Would you like to play a pivotal role in the fundraising team of a small and dynamic charity? Do you thrive in a busy and interesting work environment? Do you enjoy juggling a varied workload? Do you want to play your part in transforming the lives of thousands of vulnerable and traumatised children?

One to One Children’s Fund works with some of the most vulnerable children in the world, helping them to deal with disease, trauma and disability, and giving them the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives. We identify and fill the gaps neglected by Governments and other agencies, improving children’s access to vital treatment, education and support, and building models at the grass roots which can be easily adopted and replicated by Governments to ensure their sustainability. We build the capability of those best placed to respond to the needs of children: families, health professionals, teachers, communities and local organisations, and we give particular priority to children’s emotional, social and psychological needs. The Charity currently has ground-breaking programmes in Africa, the Middle East and Kosovo.

Under the direction of One to One Children’s Fund Director of Development, the Funding & Development Officer will contribute to the overall fundraising strategy of the organisation and generate an agreed income target. You will have a proven track record in fundraising in the trust and foundation arena and preferably experience of working with major donors. You will be proactive and creative, and be able to demonstrate the necessary empathy and conviction to convince funders of the worth of our projects and to secure new income flows. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to interpret and synthesise complex information into compelling messages. You will have strong organisational skills and attention to detail and be able to work to tight deadlines.
