About the role

Like many benevolent fund charities, Foothold has a small staff team, but our impact is mighty!

We’re looking for someone who loves building relationships and takes pride in their work, to join our flexible, remotely-based team as our new Relationship Fundraiser.

We’re looking to build a relationship-first culture in which lasting, mutually beneficial relationships can match supporters’ interests and motivations with our work.

As a charity dedicated to helping engineers and their families, creating and developing direct relationships with people and organisations in the engineering sector is essential for us to maximise our impact.

As our Relationship Fundraiser you’ll work with colleagues, Trustees, and supporters to explore the relationships they hold, and how they can add value to our mission.

You’ll undertake prospect identification, research, and plan approaches to develop relationships with, and income from, corporate and individual supporters.

You’ll play a key role in creating and managing relationships within the engineering community, raising funds for, and awareness of, the vital support we provide for people when life becomes challenging.

How we work

We find creative ways of working as a team and look to showcase the individual talents and personalities that people bring to their role.

We encourage our team to be all-rounders, and you’ll be working closely and collaboratively with your Fundraising and Communications Team colleagues to create compelling opportunities and cases for support.

This is a great opportunity to join a small, talented, and committed team as we test the best ways of engaging the engineering community.

You’ll help us evolve our relationships and grow our income, and in turn we’ll provide you with the support and autonomy to grow your skills.

We’re confident that you’ll enjoy working alongside the wider team and look forward to hearing from you.
