At the Youth Sport Trust we’re driving change. As the leading youth sport charity we are devoted to improving the lives of young people through high quality PE and sport. We are an ambitious charity with a clear vision for growth and a strong sense of values. Now is an exciting time for a creative and experienced fundraiser to join us and attract new supporters and secure new income as well as strengthen relationships with current funders to meet ambitious income targets.

As Fundraising Manager we will look to you to line manage a small team and grow support from a range of sources to maximise unrestricted fundraising income. This will include delivering an annual challenge and events programme, securing grants from trusts and foundations, developing fundraising campaigns and managing Charity of the Year partnerships. You will also lead on relationships with individual supporters as well as identify prospective funders, build links, and establish a fundraising pipeline. In addition, you will monitor effectiveness, oversee regular stakeholder reporting and ensure learning is utilised to improve performance.

You will demonstrate an enviable record of delivering increased funding from a range of sources. Your skills at researching funding opportunities and identifying prospects will be complemented by the ability to produce and deliver high level proposals/pitches. You will also possess a good understanding of best practice fundraising techniques. You understand, through your knowledge of relationship management and good customer care, that building rapport with others is essential and excel at managing donor relationships.

Join our team and enjoy benefits including 30 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, pension contribution of 5% of basic salary, childcare vouchers and healthy living allowance. Youth Sport Trust positively welcomes and seeks to ensure we achieve diversity in our workforce and that all job applicants and employees receive equal and fair treatment.
