Prospect Researcher and Coordinator - UK Trusts

We're hiring! 

We are on the lookout for a Prospect Researcher and Coordinator to join our talented UK Trusts team. If you are a motivated and highly organised individual with an eye for detail, we want to hear from you! 

Tearfund's vision is to see people lifted out of poverty, living transformed lives and fulfilling their God-given potential. As trust fundraisers we have the joy of helping to make that happen. Our team manages key donor relationships, aiming to secure significant grants that will extend Tearfund's reach and impact around the world.

We have the privilege of working with a wide range of funders, as well as Tearfund's field staff, technical experts and leadership team. We enable funders to connect with the issues they are passionate about and to challenge the injustices they see. 

This role will involve conducting vital research on trusts and foundations to help us engage more effectively with existing donors and uncover new prospects. Additionally, you will support the team's administrative functions, ensuring smooth operations and effective planning.

Good relationships are key to what we do - both internally and externally - so building connections in both spheres is key to this role. 

We offer a supportive team environment, where we are always learning, as well as the opportunity to test new ideas and develop our approach to trust fundraising. 

Please note: This role is part time (28 hours per week) and fixed term for 6 months.  The full time salary is £32,291 per annum and the part time salary is £25,833 (part time 4 days per week).

We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and those from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds (in our UK workforce) as these groups are currently under-represented at Tearfund.

This role is eligible for hybrid working and you will be required to work from a designated Tearfund office and from your home by agreement with the line manager.

All applicants must be committed to Tearfund's Christian beliefs.

The recruitment process will include specific checks related to safeguarding. In addition, personal identification information will be submitted against a Watchlist database to check against criminal convictions as a counter-terror measure.
