The Development Coordinator is a newly created position that will play a crucial role in supporting Outside Edge’s fundraising activities and income diversification plans. Working closely with the CEO, Trustees and external consultants, the role has a particular focus on cultivating and stewarding donors, trust and foundation fundraising and communications.

We welcome applications from candidates that are interested in taking their first steps to develop a career in fundraising.

The Development Coordinator will play a key role in ensuring the effective day-to-day delivery of fundraising activity, from supporter communications and database management to donor stewardship coordination. They will lead on writing small to mid-scale grant applications to trusts and foundations, contribute to larger funding bids, and support evaluation and reporting.
