Assistant to our Lead Fund Raiser

Could you support our grant fundraising work?

We’re looking for someone who enjoys researching opportunities, working with words, and taking satisfaction in helping secure funding for a good cause.

West Berkshire Therapy Centre supports adults with mobility challenges to regain strength, confidence and independence. Our rehabilitation gym is highly valued and widely used, and we rely on grants from charitable Trusts to help keep it financially sustainable.

Behind the scenes, we are looking for a reliable and organised volunteer to support our grant fundraising activity.

In this role, you will:

Research suitable grant-giving Trusts and funding opportunities

Help prepare and draft funding applications

Assist in maintaining a simple pipeline of prospects and outcomes

Support the overall process of submitting around 5–6 applications each month

You will work alongside our lead grant fundraiser and be supported with background information, examples of successful applications, and guidance where needed.

What skills do I need?

If you are organised, have a good standard of written English, and enjoy working carefully and methodically, this is a rewarding way to contribute.

This role may particularly suit someone with an interest in writing, research, administration or fundraising—perhaps looking to build experience or use existing skills in a flexible and purposeful volunteering role.
