About the role
The Head of Fundraising at InFocus is our senior fundraiser. They report to the Director of Income Generation and Business Development (IGBD) who has a varied portfolio that also includes marketing and communications, catering, charity retail, and strategic partnerships. This means that you will be part of a wider team (and all the support that comes with it), but will still have overall responsibility for setting the direction of our fundraising activity.
This appointment comes at a time when we need to consolidate our existing unrestricted fundraising activities and look towards preparing a substantial capital campaign to develop our site.
Our charity receives a large amount of statutory funding and has a relatively small pool of regular supporters and donors. It’s essential that the Head of Fundraising can take a strategic approach to growing income, but particularly through researching and writing quality applications to charitable trusts and foundations (which has typically made up a large part of our fundraising mix).
A Fundraising Relationship Officer is in post and is managed by the Head of Fundraising. They will need to be supported to make sure that we continue to grow our emerging individual, community and corporate fundraising streams.
About you
You will have practical experience in trusts and foundations, and be prepared to step into a leadership role in a small but friendly team. You’ll need to be a confident communicator with donors and supporters, as well as a diverse staff team spread across our large campus at the edge of Exeter (and six charity retail stores).
You will be confident in balancing strategic planning with practical tasks (which will include preparing materials and applications to trusts and foundations).
You may already have leadership experience, or you may be stepping up into a more senior role for the first time. Either way, you will have the support of the Director IGBD, CEO and colleagues from across the InFocus team.

We are seeking an outstanding individual to lead the development and delivery of business, commercial and enterprise activities within the South West Heritage Trust.
You will be a person with an excellent record of achievement at senior level within a charity or cultural organisation, and with an ability to build funding and other partnerships, motivate teams and manage complex projects.

The Trust was created in 2014 as an independent charity to preserve and promote the heritage of Somerset and Devon. We work with many partners, including the principal local authorities of the two counties, to deliver wide-ranging heritage services. We reach thousands of people every year and in 2023 became a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England.
The Trust runs the widely-praised Museum of Somerset in Taunton and Somerset Rural Life Museum in Glastonbury. Our Archive and Local Studies Services have centres in Taunton, Exeter and Barnstaple where we care for more than 10 million archives dating from the 8th century to the present day. Our Historic Environment Service supports local authorities, partners and the public by offering planning-related advice and information on Somerset’s archaeology and built heritage. It also looks after 450 acres of heritage landscapes. We provide learning opportunities for people of all ages.
