About the charity
Through ground-breaking, personalised therapy that isn't available on the NHS, Stick 'n' Step is currently improving day-to-day life for families in the Northwest by helping children gain their independence, boost their self-confidence and reach their individual potential. Stick 'n' Step offers a safe space for children to learn how to do things differently through repeated messages while offering respite to their families while they are on session. The impact of the support the charity delivers is so tangible it can be seen almost instantly as children leave their sessions with huge smiles on their faces having learned new skills that day. This impact provides such a tremendous motivation to the staff team; joining the team at Stick 'n' Step is being part of something truly special.
About the role
Stick 'n' Step already have established relationships within trusts and foundations; however, they have big plans to diversify their portfolio and reach a larger range of supporters. To do this, they are looking for a Trusts and Grants Fundraising Manager to join the team. In your role, you'll meet and exceed their trusts and grants targets through fundraising proposals. Your day to day will involve preparing compelling written applications, reports, and thank you letters, and supporting the stewardship of donors, along with working with the classroom team to research and identify impact stories, case studies, images and videos to include in your applications. As part of your role, you'll work closely with an amazing Chief Executive and Head of Conductive Education.
About you
This role will suit a skilled relationship builder and communicator with experience writing successful and compelling fundraising applications. You'll need a track record of meeting income targets and the ability to present to a high standard.
You'll also need to have strong organisational skills, with experience in planning and prioritising multiple projects at once. You'll be comfortable working independently and as part of a team. You'll also be someone who is able to project gravitas and credibility to high level supporters.
To apply, please send a copy of your CV or profile to Ellen Drummond as the first step and we'll be back in touch with further details on the application process.
