ROLE DESCRIPTION

In your role you will lead on trusts and foundations revenue funding applications and stewardship, as well as playing a part in World Heart Beat’s wider fundraising. You will be supported in the post by our Director of Philanthropy & Commercial, who is leading the development of new earned income streams, alongside the wider executive and delivery teams, and a highly engaged Board of Trustees and Youth Board.
It is an exciting time for the charity, following the opening of World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens, our second site for music teaching, which includes a new concert hall and studios.

If you are an accomplished bid writer looking to take on your first senior level position or are a more senior candidate who may be returning to work after a pause in your career or are looking to balance a role with wider parenting and caring responsibilities, or would simply like a change of organisation, we would love to hear from you!
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
As lead grant bid writer, including for large multiyear requests, you will shape considered and compelling approaches and accompanying budgets in liaison with our Community & Events Producer, Artistic Director, Finance Manager and wider team – creating bids which bring to life World Heart Beat’s work and are aligned to funders’ priorities and interests.
