Trusts and Grants Manager

at  CrossReach

At CrossReach, we offer a range of different services for older people, adults and children, enhancing, changing and saving lives every day. To do this, we rely on funding from various sources, and it is paramount that we secure this to be able to keep offering our highly regarded services.
We are thrilled to grow and develop our Fundraising and Engagement team to help us develop our Fundraising offering, build lasting relationships and achieve our ambitious targets. This is an exciting time to join us as we not only grow but also have the opportunity to be creative, create lasting impact and take ownership of an area with huge potential.
We are now looking for an experienced and creative Trusts and Grants Manager to join our integrated team and to help us keep delivering our vital services. Reporting directly to the Head of Fundraising and Engagement, you will be responsible for researching and applying for a range of funding to support our life changing services.
The duties of this role include, undertaking proposals, researching, and reporting to maximise income received from trust, philanthropic grant makers and special project funds. You must be able to research and write high quality funding proposals and work closely with the Head of Fundraising to deliver a trust and foundations strategy.
You will be responsible for providing advice and direction to service managers as required, to help them with forward planning on funding. The current target is £700,000 per year, but this would be likely to increase. As such, we require an individual that has previous experience of meeting these kinds of targets, be able to identify new opportunities and it is vital that you can build strong relationships.
We are also proud to work closely as a team, providing opportunities to grow and develop in other areas.
We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.
Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life’s challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.
But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
