Plan International UK is a global children’s charity. We strive to advance children’s rights and equality for girls all over the world. 

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we're tackling the root causes of gender inequality and child poverty, and we are now active in more than 70 countries worldwide.

A rewarding and exciting opportunity has arisen for a Trusts Funding Officer to join the Major Partnerships Unit at Plan International UK. As Trust Funding Officer, you will independently deliver excellent account management and stewardship to a portfolio of existing donors, contributing to our goals of sustaining and increasing income from trusts and foundations. You will identify and research new prospects, follow through leads and deliver persuasive and professional proposals to secure potential donors. Overall, you will be working to a six-figure income target.

It’s an exciting time to join Plan International UK as we deliver our ambitious new organisational and fundraising strategy. Over the next year our Major Partnerships Unit will generate £10million of income from companies, trusts, foundations and major donors.

We are therefore looking for solid experience of working in a fundraising environment, managing and prioritising a portfolio of existing and prospective funders. You will have worked with a diverse range of donors, particularly with trusts and foundations and have strong interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal, as well as being a collaborative team member. You’ll have a proven track record in meeting, or exceeding, financial targets and soliciting five and six-figure gifts from existing donors and prospects.

This is a great opportunity to use your skills and experience to make an impact on Plan’s ground-breaking and important work.
