This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced fundraising professional to play a pivotal role in delivering change for the 4.3 million children growing up in poverty. You will have a demonstrable track record in securing six figure and multi annual grants primarily from trusts, foundations and/or the National Lottery.
You will have the ability to work confidently as a creative and analytical problem solver, and a hands-on fundraiser. CPAG’s fundraised income has grown significantly, and the team raises nearly £3 million annually.
You will be responsible for managing all aspects of fundraising income generation, and leading and supporting a small fundraising team. You will be able to build and nurture relationships with funders, donors and other stakeholders, and have excellent communication skills.
We understand that many people, especially people who identify as women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds or from other underrepresented groups, only apply for jobs when they believe they match all the criteria. If you don’t meet all the criteria in the person specification and want to play a key role in helping to tackle UK child poverty, please consider applying.
