WR Fundraising Recruitment is delighted to be working with The Green House charity, who provide specialist support for children, young people and families living in Avon and Somerset on their exciting and newly created Head of Fundraising role.

The new Head of Fundraising will be leading on income generation, your main focus will be Trust and Foundations, whilst developing and implementing the new strategy. Whilst this is a senior role, the Head of Fundraising won’t mind getting stuck in and supporting the team with statutory income, and wider ad hoc fundraising opportunities. We are looking for someone with a creative mindset to broaden the pool of fundraisers, and have a real passion to grow the charity, due to the nature of the charity.

This is a critical role for the team and you will take the lead on building and managing key relationships with existing funders, and ensuring top stewardship. Working with the CEO and the board, your aim will be to increase the charity’s growth by identifying and securing new sources of Trust and Foundation income.

Key responsibilities of the role will include:

Leading on all income generation (trusts, foundations, statutory)
Building and managing key relationships with existing funders
Writing exceptional bids to trust and foundations
Assisting the CEO and Trustees in developing a fundraising strategy to maximise income
Building and sustaining long-lasting relationships with supporters
Managing a part-time contract fundraiser.

The ideal candidate for this role will:

Have a proven track record of winning major grants and statutory contracts, within trusts and foundations
Demonstrable experience in building successful relationships across multiple income streams (mainly trust and foundations)

Will have demonstrable experience of writing successful proposals including multiyear funding
Be able to effectively research and identify new sources for funding
Have great attention to detail, strong organisation and time management skills
Be confident and personable, with exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to build strong relationships

We are WR and we invest in our candidates by providing optional new starter coaching - enhancing confidence, wellbeing, professional relationships and managing change.
