This will help PCUK to create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.

We are currently looking for a Bid Manager (Corporate, Trusts and Foundations) to join us at The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation. 

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (the Award) is a Non-Formal Education and Learning framework encouraging young people to find their purpose, place and passion in the world.

In more than 120 countries and territories, our globally recognised accreditation is available to all 14 to 24-year-olds, of all backgrounds, locations, cultures and abilities.

Through the programme, each young person becomes part of something special while developing their own interests, universal skills and life aspirations.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation is the international charity that drives and encourages the Award’s growth, access and impact across the globe. Working in partnership with organisations and governing bodies, we oversee the licensing of Award operators – including schools, youth groups, employers and custodial institutions. 

The Foundation relies on a combination of operational and voluntary income to fund its work, and we are looking to grow the contribution of Corporate and institutional funders to the current income mix, alongside a strong philanthropic base.

We are therefore seeking an experienced and dynamic Bid Manager (Corporate, Trusts and Foundations) to join our Development team and play a pivotal role in securing funding through successful corporate, trust, and foundation applications. The Bid Manager (Corporate, Trusts and Foundations) will be responsible for researching, writing, and submitting high-quality, compelling funding proposals that bring to life the critical role the Foundation plays in ensuring that all young people have access to the Award, wherever they are or whatever their circumstances.

Community Fundraising Officer (South)

Full time - 35 hours per week, part time and flexible hours considered after successful 
completion of probationary period
Location – Hybrid Working with a minimum of one day a week working from Head Office 

Join our friendly team
We have an exciting opportunity for a Community Fundraising Officer based in London.
We offer hybrid working with a minimum of one day per week at our London Head Office 
(close to Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Old Street stations).

Our charity
The Sick Children’s Trust is the charity that provides a welcoming ‘Home from Home’ 
where families with a sick child in hospital can stay. But we’re more than bricks and mortar, 
our friendly, caring staff are there to support families when they really need it. 
Hospital can be a lonely and scary place for anyone, but especially a child. Providing 
around 3,500 families a year with somewhere to stay together just minutes from the 
hospital means that they can be by their sick child’s side and have one less thing to worry 
about.

The role 
This is a wide-ranging community fundraising role. Activities include supporting family 
fundraising and third-party events in the south such as The Royal Parks Half Marathon and 
The Brighton Marathon. You will be required to forge, develop and grow new and existing 
fundraising opportunities and relationships with local businesses, community organisations 
and schools.
Key to this, is the provision of a sensitive and effective supporter journey for new and 
existing supporters.
Also, you will work collaboratively with the fundraising department and the 
communications and marketing team to ensure effective integration of campaigns and 
activities.
You will actively cultivate and recruit new and existing supporters and volunteers to 
participate in a range of third-party events and support the organisation. 
You will lead on Supermarket charitable schemes, including research, support with copy 
and applications to reach targets set for this area of income.
 
About you 
Ideally you have successful community fundraising experience including provision of a good 
supporter journey.
You will have strong interpersonal and communication skills. You will equally be as 
comfortable supporting families who stay with us who want to fundraise, as you are 
presenting to a room full of students, or potential volunteers.
You have good organisational skills and are comfortable working to objectives and targets. 
You are able to work with a level of autonomy and innovation to develop your fundraising 
portfolio and to increase our profile particularly in the areas close to our houses.
Ultimately this is a great role for anyone who loves community fundraising and 
understands that no two days are the same.
An enhanced DBS check for this role is required.
This is a great opportunity and we are reviewing applications as we receive them, so early 
application is advised.

The recruitment pack will provide you with more information about the role. If this role 
sounds like something you will excel in, we’d love to hear from you. 
To apply please complete the questions  and submit your CV with a covering 
letter demonstrating how you meet the criteria set out in the job description and person 
specification
