Trust & Foundation Lead

We are seeking a proactive, ambitious, and experienced Trust and Foundation Lead to join our growing Philanthropy Team at Princess Alice Hospice. This is an exciting time to join us as we embark on developing a new strategy, presenting numerous opportunities to create impactful funding proposals and significantly boost our income.

The successful candidate will report to the Head of Philanthropy and become part of our busy and highly successful fundraising team. Our team raises over £3 million annually, which is a vital contribution to the £11.5 million needed each year to provide our free, high-quality care to our local communities.

About the role:

This role is pivotal in securing funds through Trusts and Foundations. You will cultivate and secure high-value partnerships with a diverse portfolio of funders unlocking significant five- and six-figure gifts. By nurturing existing relationships and identifying new opportunities, you’ll deepen engagement and align philanthropic support with our mission: to provide the best care and support for our communities, before, during and after death.

The role will be a mixture of bid development, submission and reporting, alongside relationship management to develop opportunities with new and existing partners. It would suit somebody who is skilled at developing internal and external relationships and using these to create robust and impactful cases for support to secure income.

Experience of working with Trusts and Foundations or working with funding partners will be highly beneficial, although candidates who can demonstrate excellent writing, relationship management and budgeting skills in other sectors will also be considered.

About you:

You are a dedicated and skilled professional with a strong background in fundraising or a related field. Your ability to develop and manage relationships, coupled with your excellent writing and budgeting skills, makes you an ideal fit for this role. You are proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to our mission. Your work will be crucial in securing the funds needed to support our services.

If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference we’d love to hear from you – even if you’re not sure you meet every requirement of the role.

As well as our competitive salary package and the opportunity of joining an organisation where you will be able to make a difference to our community, we offer a range of great benefits, which include:

27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays – rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)
