You would be joining Caritas Salford at an incredibly exciting time in its 100-plus year history of providing charitable services to local communities in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. We have just opened a brand-new supported homelessness accommodation project in Manchester this month, to provide 19-bedrooms to men who would otherwise be homeless. We have ambitious plans to continue to open up more projects like this.  We help thousands of adults, young people and children every year through our numerous projects and services. 

With pioneering plans for the future, we need exceptional fundraisers to join the team who will make it happen. The Grants and Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser will be the lead fundraiser helping to develop and manage the pipeline of opportunities, develop tailored partnership pitches, oversee corporate volunteering programmes, and provide impactful stewardship and reporting to funders, ensuring sustained and diversified income for the charity. They will focus on researching and securing funding from trusts, foundations and corporate partners by building and stewarding relationships, creative and innovative approaches to engage funders and tracking fundraising performance.
