This is an exciting opportunity to join the organisation in a newly created role at a time when
we’re looking to redesign our fund-raising activities through a mixture of activities and
events, sourcing new and nurturing current corporate partnerships and developing
commercial initiatives by making the most of our current assets.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will work in partnership with the current Grant Funding
Manager (who is primarily responsible for major grant applications), whilst you will have
responsibility for pursuing a wide range of other income generation opportunities.
This role is perfect for someone with a strong track record in charity income generation who
thrives on working as part of a team yet can also work independently. You will need to be
highly motivated, well organised and have good time management skills, used to working to
targets and comfortable in providing updates and reports to the senior management team.
Based at the Factory in Porth, you’ll need to have your own transport as travel between the
various hubs will be necessary, as well as the occasional visits to potential funders and key
stakeholders.
The role requires a DBS check and the right to work in the UK
