Fundraising Manager

Tibet Relief Fund (TRF) has been working to empower Tibetans living in exile in India, Nepal and across the world for over 60 years. We fund grassroots Tibetan-led organisations & communities to provide key services which enable access to health care, education and sustainable livelihoods, as well as supporting projects which promote the preservation and celebration of Tibetan language and culture.

We are in the process of restructuring the charity to streamline our operations, optimise resources and strengthen the impact of our work and so are now looking for an experienced, successful, hands on, Fundraising Manager.

There are some skills, experiences and ways of working which we feel are essential to thrive as our Fundraising Manager:

· You’ve worked as a fundraiser and proved you can raise money.

· Knowledge of best practice and the legal frameworks for fundraising.

· Comfortable with the ‘all hands to the deck’ approach that’s essential in a small organisation.

· Interest and experience (whether voluntary or professional) in international development

· Able to work closely with the Charity Manager – for example when working with major donors.

· A great project manager, used to working productively and meeting deadlines.

· Good financial nouse – comfortable setting, monitoring and managing budgets and with a focus on ROI.

It is a brilliant opportunity to feel your fundraising skills are making a real difference, to widen your experience of different types of fundraising and to hone your management skills.

We have a salary budget of up £45K for a full-time post, however we are keen to be as flexible as possible for the right person. This could mean condensed or annualised hours (this means working more hours in, for example, term time and fewer in holidays periods). Our preferance is for this position to be filled by a candidate working full time hours however, we will also consider applications from candidates that can work four days a week or, from candidates that can work five days a week that need to leave mid afternoon to accomodate a school run, childcare or caring responsibilites.
