• Prepare fundraising materials, proposals and tailored approaches for prospective supporters.

• Build relationships with businesses, donors and other potential funding partners.

• Lead outreach activities and engage senior business contacts.

• Experience identifying funding opportunities and securing financial contributions.

• Strong relationship-building and networking skills.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including proposal writing.

• A proactive and self-motivated approach, with the ability to work independently and deliver results within tight timescales.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.

Experience within the charity, not-for-profit or public sector would be advantageous.

The role is based near Cambridge, with some flexibility around working arrangements. Due to the rural location, a full driving licence and access to a car are essential.
