QSA is seeking two dynamic and ambitious fundraising managers (Trusts and Foundations Manager and Individual Giving Manager) to join a growing team in an inspirational charity. QSA supports many of the communities that have been hit hardest by the financial crisis, from people experiencing homelessness and funeral poverty to asylum seekers. Our work is needed more than ever, and we need to increase our income to be able to support the growth in demand for our services.
Our services include crisis support for those unable to afford funerals; courses that enable people to manage their money more confidently; practical support for people experiencing homelessness such as a mobile library and a community kitchen space; wellbeing interventions; and a range of community development initiatives.
This is an opportunity to be part of an organisation that really is making a difference to people's lives. As well as working alongside fundraising colleagues, you will also be in close contact with staff working on the front-line and will have opportuniities to connect with the communities who benefit from our work.
QSA was founded by Quakers in 1867, troubled by the social injustices of the time and keen to tackle them. Although we are now an independent organisation, this sense of taking practical action has stayed with us over our 150-year history. There is nothing religious about our work - our services, jobs and volunteering roles are open to all.
Trusts and foundations manager
As a charity that has been working on social justice issues for over 150 years, we have established a strong base of support from trusts and foundations.

We are looking for someone with a strong track-record in individual giving with experience of maximising income through targetted appeals and engaging new donors. You will be a natural communicator, with excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to inspire and galvanise.
To end, a brief insight from Abiola, a participant at QSA’s This Way Up mindfulness and coaching course.
“I had lost two members of my family in quick succession. I then lost my savings and my job. Usually I deal with problems by going on auto-pilot, panicking and being anxious. The programme taught me to accept things, without giving up. I was able to let go of the things that were not important and I found a different perspective on how to deal with my problems.”
