Are you proactive, detail-oriented, and systematic in approaching high value funders, great at engaging and managing internal stakeholder relationships and excited by the idea of making a significant impact for the UK’s leading housing and homelessness charity? Then join Shelter Scotland as a Trust and Foundations Manager and you could soon be playing a vital role at the heart of our Income Generation directorate.
About Shelter Scotland
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet over a million people in Scotland struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
At Shelter Scotland we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.
We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter Scotland and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.
About the team
Trusts and Foundations is a part of the High Value Partnerships team that sits within the Income Generation Directorate raising around 40m a year to support Shelter’s work. Trusts and Foundations is currently a team of nine – consisting of eight fundraisers with two being based in Scotland, one in Bristol and the rest based in London, plus a Grant Manager supporting role. In Scotland we have a Senior Trusts & Foundations Manager and Trusts & Foundations Manager who, although part of High Value Partnerships, work closely with teams across Shelter Scotland, including Business Development, Services and Policy & Advocacy.
About the role
Your challenge will be helping achieve our strategic goals generating income from mid to high level trusts and foundations. You will act as the external face for Shelter Scotland cultivating and managing donor relationships with a variety of organisations. You’ll work alongside the Senior Trusts & Foundations Manager and manage a portfolio of funders and projects, as well as being supported by our experienced fundraising team and the senior managers of frontline services.
Shelter believes in flexible working and personal growth to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based on merit.
About you
To succeed, you’ll need to be confident in your ability to take on a portfolio of new funders at different stages of engagement and, through research, effective communication and meeting strategies, secure income. You’ll also need proven experience of working closely with delivery teams to identify core services that are attractive to a particular funder, or to support the design of new projects that are a strategic priority for that service. A flair for planning, writing and project-managing applications to funders of various sizes is important too. You will be a skilled writer with the ability to match tone of voice and communicate Shelter Scotland’s key messages clearly and persuasively. You will be highly collaborative and able to work with colleagues across our High Value Partnerships team in order to maximise income opportunities.
How to Apply
To apply for this role, you are required to upload a CV and a supporting statement. The supporting statement should address and cover the ‘About You’ points in the job description. Please provide specific examples following the STAR format and ensure you demonstrate how you address the behaviours below throughout your responses:
- We prioritise diversity and have an inclusive and open mindset
- We work together to achieve our shared purpose
Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
Shelter Scotland helps over half a million people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help.
Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
