Role Summary
As Development Manager, you’ll lead on day-to-day trusts and foundations fundraising, building a strong and well-qualified pipeline and developing compelling applications that secure restricted and unrestricted income. The postholder will research prospective funders, translate the organisation’s work and impact into persuasive cases for support, coordinate high-quality submissions, and manage grants through to reporting and renewal.
You will lead small and medium-sized applications and support the Head of Development on larger, strategic, or capital bids. This is a hands-on income-generation role requiring previous success in trusts and foundations fundraising, strong written communication, and disciplined pipeline management.
You will also play a vital part in supporting the Development team to increase restricted and unrestricted income through individual giving streams, including work to support a refreshed membership scheme in 2027.
