Do you share our vision of challenging disability through outdoor adventure? We are looking for a passionate individual who is an experienced Trust Fundraiser as well as an expereinced Manager to join our fun vibrant team.

Calvert Exmoor is a national charity perched on the edge of Wistlandpound Reservoir and in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of Exmoor, our award-winning activity centre offers accessible breaks for people with physical, learning, behavioural and sensory disabilities, while our incredible staff help to provide life-changing experiences through a selection of adventurous outdoor activities.

We are reliant on fundraising to support the charity’s core work and development needs, therefore it is vital that you have experience working in an organisation that is heavily dependant on fundraising in order to meet its objectives. This is a key management role and as such you will be part of the Senior Management Team, having full input into the direction and strategy of the organisation.

You will need to be a self-starter with excellent written skills, the ability to build a rapport quickly, be self-motivated with top class organisational skills and able to prioritise your own workload to meet deadlines. You will need to have an optimistic outlook, be solution focused and be comfortable managing and developing a small and ambitious team.

If you are able to demonstrate a track record of securing income and developing opportunities successfully and, as befits a smaller team, are highly organised and focused, and open to some element of flexible working we’d love to hear form you. 

What we are looking for:

• Have an optimistic outlook, be solution focused and be happy working within an ambitious team with targets to achieve.
• You will enjoy building strong relationships both internally and externally with GMTs, businesses and community groups who want to support our work.
• You will bring the ability to write compelling and inspiring content.
• Excellent written and report writing skills with experience of gathering, analysing and interpreting complex information to write high-quality, tailored proposals/reports.
• Good verbal communication skills.
• A self-starter, with the ability to plan, organise and prioritise workloads and work under pressure to meet tight timescales and strict deadlines.
• Excellent research skills and demonstratable experience with key trust funding resources.
• A positive and passionate team player with the ability to work within a small but busy team.
• Good IT skills and the ability to use databases (preferably Donorfy) and electronic systems for recording information. Excellent excel skills would be an advantage.
• Experience of working against and successfully achieving set income targets.
• Whilst the marketing element is supervisory, marketing and communications experience with the ability to understand and direct content across multiple media packages would be an advantage.

Benefits:

• Generous holiday allowance
• Employee Assistance Programme
• A stunning work location
• On-site parking
• A collaborative and friendly work environment
• Exciting training and progression opportunities
• The chance to make a real difference in the work you do

If you feel you could bring the right qualities, skills and experience to this exciting role and help in our mission to challenge disability through outdoor adventure, we’d love to hear from you!
