Our vision is for a world where epilepsy is irrelevant and people with epilepsy lead the lives they want to lead. We are the UK s only charity transforming the lives of people with epilepsy through world leading research, advocacy, and care. We put people at the heart of everything that we do.
It is an exciting time to join us as we embark on our strategy to raise GBP5m for people living with epilepsy by 2025. Epilepsy Society is an ambitious and passionate place to work. We hope you will be inspired by what we do and recognise our potential to do even more.
This is an influential, key role - you will be joining an enthusiastic, high-performing team that likes to work hard, but have fun whilst doing so. With our ambitions to do more and raise more income the team is growing in the coming months and this role is part of that expansion.
The role of a Trust and Foundations Officer is to provide operational support for increasing income from trusts & foundations in line with the Fundraising Strategy for the Charity, and the strategic plans of Epilepsy Society. The postholder will be fully supported in the task to uplift funds
from grant making trusts and foundations, company foundations, public sector funders and lottery bodies. A key aspect of the role will be to establish and maintain positive relationships with funders, ensuring all obligations under grant agreements are fulfilled in a timely manner. The postholder will work with clinicians, researchers, and other key stakeholders to develop compelling requests for support and funding.
There is flexibility with the role; you can work from home on some of the week and there is generous holiday and training and development opportunities. There is plenty of free on-site car parking, a Caf?? and beautiful grounds to work in and be surrounded by. We have a generous group pension scheme and an employee assistant programme (with confidential helpline with any support you might need).
You ll need highly developed influencing and interpersonal skills, excellent written and oral communication skills; with keen attention to detail and the ability to present complex information to high value supporters and partners.
The ideal candidate will also have skills and experience with writing complex grant applications, ideally in the charity sector.
The post-holder should demonstrate our people values of CAIRO (Caring, Accountable, Improving, Respectful and Open).
