increase the number of people from racialised (Black and Minority Ethnic) backgrounds in our Grants Team. We are, therefore, encouraging people from racialised backgrounds, particularly Black people (who are currently under-represented on the team) to apply for this role.
