WR Fundraising Recruitment is proud to be working with an international children’s charity that are looking for a Fundraising Officer to join their Trusts & Foundations team.

We’re not necessarily looking for trust fundraising experience as training will be provided.

What we are looking for is an aspiring fundraiser with a great level of enthusiasm who has the ability to write compelling funding applications (training provided) and build relationships with funders; steering them through a supporter journey.

You would be working in a team of 4, and although the charity is fully home working at the moment, we expect the role to be split between home and office working (Central London) when the office re-opens.

We’re looking for an outgoing personality who will be keen to develop relationships internally and with external funders. In a varied role, the successful candidate will have the benefit of starting with a solid portfolio of existing grant givers, while working collaboratively with the team to identify and develop opportunities for further funding.

The charity offers a range of flexible working options amongst an appealing benefits package.

This is a fantastic role for an aspiring fundraiser in a large, global charity where you’ll benefit from expert training and develop solid fundraising skills for the future.
