We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

Unicef UK’s Foundation Partnerships team works to deliver significant income from private trusts and foundations, institutional donors and statutory partners, in order to deliver results for children around the world.

We are seeking an experienced trusts and foundations fundraiser to oversee the Foundation Partnerships team’s work with private trust and foundation donors and strengthen our private funding strategy.

To succeed, you will have exceptional interpersonal and negotiating skills as well as a strong track record of securing six or seven figure gifts from trust and foundations, including through face-to-face negotiations.
