Domestic abuse has blighted women’s lives throughout history. We’ve been helping women in London recover from its effects since 1996. Our specialist counselling transforms the mental health and wellbeing of women who have suffered physical, emotional or sexual abuse, financial exploitation or coercive control, and we have assisted well over 15,000 people to date. Add your skills to our closely-knit all-female team and you can help thousands more on the road to recovery.

We are looking to appoint a Fundraiser to support Woman’s Trust in achieving its annual fundraising target by securing new trust, and statutory income, and sustaining new and existing funding.

The Fundraiser will have an integral role in researching and writing funding bids, building effective donor journeys to increase individual giving, and developing community fundraising opportunities.

In return, you can expect exceptional career satisfaction plus an excellent package of benefits including:

• Hybrid working - 50% of working week to be spent in the office
• 25 days’ holiday 
• 3% pension contribution
• Comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme
• Cycle-to-work scheme
