We are committed to continuing to develop our services in order to help more people experiencing mental health problems and to finding new supporters to help make this happen. We appointed a professional fundraiser for the first time in 2015 and now have an established fundraising function which includes a mix of support from trusts and foundations, individuals, corporates and community sources. We want to take our fundraising to the next level and so we are looking to recruit a Fundraising Manager who will focus specifically on corporate fundraising and individual giving. The role will also involve working with a consultancy who will deliver our trusts and foundations programme.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced fundraiser with a track record of success in corporate fundraising and/or individual giving. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone full of ideas, passion and a desire to make their mark through building new income streams. You will need to be creative, highly motivated and proactive, well organised and confident working as part of a team, and independently.
