Description:

The core purpose of the National Trust – to protect and care for places so that people and nature can thrive – depends on our crucial fundraising work. We’re looking for a Philanthropy Consultant to join us in London and the South East, to help shape and achieve our ambitious vision for fundraising.
This role can be full or part time.
Interviews will be online on 24 September 2024.
What it’s like to work here:You’ll be part of the Trust’s internal consultancy: a flexible resource of specialist skills and expertise. As one of a multidisciplinary team of experts, including curators, fundraisers, building surveyors and project managers, you’ll be working with others to help make things happen.
As this role covers the London & South East region, your contractual place of work will be the nearest National Trust consultancy office to your home. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We’ll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40–60% of your working week.
What you’ll be doing:You’ll be working alongside others responsible for raising funds, a variety of consultants, colleagues who manage Trust places and their teams who work on site. You’ll be sharing your knowledge and expertise, supporting others to develop and deepen their understanding.
You’ll help some of the Trust’s best-loved places to reach stretching targets through a range of fundraising initiatives. You’ll be responsible for developing relationships with new trusts and foundations, and with high-value supporters, talking to them about all aspects of the Trust’s work. You’ll be embedded in project teams, working with specialists from across the Trust.
You’ll expand philanthropic giving to an inspiring cause, and you’ll support and develop new fundraising initiatives.

Who we’re looking forWe’d love to hear from you if you’re:

  • experienced in developing complex fundraising plans, with multiple income streams, for projects with stretching targets, and can show evidence of hitting these targets
  • proficient in fundraising through individual giving, gifts in wills and charitable trusts
  • adept at building a compelling case for support
  • able to challenge colleagues to think differently and become innovative fundraisers
  • a skilled communicator, who can build strong relationships within diverse teams, both internally and externally
  • a flexible thinker and problem-solver, skilled at negotiating and building productive networks, and confident in using your expertise to influence decisions
  • proactive and organised, with experience of managing projects and a talent for multi-tasking and getting things done, strongly focused on detail, quality, cost and time
  • a leader for inclusion, who finds ways to create an inclusive culture.

The packageThe National Trust has the motto ‘For everyone, for ever’ at its heart. We’re working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.

  • Substantial pension scheme of up to 10% basic salary
  • Free entry to National Trust places for you, a guest and your children (under 18)
  • Rental deposit loan scheme
  • Season ticket loan
  • EV car lease scheme
  • Perks at work discounts such as gym memberships, shopping discount codes, cinema discounts
