Realising our vision relies on raising funds from all kinds of supporters. Our Partnerships Team is here to secure high-value income that delivers transformative impact and this role focuses on grant giving from local and central government as well as Trusts and Foundations, a vitally important but relatively undeveloped area for Scope. That’s about to change as we have grown the team through investment in new roles the couple with existing people with passion and energy that together will be sector leading in both approach and impact.
A self-starter with a creative approach, our new Government Funding and Trusts Lead will be responsible for their own portfolio of funders but also driving their team of 3 to build new relationships and cultivate existing partners. We don’t think this is just about writing high scoring bids but working with and understanding funders and co-creating to deliver impactful programmes that change lives.
The post-holder will work with the Head of Partnerships Income and the wider organisation to develop and implement an ambitious strategy for grant funders that takes our work to a whole new level.

This is an important role for Scope. Success will require tenacity, but we are determined grow this area of our fundraising portfolio and you will have the mandate and all the support needed to make a real, positive difference.
While we are looking for someone with experience of grants and trusts fundraising, what we really want is a team member with the skills, attitude and approach needed to succeed so we will consider people with other experience. If you are up for the challenge, we’re keen to hear from you.
We ask you to show an appreciation of Scope’s values and our ambition of everyday equality for disabled people.
By living our values and trusting each other, we give our colleagues freedom and space to be creative, push boundaries and change minds.
