We are currently recruiting for a Trust Fundraiser.

Job description

Trust Fundraiser, 12months contract
Up to £25k London (full time role; although part time will be considered)

This is a great opportunity to join a dynamic, inclusive and unbureaucratic organisation in an exciting time of growth, working closely with staff, trustees and Award Holders to maximise income generation for the organisation.

With a strong focus on communication and writing skills, the role will focus on creating inspiring and innovative proposals, identifying funding opportunities, building relationships with decision makers and submitting applications to secure new income from trusts, foundations, the lottery and other funders.

You will then manage the monitoring requirements, continued donor care, maintain and develop individual relationships with donors.

You would need to be energetic, proactive and able to juggle a number of projects simultaneously and work well within a team. You’ll also be an excellent communicator with outstanding writing skills.

If you are a Trust Fundraiser looking for a new challenge or an experienced writer looking to move into the charity sector, this could be the role for you.

The Diana Award was established in 1999 as an official memorial to Diana Princess of Wales and her belief in the power of young people to change the world for the better. Our awards exist to celebrate young people who make a positive contribution to their communities in the UK and internationally. Award Holders come from different backgrounds – they are volunteers, fundraisers, campaigners, carers once they receive their award, they are supported in achieving their true potential through the Diana Network.

The Diana Network enables these community-driven young people to gain skills, training, expertise, project management, work and volunteering experiences. It provides a hub, through which young people are directed to partner organisations – voluntary, government and corporates. It can offer support and structure for young people on their career path and also establish their long-term dedication to build a society in which we would all like to live.
