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.

Disability Rights UK (DR UK) is a charity with our office based in the Olympic Park in East London. We occupy a unique position as the only national organisation led by disabled people. 90% of our trustees have lived experience of disability, as do the majority of our staff and volunteers. We describe ourselves as ‘disabled people leading change’.
Our charitable objectives include breaking the link between poverty and disability and challenging negative perceptions in society. We work to reduce the additional barriers that disabled people face. Evidence of injustice and inequality that we gather is taken forward into our policy and campaigning work.
We offer advice and information services to disabled people and member organisations. Our website reaches one million people each year with factsheets on subjects such as welfare benefits, housing, education, transport and accessing legal advice.
DR UK runs a range of innovative projects, working with partners including other Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs), to demonstrate new approaches to disabled people’s participation. For example, we have a successful model of working with disabled people, local DPOs, social workers and Sport England to change attitudes, perceptions and practices around physical activity and wellbeing.
To underpin this vital and far-reaching work we have a plan to increase our annual income from individual giving, legacies, grant funding and corporate activity.
The role
This is an exciting time to join us. This newly created post is designed to build our digital fundraising, grow the number of individuals actively supporting DR UK and increase income from trusts and foundations. You will be asked to come up with as many effective, innovative and engaging fundraising approaches as possible to help achieve these aims.
DR UK has continued working at full capacity during the pandemic:
- supporting disabled people contacting our helplines
- producing special Covid-19 supplements for the advice sector
- creating high level channels for feeding the experiences of disabled people into emerging national policy and practice
Motivation and communication across staff teams has never been better – being already used to remote working and having a strong unity of purpose at this time.
As our Fundraising Manager, you will have a unique opportunity to influence the design of new systems and ways of working. This will include helping shape the development of our digital strategy and the fundraising aspects of our new website, to be launched in the second half of 2021.
To fulfil this wide-ranging role, we are seeking a highly creative, determined and enthusiastic fundraising all-rounder, with the ability to lead on income generating activities, while working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation.
You will report to and work with our Head of Business Development to make sure fundraising activities meet annual targets, raise DR UK’s profile and enhance our reputation in line with our values.
In return we offer a highly competitive salary, employer pension, flexi-working and an informal, inclusive and modern workplace within the Here East innovation zone on the edge of the London Olympic Park. There will be opportunities for training and personal development.
To apply, please send your current CV together with a cover letter, outlining why you want this job and addressing each point in the person specification.
