Development Manager – closing date 28 February 2022

A passionate advocate for history, you will be interested in driving charity development and nurturing relationships. You will be experienced in successfully designing and delivering fundraising activities.

Working with the Director and Chairman, you will be responsible for creating, executing and embedding the fundraising strategy covering the next 3 years. You will increase income so that core costs are covered. This includes grant writing, as well as maintaining and growing individual and organisational giving.

You will bring creative thinking, an innovative approach and a fresh perspective to help develop the Trust so that it will continue to safeguard the nation’s milling heritage for many years to come. Your work will ensure sustainable growth to enable the Trust to share this rich milling heritage with more people and encourage a revival in preservation and participation in history.

If the above sounds like you, and you are passionate about making a demonstrable impact on the evolution of a small and ambitious organisation, with no day the same, then we would welcome your application.
