About Us 

Action Tutoring is an education charity that supports pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed in school. 

In the UK today, young people facing socio-economic disadvantage are less likely to achieve the grades they need to progress in life. This isn’t because they are any less able – it’s because they have less access to tools to support them to realise their potential.  

We help to level the playing field by working in partnership with schools to deliver weekly tutoring in English or Maths, to pupils who need it the most.  

Due to ongoing growth, we are now looking for a Fundraising Manager to join us in London and ensure a strong pipeline for our future. 

The Benefits 

- Salary of £35,000 - £40,000 per annum
- Flexible working  
- Workplace pension  
- 25 days’ holiday plus Bank Holidays 
- Team socials 
- Recognition schemes to celebrate staff who go above and beyond  
- Team away days with regular training opportunities

If you have experience of fundraising with grants, trusts or corporates, this is an incredible opportunity to take your next step up and join a charity that’s supporting the UK’s most disadvantaged young people.  

It’s an exciting time to join our team. We have ambitious plans for growth over the next few years to expand our work and benefit even more young people. Ensuring a solid financial base for the organisation is essential to achieving this goal – and that’s where you come in. 

As an education charity, we understand the importance of providing learning and development opportunities for our staff. You’ll receive a comprehensive induction and full training and will have the chance to broaden your areas of responsibility as you grow alongside the organisation.   

The Role

As the Fundraising Manager, you will develop and implement a fundraising strategy and ensure that our fundraising targets are met. 

In this key role, you will establish new relationships with trusts and foundations, develop our corporate case for support, manage relationships with funders and develop plans to increase our income from events and individual donors. 

Our strengths include our strong base of faithful long-term funders, demonstrable evidence of impact to strengthen our case for support, a strong reserves position, plus a large group of volunteer tutors to draw upon for links to corporates.

About You 

To join us as a Fundraising Manager, you will need: 

- Experience in fundraising with grants, trusts and/or corporates, and a track record of delivering on targets 
- Stakeholder management experience and the ability to manage long-term relationships with funders to build strong partnerships 
- Strong networking skills, and a proactive and tenacious approach to identify new avenues for income generation 
- The ability to speak and write passionately and persuasively about our work

Other organisations may call this role Charity Fundraising Manager, Grants Fundraising Manager, Philanthropy Manager, Corporate Fundraising Manager, Trusts & Corporate Fundraising Manager, Senior Fundraising Executive, or Senior Fundraising Officer. 

This is a full time role, working 37.5 hours per week. For the right candidate, we can provide this role on a part time basis, working four days per week (30 hours). 

We will be reviewing applications on a case by case basis due to business need. To avoid disappointment, please apply early and we will contact you in due course
