Founded by HM The King, our Royal Founding President, to tackle the global crisis of youth unemployment, our vision is that every young person should have the chance to succeed, and our mission is to empower young people to learn, earn and thrive.

Our programmes and interventions are now present in 20 countries within the Commonwealth and beyond, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East. 

We are committed to amplifying the voices of young people on the global stage and putting their needs at the very heart of the design and delivery of our work. This complements global efforts to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those relating to quality education and decent work.

The King’s Trust International is committed to representing, at all levels, the global communities and young people that we serve.

The role

This role will play a key part in the success of fundraising at The King’s Trust International, both through managing a small portfolio of both philanthropy and corporate donors and more broadly through supporting the fundraising of the wider team. This exciting and varied role will provide key stewardship, reporting and event support as needed to cultivate and progress our funding pipeline. The postholder will work collaboratively across both philanthropy and corporate teams, supporting existing activity as well as helping to establish new areas such as networks and corporate engagement products.

This is a great opportunity to fine tune the core fundraising skills required within the not-for-profit world and a fulfilling catalytic role within an innovative and impactful organisation. There is the possibility to specialise the remit of the role in future years in line with the needs of the charity.

About you

You will be a resilient, enthusiastic, self-starter with a strong understanding of the challenges facing young people, and the ability to deliver results under challenging and varied circumstances.
