- At least three years experience gained in a fundraising role and specifically experience with Trust fundraising
- Knowledge and understanding of a range of corporate fundraising activity including employee fundraising, sponsorship, events and strategic partnerships
- Demonstrable experience in developing and delivering funding proposals and pitches with the ability to think creatively
- Excellent relationship management skills with the ability to use your own initiative and work independently to spot, develop and maximise opportunities
- Strong consultative and negotiation skills
- Creativity, determination, tenacity and persuasiveness
- Excellent organisational, planning and time-management skills with the ability to prioritise and juggle conflicting demands
- A successful track record of raising income from within a fundraising context, or a background in marketing & communications with demonstrable skills that are relevant and transferable
