As a professional grant-maker, Kent Community Foundation has been finding, funding and supporting small charities and community groups across Kent and Medway for more than 23 years.  

You will be ready to inspire our team of 18 people, our Board of Trustees and a network of philanthropic individuals, families and businesses in Kent and Medway. You’ll be a strong advocate for the voluntary sector, passionate about delivering better social outcomes in local communities and seek to build on the Foundation’s reputation as a leading funder. 

In this pivotal role, you will collaborate with the Board of Trustees to deliver Kent Community Foundation’s long-term strategy, budget, and business plan. The role involves building strong relationships with donors, funders, and stakeholders to expand our impact and income. You will ensure the organisation operates efficiently and achieves its ambitious goals. Additionally, you will monitor key indicators including financial health, while representing Kent Community Foundation at external events and in the media to enhance its reputation. 

The ideal candidate will have proven leadership and relationship-building skills, with experience in major donor fundraising, business development, or driving sales growth.
