As the Asylum Aid Trusts and Foundations Executive, you will be responsible for delivering income from a range of donors and prospects, with a focus on trusts and foundations, through growing a successful grants pipeline. The postholder will work closely with the team’s senior leadership and will be supported by the Helen Bamber Foundation’s highly experienced fundraising team, working collaboratively to raise funds for Asylum Aid and the wider Group, enabling Asylum Aid to grow its fundraising and develop a robust pipeline of fundraising partnerships.

We are looking for a bright and ambitious fundraiser who is looking to develop their fundraising skills and who will be results-focused, well-organised and an effective communicator. This role best suits someone who is eager to learn and work as part of a tight-knit and successful team, and who can respond creatively and proactively to our current and future donors’ requests.

The candidate will preferably have some experience working or volunteering in the charity sector, and we welcome applications from candidates with transferrable experience, such as working in a client-facing role, in a communications position or copywriting.

As Trusts and Foundations Executive, you will be working alongside HBF’s experienced fundraising team, reporting into the Grants Manager. You will also collaborate closely with the CEO, the Executive Director of Asylum Aid and Head of Fundraising and Communications, supporting them in their fundraising.

You will be part of a Fundraising and Communications team that is collaborative, proactive, effective and dedicated to supporting refugees and people seeking asylum. We have a great culture of learning and nurturing our talent internally and we are looking for someone who shares our drive to build successful funding partnerships which deliver impact.
