Senior Trusts Officer

Prospectus are excited to be working exclusively with a national charity to help them recruit for a Senior Trusts Officer to join their team. The organisation is a leading charity working with refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK. Founded in 1951 following the creation of the UN Refugee Convention, they exist to support and empower people who have fled conflict, violence and persecution in order to rebuild their lives here in the UK. They work with over 14,000 women, men and children each year who are desperately seeking safety.

The role is offered on a permanent flexible full-time basis with a salary of £38,166 to £41,286 per annum with flexible hybrid working or remote working options between home and their Stratford office.

The post holder will manage relationships with trusts with a potential or actual income of £25,000 or more, including preparing applications and reports, holding face-to-face meetings, making calls, and organising visits to see our work. They will conduct prospect research to consider which trusts they should apply to and develop cultivation plans to build relationships. The post holder will prepare 'cases for support' for their key priority projects, by keeping up to date with their work, and how it's changing in the future.

They are looking for someone with demonstrable experience in securing five figure funding from trusts, lottery or statutory sources. They are looking for a candidate with demonstrable experience managing a portfolio of active grants, and reporting back to funders on time, and meeting their requirements. The ideal candidate will have an interest in the issues affecting refugees and people seeking asylum and an understanding of the UK trust fundraising environment.
