About the Role
We are looking for a fundraiser passionate about the environment and trees! Trees for Cities is the only charity working on a national scale to improve people's lives by planting trees in cities. In a world facing unprecedented threats from climate change, loss of biodiversity and disconnection from nature, our work has never been more urgent or important. With a portfolio of funders giving over £10,000 to £50,000 annually, you will secure and manage income to grow urban forests and combat the effects of climate change. Come get your hands dirty on planting days and join us! The Senior Fundraising Coordinator will be responsible for generating income from a portfolio of philanthropic sources including trusts, foundations, individuals, corporates, and statutory bodies to improve lives by planting trees in cities. Together with colleagues in the Fundraising Team, you will effectively manage funders and income to deliver our goal of healthy, accessible and resilient urban forests for today and future generations. With a high number of funding opportunities and a competitive sector for fundraising, you will be skilled at prioritising funders and opportunities. Your passion for the environment and urban communities will bring energy and enthusiasm to compelling funder communications. Your organisation skills will enable you to manage and deliver grant requirements such as finance tracking and reporting. We have achieved consistent, significant income growth – and more is needed to address the increasing need for urban trees. We now look forward to our next strategy in 2025 for even more ambitious plans – join us! Please note we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role; you must have a valid right to work in the UK to apply. The deadline to apply is 21 September 2025. Interviews are scheduled for 30 September and 2 October 2025. If you are shortlisted, you will normally be contacted within two weeks after applying.
