Trusts & Foundations Manager; Charity

Position: Trusts & Foundations Manager (Charity)
If unlocking transformational funding is your superpower, we’ve got a mission worthy of your cape...

This is a pivotal new role within a national charity, designed to strengthen and grow grant-based income at an exciting moment in the organisation’s development.

If you’re energised by crafting compelling cases for support, nurturing high-value funder relationships, and securing multi-year grants that change lives… then this one should be firmly on your radar.

This is a hybrid role split between the Peterborough office and home working, with occasional travel to external meetings and events. A full driving licence and access to a vehicle are therefore essential.

As the charity’s Trusts & Foundations expert, you’ll take the lead on developing and delivering the trusts & grants strategy: identifying opportunities, building a strong pipeline, and writing persuasive, tailored applications.

You’ll steward current funders with care, develop new long-term relationships, and create imaginative ways for grant-makers to invest in the charity’s impactful work.

Salary on offer is up to £40,000 depending on the experience that you have in this area of fundraising.

You’ll bring proven experience of securing income from trusts, foundations, and/or statutory funders, ideally within the charity sector, with a track record of meeting or exceeding ambitious targets.

Benefits include:
Flexi working with core hours 9:30–4:30, 25 days annual leave (rising to 30), 6% matched pension, 4x salary death-in-service, cycle schemes, social committee events, and staff discounts.
