Fundraising co-ordinator

Mosaic is in an exciting period of growth as an organisation and this post dedicated to fundraising will play a pivotal role in helping us to support children and young people across the county when they have experienced the death of someone important to them.

As part of a team based in Dorchester, you'll work closely with the CEO and Head of Funding to plan and deliver a range of fundraising activities and support across our communities, advising us on what more we can do to make a difference. Writing applications for grants, going to a local group to talk about an event, planning our corporate strategy - each day will be different so we're looking for someone who likes the variety and is a real team-player.

We are looking for someone with a minimum of one year's experience in trust and foundation fundraising, good writing skills, with experience of developing high-quality proposals and grant applications. You'll enjoy getting to know our volunteers and counsellors, team and some of the wonderful families we work with.

We're a small team of 11 and work across functions to help each other and share ideas. You'll have good communication skills, with the ability to build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, including donors, volunteers, and colleagues. Mosaic is a charity for bereaved children, and we will offer you professional training on safeguarding, bereavement and charity fundraising.

Mosaic offers a pension, travel expenses are fully paid and you'll have 18 days holiday (22 FTE) plus bank holidays and time off between Christmas and New Year. Employees enjoy a NEST pension with us (Employer contribution 3%).
