Funding Manager Opportunity

Funding Manager 

£36,000 - £44,000 + a generous reward package 

 

Introduction to the role 

This senior role is an integral part of Green Light Trust, where you will work closely with senior management and the trustees to shape the future direction of the charity. This role directly reports to the CEO and will be responsible for a small team leading on public relations and marketing. The main essence of the role is to write funding bids and liaise with commissioners to secure funding so we can continue to deliver and grow our services across our sites. Whilst we have solid evidence demonstrating the outcomes and impact of our work, the role requires a degree on tenacity to seek results. You will need to be creative, flexible and a team player. You will have a large degree of autonomy in this role, taking a ‘hands-on’ approach to getting things done.

  • Management of a team leading on public relations and marketing for the charity
