Description

About the role

We have an exciting opportunity to join our high performing Trusts and Statutory team as a Senior Trusts Officer, with a specific focus on engagement strategies to strengthen relationships with leading trusts and foundations.

Maximising the value and contribution of our funders is fundamental to Parkinson's UK delivering the impact we want to see for people affected by Parkinson's.

Building networks, understanding what motivates our supporters, and aligning our programmes to their grantmaking strategies is key to our growth plans for Major Gifts.

You will be joining an established and high performing Major Gifts department of 17 comprising the trusts and statutory, philanthropy special events and prospect research sub-teams.

We have a well established programme raising circa £5million a year across the department to fund our vital work - and we have big ambitions to grow that further by 2024.

This role is part of the trusts and statutory team of seven.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with an established portfolio of five and six figure trust donors to help significantly grow the income over the coming years.

You will coordinate trust fundraising activity, identifying compelling project propositions, and write high quality proposals and reports in collaboration with colleagues across the charity.

As well as excellent written communications, key to success will be creating new opportunities to engage donors through events and bespoke content, and making new connections with the Parkinson's community.

What you'll do

Cultivate strong working relationships with a portfolio of trusts, increasing their involvement and engagement with the charity's work.
Create compelling proposals and reports for high and midvalue funders, securing significant gifts and growing the longterm value of your portfolio.
Championing ways of working with the Parkinson's community to enhance our fundraising approaches
Lead on the team's trust donor engagement strategies including the creation of bespoke content, collateral and targeted events

What you'll bring

Proven experience of leading successful five figure fundraising from major trusts and foundations.
Demonstrable expertise in the requirements of trusts fundraising, e.g. bidwriting, budgeting, activity and outcomes reporting.
Ability to work effectively with external people to support new projects through proposals, meetings, site visits.
Understanding of the needs of the Parkinson's community and strong interpersonal and diplomacy skills.
