An exciting opportunity has now arisen for a Fundraising Lead to join the fun-loving team at KYTHE. This is your opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of young people in your area, sourcing the funds which will continue to enable KYTHE to provide their services in your community. The new Fundraising Lead will be responsible for the development of all Fundraising elements across KYTHE. They will identify, investigate, create and manage a portfolio of high-impact potential and actual donors and charitable trusts. Funding will be sought from individual donors, churches, major gifts, foundations and philanthropic businesses.

KYTHE’s next Fundraising Lead should be an experienced Fundraiser, ideally from a Trusts & Grants background, but they are also open to experience in other areas of Fundraising. If you are a strategic thinker and operator, with an understanding of, and an empathy with, the values and the identity of KYTHE then this is the ideal opportunity for you. This role will involve the engagement and oversight of fundraising volunteers, so a natural leader would be ideal for the position. The successful candidate should also be outgoing, engaging and able to communicate clearly. The successful candidate will possess a full, clean driving license and have access to a car. Whilst KYTHE is a Christian organisation, the successful applicant does not need to practice Christianity themselves, but they should be open and accepting of the views of the organisation and comfortable working in their environment.
