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 an Officer to work closely with the Development Director and CEO in developing our corporate income stream, building on strong, established corporate partnerships and developing new ones, to generate both earned income and corporate donations. You will also work closely with our Corporate Advisory Board, which includes a diverse, ambitious group of professionals who are supporting us to maximise our corporate income stream. This role will involve a diverse range of work, from identifying prospects, creating compelling funding approaches and workforce training pitches, through to successfully managing relationships with corporate partners.
The main purposes of the Development Officer role are:
- Working with the Development team to collectively achieve annual fundraising targets exceeding £2m per year
- Selling workplace training and donation opportunities to corporate partners across a range of industries, but in particular the legal and financial services sectors
- Supporting the CEO and Development Director to increase Tender’s workplace training delivery in order to achieve income targets through sales
- Contributing to applications and events in support of fundraising from other sources

· An excellent communicator, both in writing and orally, able to tailor your content based on the audience.
· A love of working collaboratively, across different teams and often with new partners.

· A keen collaborator and confident relationship builder, able to manage a huge range of different parties (from charity sector / trustees / business leaders etc).
· A genuine team player who can influence and bring people alongside you.
· Agile: able to respond confidently and positively to changing scenarios.
· A love of thinking creatively and coming up with new solutions.
· An optimistic and energetic outlook, keen to maximise the positive change you and the team can deliver.
· Happy to take a “roll your sleeves” up approach and help with things not strictly in your job description.
