Could you use your Trusts fundraising experience to help transform lives through music?
There's so much more than classical music at Liverpool Philharmonic. As Trusts and Foundations Fundraising Manager, you'll raise money to support a world class orchestra, venue and choir; empower young people through music; and support a diverse cultural programme ranging from rock to folk and jazz, film to comedy and spoken work.
You'll also fundraise for musical programmes with the power to change lives, working side-by-side with NHS trusts and primary care, supporting community participants with their mental and physical health.
Salary: £35,000

About the role
As a vital member of the Development team, you'll play an instrumental role raising essential funds to support the organisation's pioneering Music and Health initiatives, including the nationally-renowned 'In Harmony' music education program (reaching almost 1,800 young people across Merseyside).
With a wide variety of ways for funders to get involved, this is a genuinely exciting role providing a chance to get creative with a varied portfolio. Trusts and foundations income is in a strong position (currently approx. £800k) and they have warm relationships already in place. So, this is all about maximising opportunities and working innovatively to explore new relationships and introduce funders to the organisation's work.
Question: Working closely with the artistic team, what new funding opportunities might be accessible if together you can demonstrate the life-changing impact on young people, or people experiencing mental health challenges?
About you

To apply for this exciting role, we'd love you to showcase the following skills, experience and behaviours:
* Previous track-record of securing income from trusts and foundations.
* Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a talent for crafting persuasive and compelling proposals.
* Strong organisational skills, with keen attention-to-detail.
