Job description

Over the last five years we have secured significant capital and revenue funding from a wide range of funders, with the support of fundraising consultants. We’re now looking for a dynamic and experienced fundraiser to build upon existing research and relationships, and help us grow our innovative, multi-facetted project.

This role provides an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic, dynamic individual to play a catalytic role in an exciting, innovative and transformational project.

The successful candidate will join a growing, dedicated team, working to the Chief Executive and the Board of Trustees. We are looking for an individual with experience of Trust, Foundation, Corporate and Philanthropic fundraising with a successful track record of securing significant grants and donations.

We recognise, however, that we may be unlikely to find a “unicorn” candidate with experience of all types of charitable fundraising; we will therefore consider applications from candidates with experience of some types of funders, and aptitude and capability to develop skills with others. Specialist knowledge of the communities and heritage of Oldham, and an affinity for horticulture, ecology, arts, culture or outdoor sports would be an advantage.
