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.
