It’s a fascinating and exciting time to join us as our fundraising team begins to mature, developing the foundations of fundraising programmes to support our activity for years to come.

 

We’re are a tight-knit, dynamic and creative fundraising team with a focus on securing the right money for the right purpose and building collaborative relationships with those who support our work.

 

The projects we support as a fundraising team are wide-ranging and include social enterprise, employability, independence, health & wellbeing and social isolation/loneliness. Charitable funding can make a huge impact on the lives of thousands of people with a learning disability across the UK and you can play a significant role in making it happen.

 

Our Trusts and Grants Team has been in existence for two years, and in that time secured over £1m towards our work. We have established strong relationships with funders who are truly invested in our work. Now we are looking to sustain these, and build more, over the long-term.

 

We are looking for a Trusts and Grants Manager to lead on all aspects of our trusts and grants fundraising and be responsible for securing income to support our work. You will line manage other members of the Trusts and Grants team and work strategically with the rest of the team and our subsidiary companies to deliver the right funding for the right work.

 

Reporting to the Head of Fundraising, you will be responsible for investigating, researching and making approaches for new funding as well as maintaining and developing existing relationships to ensure future support.

 

This role is remotely based (though the team will be tight-knit, meeting regularly either in person or via phone/video calls) and an element of travelling is required. It comes with 25 days holiday + 8 days bank holidays.

 

We reserve the right to close this advert before the deadline.

 

There is currently no legal requirement for individuals joining Thera to be fully vaccinated against covid-19, however we do follow Government guidance and believe that they are an effective way to support everyone's safety. There is an expectation of anyone joining us that if vaccinations against any disease/virus become law, then you will be required to follow such guidance, and your contract of employments will reflect this.
