Job description

Lesley Hynes Fundraising is looking for an experienced trust fundraiser who wants to take their career to the next level.

We are looking for someone who is a great trust fundraiser _today_ and who has the ambition to build a stellar future career in this space.

Lesley Hynes Fundraising works exclusively with small and medium-sized charities and NGOs, providing fundraising expertise, strategic direction and hands-on fundraising support to help charities achieve sustainable growth.

Our clients are charities working in mental health, rare disease, the environment, asylum support, food aid, the criminal justice system, and homelessness.

We work with them in the long-term and are a critical part of their organisations. We don't dip in and out. We are a constant. We've worked with 30% of our clients for over a decade.

Our specialism is in raising multi-year unrestricted funding from charitable trusts and foundations. We are determined to succeed and we are tenacious for our charity clients. Since 2010, we have raised £33 million for them.

Our team is made up of five established trust fundraisers, most of whom have over 20 years' experience in fundraising for a broad range of charities across the sector, including health, social welfare, human rights, refugees, penal reform, arts and the environment.

The work is varied and hugely satisfying and the culture friendly, professional, supportive and respectful.

As Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser you will:

• Develop and deliver a strategy to maximise Trust and Foundation income and ensure that all opportunities for securing grant income for Lesley Hynes Fundraising clients, or similar sources of funding, are explored.
• Undertake detailed prospect research and maintain accurate records of the research for Lesley Hynes Fundraising clients.
• On occasion assist in the organisation of events in order to present Lesley Hynes Fundraising clients' case for support, and attend external meetings with Trusts and Foundations if the client requires.

If you have over 5 years experience in trust fundraising and a track record of success, we hope you will consider joining our team and we look forward to hearing from you.

Applicants not contacted within 2 weeks of the closing date should assume they have been unsuccessful.
