The Role

The post holder will be responsible for our established individual giving and in memory programmes including our annual Light up a Life Appeal, Sponsor a Nurse and Tree of Life and you will have the opportunity to evaluate and improve on their success.  You’ll work with the Fundraising Manager to write persuasive and inspiring appeals to an existing portfolio of charitable trusts and undertake research into prospective ones. You will also help inform and steward our legacy programme.  With support, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our income from individuals and trusts.

What you need

The successful candidate will be highly organised and must have excellent relationship building and communication skills, both written and verbal.  You will deliver our individual giving, legacy, and trust fundraising programmes with intelligence, drive and importantly, care.  You should have a good eye for detail and ideally, already be accustomed to using databases to extract and analyse data and have demonstrable experience of writing persuasively to different audiences.  You’ll need to be able to work well within a busy team in order to support the whole team to achieve targets.  Some knowledge of our catchment area (the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton) would be an advantage.
