Job Description

Are you an experienced fundraiser, with a track-record of securing high-value strategic gifts, developing relationships, and a desire to end homelessness?

This post is offered as Full Time (37.5 hours per week) which can be completed over 5 days, or as condensed hours over 4 days per week.

We are looking for a Senior Trust and Grants Fundraiser to join the St Mungo s Trusts and Grants fundraising team, playing a key role in helping raise vital funds for services that support people experiencing and recovering from homelessness to rebuild their lives.

In the role of Senior Trust and Grants Fundraiser you will work closely with a team of four other trust fundraisers. You will play a key role in helping to meet our income target of circa £1.5m in 2025-26 and producing high quality written proposals and reports that reflect the impact of philanthropic support on the people we work with. Other key responsibilities will include:

  • Identifying, building and nurturing relationships with prospective charitable trusts and foundations, as well as cultivating relationships with an existing portfolio of funders, securing high-value 5-6 figure gifts from trusts.
  • Crafting compelling, tailored funding applications that are aligned with trust interests and giving potential, as well as St Mungo s mission.
  • Reporting on donation impact through written updates and service visits, and collaborating with internal teams.
  • Providing line management and support to a Trust Fundraising Officer.

In this role you will be required to work flexibly for at least 2 days per week from our Central Office in Tower Hill, London. This will include Tuesdays and one other day per week of your choosing. This allows for training, in person collaboration, team building, line management and other relationship building opportunities. We support a flexible approach to work with opportunities for agile working for the rest of your week; from home, or other St Mungo s London or regional locations.

About you

We are looking for an experienced trust fundraiser with excellent communication skills, who can build relationships with funders and with colleagues from across the organisation.

  • Your strong writing skills will enable you to craft compelling, effective funding proposals and reports that convey the incredible impact that philanthropic support has on the people St Mungo s supports.
  • You will have a proactive approach and demonstrate your organisation and prioritisation skills, with the ability to think and work strategically, and enjoy working collaboratively as part of a team.
  • Previous line management experience is not necessary, but you will ideally have experience of informally supporting and motivating others and willingness to develop line management skills.

St Mungo's are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from all under-represented groups.
