Role Summary
Port Sunlight was declared a conservation area in 1978. It contains more than 900 Grade II listed buildings in 130 acres of parkland and gardens. It is also home to a thriving community and welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. It is important to strike a balance between the past and the present, which is where Port Sunlight Village Trust comes in.
Port Sunlight is considered to be one of the finest surviving examples of an industrial worker village and is an important national heritage asset. Port Sunlight is noted for its significant influence on the design of ‘garden villages’ around the world and its emphasis on providing beauty for all.
This is a varied and fun fundraising role working alongside colleagues in commercial, heritage, education, operations and landscape teams to grow our income by securing funding and donations from funding bodies, major donors and individuals, while working collaboratively to grow support and awareness of our charity’s work.
You will deliver our fundraising strategy and day-to-day fundraising activity, which includes researching, identifying and applying for funds, developing one-off and recurring donation opportunities, and supporting colleagues with applications for projects.
You will raise the profile of our organisation as custodian of Port Sunlight, and ensure that village residents, businesses, groups and key stakeholders in the region are aware of and engaged in our fundraising priorities.
You will use your experience as a fundraiser to achieve both financial results, and also stakeholder and funder advocacy. You will use your skills as an excellent communicator, juggle competing priorities and be effective in managing projects.
