Fundraising Officer Jobs

Tender is an arts charity working with children and young people to prevent domestic abuse and sexual violence through creative projects. Our programmes are safe, enjoyable, age-appropriate spaces where young people can engage with sensitive topics and “rehearse” for real-life scenarios. Participants are encouraged to be both consumers and producers of learning through script-work, role-play and creative media such as films and art. Throughout, we enable young people to explore their choices, rights and expectations in relationships and to recognise the early warning signs of abuse. 

We have grown rapidly in recent years, and now have an exciting and varied programme of work which is funded from a wide range of sources. We have long-standing, high-value relationships with organisations such as the Mayor’s Office, Esmée Fairbairn and Clifford Chance, and continue to grow our income from a range of supporters from trusts, foundations, corporates, individuals and community fundraisers.

We now have a need for two Development Officers to work closely with the Development Director and Development Manager in developing our trusts and foundations and statutory income streams, managing the accounts of existing supporters and generating income through securing new funding relationships. This role will involve a diverse range of work, from identifying prospects, creating compelling funding proposals, through to successfully managing relationships with funders.

One of the new Development Officers will have line management responsibility for a Development Coordinator, while the other Development Officer will not have any line management responsibilities. If you have a preference for one or other role, please note that in your application.

Success in this role would mean that, after six months you can:

• Confidently write and speak about Tender’s work, and how we prevent violence against women and girls, to a range of different funders.

• Write clear, compelling funding applications for five-figure sums to a range of funders.
• Proactively maintain positive relationships with funders you are responsible for managing.
• Support and work flexibly with other members of the Development team so that we can collaboratively reach our fundraising goals.
• Use Tender’s data management systems, such as Microsoft 365 and Salesforce, confidently and in line with Tender’s policies.

Please see the “Guidance Notes for Applicants” section at the end of the application pack for full details of how to apply. We ask for a copy of your CV and a 1 – 2 page supporting statement. We are happy to consider alternative application formats, such as video applications.

At The Lullaby Trust our vision is clear: a world where no baby dies suddenly or unexpectedly, and every grieving family gets the support they need. We exist to keep babies safe and support bereaved families. 

We give families a safer start to life and create a supportive space for anyone whose baby or infant has died suddenly or unexpectedly. We empower families and health professionals with trusted advice on keeping babies safe, backed by research, and provide grieving families with bereavement support, side-by-side.

Since 1991 we have reduced the rate of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by 82% and saved the lives of over 32,000 babies. But our work is not over, as three babies still die suddenly and unexpectedly a week.

The post-holder will have excellent communication and relationship-building skills and will be able to manage a wide-ranging portfolio of funders, and the prospect pipeline from start to finish. A key to achieving this will be embedding a deep understanding of The Lullaby Trust’s impact.
 
In this role you will be: 

1. Managing the Trust and Foundations programme 
2. Working with the wider team to deliver to income targets 

This role can be offered as a hybrid role (with approximately one day per week in our London office) or fully remote, with occasional visits to the office for meetings or staff days as necessary.

It is a key time to be joining The Lullaby Trust as we develop our new brand positioning, new website and creative direction, to help us reach more families and supporters than ever. We are a friendly, flexible employer and want to create a diverse and inclusive work environment for everyone.
