Philanthropy & Development Officer

In this exciting new role, we are looking for a passionate and ambitious Philanthropy & Development Officer to join our team and support our Head of Philanthropy & Development (HPD) to put rocket boosters under our Individual Giving and the work that supports it.

In 2024, we identified individual giving and philanthropy as being an area of growth within our fundraising team and are designing a new fundraising strategy that will support plans to increase donations to over £500,000 by the end of 2026.

You will be the first point of contact for donations and use our well-honed systems so that our varied and loyal supporters each get a quality stewardship journey, ensuring they feel valued and connected to our work. You will work closely with the HPD to nurture our loyal donor base and grow new supporter relationships, so that we increase donor retention and income across philanthropy as a whole.

We are looking for a go-to person who has a keen eye for detail and can tailor messaging to different audiences. Someone who has the energy and the motivation to not only value our supporters, but who also enjoys going the extra mile and can make things happen.
