Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference, every single day, to people from all walks of life? The people who turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to their getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.

We’re looking for a Trusts & Foundations Officer to join a growing team. This is a key role that will focus on supporting the Trusts & Foundations team within the larger Income Generation Directorate. The ultimate aim is to generate unrestricted income to help secure the long-term sustainability of Citizens Advice, so we can continue to shape a society where people face far fewer problems.

If you're interested in applying for this role please demonstrate the following criteria in your CV and cover letter:

• Proven ability to manage a wide range of projects - ensuring activities are delivered to deadline. 
• Excellent interpersonal skills, previous experience in building relationships with a range of stakeholders, both internally and externally.
• Knowledge and experience of working with Raisers Edge or similar fundraising CRM database.
• Understanding of trends in Trusts & Foundations with proficiency in researching prospective donors and new fundraising opportunities.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is of strategic importance within the organisation and recognised as integral to all we do as a service. 

Central to pursuing our EDI mission is building diverse and inclusive teams in which everyone has a sense of belonging. We believe inclusion is a social justice issue - a principle that underpins our all EDI work. To that end, we particularly welcome applications from people we would like to see better represented in our organisation and sector - people of colour, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. We follow the social model of disability. We will offer an interview to disabled candidates who indicate they wish their application to be considered under our Disability Confident Interview Commitment where they meet our selection criteria in their application. Some of our roles attract a high volume of applications and in some circumstances where it is not practicable or appropriate, we may limit the number of interviews offered to disabled and non-disabled candidates. We will provide reasonable adjustments as needed.

We’re a flexible employer, so this role may suit anyone who’d prefer a flexible arrangement to help their work/life balance, many of our colleagues spend most of their time working remotely. Whilst we prefer a blended approach between a local office, if one is near you, and home we’re open to being flexible on location, occasionally a role may require you to be based in a certain location if that's the case it will be detailed in the advert or job description. This can be discussed in more detail during your interview.
