We are thrilled to be working with the Ben Kinsella Trust to recruit their first Head of Fundraising. The Ben Kinsella Trust is one of the leading anti-knife crime charities in the UK – the Trust exists to campaign against knife crime and to educate young people, helping them to make positive choices to stay safe.
In this role, you will be responsible for the Trust’s fundraising, aiming to raise ~£280,000 from a range of corporates, trusts, and individuals. They see big opportunity in the corporate space, so experience of new business approaches will be key. You’ll devise and execute impactful engagement opportunities, including the Trust’s annual supporter event and a variety of challenge events. You won’t just manage these relationships—you’ll shape the future of Ben Kinsella’s fundraising strategy, working closely with the CEO and Deputy CEO to do so.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a seasoned fundraiser looking for a role they can shape and develop, in a small but hugely ambitious team – and most importantly, to make a real change in the lives of young people.
To be successful as the Head of Fundraising, you will need:
1. Significant experience of major donor, corporate or trusts and foundations fundraising (or equivalent transferable experience)
2. Excellent written and verbal communications skills, with a knack for building relationships across a range of stakeholders
3. Experience of developing a fundraising strategy, processes, and operations
4. Strong analytical mindset and approach
