FareShare is an equal opportunity employer, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds and abilities and as a Disability Confident Employer, we provide reasonable adjustments.

The role

This is an exciting time to join FareShare as we enter a period of expansion, recruiting to three identical roles across FareShare UK-owned sites in Merseyside, East Anglia (Ipswich) and Southern Central (Hampshire). These roles, reporting into the Regional Manager of each site, have been created to sustain, and in time, increase the financial sustainability of these operations. Whilst the income generating opportunities may vary by area, you will become a support team to one another.

Each post holder will be expected to build positive working relationships with the local on-site team and be embedded in the FareShare operation at their respective site.

These new roles will also enable FareShare UK to test a regionally-led approach to income generation, testing new initiatives and ways of working. In collaboration with the Senior Network Fundraising Manager, these learnings will help inform our work with the wider network of FareShare network partners who operate across the country.

Main areas of responsibility

As the Development Manager in FareShare Merseyside, you will be responsible for driving income generation and raising awareness of FareShare’s work in the region. This includes the development of a fundraising strategy, the prospecting and securing of new partnerships and funding, with oversight and responsibility of all income generating streams.

• Mutually beneficial partnerships: You will work closely with key funders to develop partnerships that are about more than just income, ensuring that our goals, as well as theirs, are met.
• An innovation mindset: You will take the lead in reviewing new fundraising ideas and opportunities, creating business cases where needed. You will develop a pipeline of income generation opportunities, ensuring FareShare Merseyside is set-up for long-term growth.

• Build and manage a portfolio of high value strategic partners and funders to support FareShare Merseyside’s growth, with development plans in place for all key relationships.
• Oversee the development of a healthy pipeline of funding prospects, with an eye on ensuring long-term sustainability and multi-year funding and partnerships.
• Work closely with colleagues across the organisation to identify new income generating opportunities – across both high value and public fundraising.

In addition, you will...

What you’ll bring to the role

We have listed below, the experience and attributes we’re looking for, but we understand that not everyone will tick every box. So don’t worry. If you can demonstrate the core competencies, and more importantly, have the drive and passion for the role – we’d still love to hear from you. We’re committed to supporting your development in the areas where you may have less experience.

• A proven track record in developing and managing funding partnerships in either the charity or commercial sector.
• In your career, you have engaged, managed and grown relationships with funders/ partners, increasing their financial support over time.

• You have experience in influencing and managing people, building strong internal relationships to deliver results.

• Knowledge of the funding landscape within the Merseyside area.
• Experience of working in a federated or network organisation.
