Job Description
FUNDRAISING DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
Looking for a fundraising role where your work genuinely changes lives?
Our client is a Christian charity supporting families and individuals through programmes focused on poverty relief, emotional wellbeing, education, community support and long-term life transformation. They are looking for a proactive, relationship-focused Development Manager to help grow and strengthen their fundraising across trusts, donors, events and community fundraising.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing charity making a real difference to families and local communities. Working closely with their Fundraising Director, you’ll play a key role in building meaningful supporter relationships, delivering engaging fundraising activity and helping develop sustainable income streams that allow the charity’s work to flourish.
This is far more than a desk-based fundraising role. They require someone who enjoys building connections, spotting opportunities, bringing ideas to life and getting involved in the practical delivery of fundraising activity.
Your work will include:
* Building and nurturing strong donor and supporter relationships
* Supporting trust and foundation applications and reporting
* Helping plan and deliver fundraising events and community initiatives
* Managing and maintaining fundraising data through Salesforce CRM
* Supporting the delivery of fundraising strategy across multiple income streams
We’re looking for someone who:
* Has experience in fundraising, donor engagement or community fundraising
* Is comfortable working independently and as part of a team
* Has experience using CRM systems (Salesforce desirable)
* Enjoys both strategic thinking and hands-on delivery
* Is a confident communicator and relationship builder
* Will respect the charity’s strong Christian ethos.
In return, you’ll join a supportive and collaborative team within a charity that is growing, ambitious and deeply rooted in community impact. You’ll have the opportunity to develop across different areas of fundraising and charity life while seeing the direct impact of your work on families and individuals who need support.
If you’re passionate about people, purpose and building relationships that make a difference — we’d love to hear from you.
