“I have worked at CHAS for over ten years now, across a variety of income streams, recently stepping into the Trust Fundraising Manager role. I’m proud to be part of the team, knowing that every gift we secure helps babies, children and young people to make the most of the short time they have with their families. I continue to feel motivated by the way CHAS shapes the care we provide to meet every family’s needs.
If you have questions about the role, you are welcome to call me directly or get in touch to arrange a time to have a confidential and informal chat. ”
About You:
- Personal values align to CHAS’ values and motivated to help us to reach our ambition.
- An excellent verbal communicator, confident in dealing with people at all levels, externally and internally, with a strong ability to influence and negotiate.
- An exceptional written communicator with the ability to write compelling and detailed fundraising proposals and reports.
- Interested and knowledgeable in current trends within trust fundraising and able to demonstrate research skills used in a role.
- Enthusiastic about delighting donors through meaningful engagement and stewardship, with a view to building relationships and increasing income.
- Organised with the ability to plan and prioritise a diverse workload, manage your own time and meet multiple deadlines under pressure.
- A collaborator who enjoys building relationships and working with a wide range of stakeholders but also able to focus on detailed solo tasks
