This is a new, challenging and exciting role; we are building our charity and need an experienced fundraiser to develop income streams that will bring in sustainable funds quickly. This role will work closely with the team and particularly the senior leadership team and Board of Directors. The Fundraising Manager will work for the success of our primary strategic aim:

1. To bridge and surpass the funding gap (deficit); and
2. To quickly bring in additional long-term sustainable funding.

The focus will be on bid writing to generate income streams thus providing new income into the charity, moving us away from our reliance on local authority and trust funding. Some of this new income will enable us to fund our core costs, build up a surplus and to help bring about our strategic aims for the charity. The person we are looking for will have the breadth of experience and knowledge to quickly understand our context and identify appropriate funding opportunities.
