ThinkForward is recruiting a Senior Fundraising Officer in London to join our team fundraising for our unique programme supporting young people into further education and employment.
About ThinkForward: Why we exist
ThinkForward exists to empower young people to create better and brighter futures. We want them to be able to identify, realise and shape their aspirations and be ready to make a successful transition into work.
Young people experiencing barriers such as challenging relationships, living in low income households, or growing up in areas with a lack of access to opportunities can be confronted with hurdles. Without the right support these can lead to high risks of unemployment and long term effects on their career and life chances.
There are more than 800,000 16 24 year olds in the UK who aren’t at school or college, or don’t have a job or training place. Our ambition is to prevent young people becoming one of these statistics.
About ThinkForward: What we do
We run three programmes that help young people to gain the independence, skills and confidence they need to fulfil their potential and have happy and successful futures. In an ever changing world we support them to prepare for their move to adulthood, the working world and the start of the rest of their lives.
Overview of the role
The new role of Senior Fundraising Officer offers a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious fundraiser to join our successful Development Team and play a key role in helping us grow the reach and impact of our coaching programmes for young people.
We are looking for someone with experience in raising funds from trusts and foundations, corporate donors or high-net worth individuals. Our ideal candidate will be an excellent writer with experience in drafting grant applications and reports. They will also be interested in advancing their fundraising career in a collaborative team, with coaching and personal development at its heart.
As Senior Fundraising Officer, you will work flexibly across all our income streams, securing grants and stewarding relationships with trusts and foundations, corporate partners, statutory agencies, and high-net worth individuals.

You will develop strong relationships internally to facilitate a collaborative approach to fundraising, working closely with our team of Business Partnership Managers, who coordinate 'Ready for Work' activities with our corporate partners and their foundations, as well as developing funding applications and reports alongside our delivery and impact teams and our young people.
The successful candidate will be comfortable working with healthy pressure within a supportive team culture and will be able to maintain a high level of productivity, pace and resilience in what is a challenging funding environment.
