About The Talent Foundry

Since 2009, we've helped nearly 700,000 young people aged 7–18 from underserved backgrounds discover their talents, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed in education and work.

We're ambitious, inclusive and inquisitive; and we're just getting started.

The role

This is a strategic and hands-on position, perfect for a fundraiser who loves building something new. You'll lead the development of new income streams, grow philanthropic and major gifts support, and work closely with senior leadership to strengthen the organisation's long-term financial sustainability.

About you

You'll have direct UK charity fundraising experience and a strong track record of securing six-figure income through trusts and foundations, major gifts or corporate foundations. You'll be an outstanding communicator, a collaborative colleague and someone who genuinely cares about social mobility.

Lived experience of the challenges faced by young people from underserved backgrounds is warmly welcomed, though not essential.

37.5 hours per week (0.8 FTE considered)
28 days annual leave plus bank holidays

Summary

Fundraising and Partnerships Lead/Manager – TITLE TBC

Reporting to: Chief Executive

Salary: TBC

Permanent

Location: Hybrid

Role Purpose

Together Active exists to design out inactivity across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent by shifting the systems that shape people’s ability to live active, healthy lives. We do this by convening partners, strengthening capacity, amplifying lived experience and using evidence to influence change. We do not deliver activities directly.

As our work becomes more ambitious and sometimes more challenging to established systems, it is essential that our funding model supports rather than constrains our role.

This role exists to shape and steward a diverse, values-aligned income portfolio that:

reduces reliance on any single funder
strengthens organisational independence
supports our ability to act as a confident critical friend in the system
aligns funding with our systems-change role rather than delivery models

This is not a transactional fundraising role. It is about securing the right income from the right places for the right reasons, so Together Active can remain principled, independent and effective.

Role Outcomes

A More Balanced and Resilient Funding Portfolio

Together Active has a diversified income mix that reduces reliance on any single funder and increases organisational resilience. Funding sources complement each other and provide stability across the life of the strategy, with a growing proportion of multi-year and infrastructure funding. Income diversification strengthens the organisation’s sustainability rather than creating short term funding pressures.

Greater Independence and Permission to Challenge

Together Active can play a confident critical friend role within the system. Funding relationships do not constrain our voice or limit our ability to surface uncomfortable truths about inequality, participation or system barriers. No single funder has disproportionate influence over our priorities, tone or ambition.

Strong Alignment Between Funding and Our Systems Role

The majority of income secured supports Together Active’s core role as a systems convenor and capacity builder, including:

convening and coordination
system learning and insight
capacity building across partners
prevention and inequalities work
influence and system change

Increased Legitimacy Across Systems

Together Active is recognised across statutory, voluntary and philanthropic sectors as a credible and trusted system actor. Funding partnerships strengthen our reputation and widen the coalition supporting the role of physical activity within prevention, health, community development and inequalities agendas. New funding relationships reinforce rather than confuse our organisational identity.

Clear Organisational Discipline Around Income

Funding decisions are principled and strategic rather than purely opportunity led and

Together Active has shared internal clarity about:

what constitutes “good income”
what income is conditional or requires careful consideration
which funding opportunities we will not pursue

Trustees and leadership have confidence that funding choices align with organisational values and long term direction.

What This Looks Like Day to Day

The role is flexible and will shift depending on what’s emerging across the system.

You’ll have clear outcomes, but freedom in how you get there.

Some of the work might look like:

Building and stewarding relationships with trusts, foundations, statutory bodies and strategic partners whose priorities align with prevention, inequality and system change

Identifying funding opportunities that support backbone functions such as coordination, learning, insight and capacity building

Working closely with colleagues across the organisation to translate Together Active’s work into credible and compelling funding propositions

Developing narratives that explain complex systems work clearly without simplifying or distorting it

Advising the CEO and trustees on funding opportunities, risks, dependencies and power dynamics

Contributing funding intelligence to organisational strategy discussions

Supporting the organisation to articulate and price the value of coordination, convening and learning functions

Maintaining awareness of the wider funding, policy and partnership landscape

Person Specification

People build relevant experience in many different ways. You may have developed your skills through fundraising, partnerships, public sector work, consultancy, campaigning, community organising, commercial roles, or other routes.

We are less interested in the path you have taken and more interested in how you think, how you work and how you approach complex problems. When applying, you should feel free to demonstrate your experience in whatever way best reflects your pathway.

The capabilities that will matter most in this role

building meaningful relationships with funders, partners or collaborators and maintaining those relationships over time

translating complex work into clear and credible propositions that others can understand and support

navigating systems that involve multiple stakeholders, competing priorities and power dynamics

thinking strategically about income, including the opportunities and constraints different funding relationships create

working collaboratively across teams and disciplines to shape ideas and opportunities

exercising sound judgement about when to pursue an opportunity and when to step back

being comfortable working with ambiguity, iteration and learning rather than fixed delivery models

It may also help if you bring experience or insight in these areas

experience building or stewarding corporate or cross-sector partnerships, particularly where relationships go beyond sponsorship and involve shared learning, influence or collaboration

experience working within infrastructure, intermediary or non-delivery organisations, where the focus is enabling others rather than delivering services directly

experience of systems change, prevention, inequality or place-based work

experience shaping or contributing to collaborative bids or partnership funding opportunities

experience translating insight, research or learning into propositions or funding narratives

understanding of how funding relationships can influence organisational behaviour, independence and voice
