As Philanthropy Officer at Cheshire Wildlife Trust, you'll join a small but fast-paced, purpose-driven Fundraising & Communications team at a critical time for nature. You'll help identify potential high-value donors as well as supporting the cultivation of prospects and delivery of excellent stewardship journeys that inspire people to make a lasting impact for wildlife.


This is a new role - ideal for someone who brings initiative, has exceptional communication skills, and a thoughtful, strategic approach to donor engagement. You'll have a strong track record of planning donor events and building lasting relationships with warmth and professionalism.


Ideally, you'll have secured significant gifts but if you have experience of working in fundraising or donor relations and have the confidence to make philanthropic asks, this is an ideal opportunity to develop your career in major donor fundraising. You'll work closely with the Director of Fundraising & Communications and other colleagues to develop and deliver the Trust's new philanthropy programme.


You'll be joining a charity with bold ambitions and a clear mission to restore nature across Cheshire. Your work will directly support that goal. If you're looking for a role where you can build on what you've achieved and see the difference you make every day, we'd love to hear from you.


This is a full time position, however part time will be considered.


To apply, please email your cover letter and CV in PDF format to Emma Raine no later than midday on Wednesday the 9th of July 2025. Interviews will be held on Thursday 24th July.


No agencies please.


You may be required to carry out a DBS check for this role.


Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Sorry, we are unable to offer sponsorship for this position.
