About the role
This is an exciting time to join TCV and our newly created TFL team. We are looking for an enthusiastic, energetic, confident individual - someone who wants to make a difference and is always willing to go the extra mile and leads by example.
Working directly with your team and the wider income generation team, you will be responsible for setting and implementing our strategic plan aligned to securing income through Trusts, Foundations and Lotteries - working with your team you will identify and develop funding proposals to those partners and stakeholders which sit outside our corporate partnership team.
With your team, you will look to develop innovative ideas and compelling proposals which enable TCV to connect even more people to the green spaces around them, across:
- Environment/nature
- Health and Wellbeing
- Learning and Skills
You will be responsible for developing and bringing to life this new approach for TCV - with an ambition to secure national and or multi-regional funding, enabling us to connect even more people to green spaces.
Ideally you will have already worked in the charity sector and are able to demonstrate experience in leading a team to secure an annual income in excess of £1m across various funding streams.
You should be confident in your ability to set ambitious goals and high standards - and be capable and experienced in leading and supporting a team to achieve both the goals and the standards. You will have ultimate responsibility for leading on both identifying and creating a pipeline of TFL funding streams to meet our annual income target.
As the lead for the TFL team, you must be confident in your ability to communicate our case for support to your team, and to both our internal and external stakeholders, ensuring our proposals are compelling, well thought out and deliver value and impact for both our funding partners and TCV.
We would expect you to be skilled and experienced in writing compelling funding applications and be able to critique and act as a sounding board for your teams own individual applications.
If you're looking for your next exciting senior role in the charity sector and feel you have the experience and drive to deliver this role - please get in touch.
You are going to lead a team with very big ambitions for 2024 and beyond!
The role will require some travel and overnight stays from time to time.
A full, clean or near clean UK driving licence is required for this post, which has been held for a minimum of one year.
