Current Vacancies

If you are keen to join to a small, passionate team where your skill and expertise will positively impact clergy families, and will be nurtured through our renewed commitment to staff development, then we’d love to hear from you.

As the largest and oldest charity supporting Anglican ministers and their families, we exist to serve those people who, through their ministry, spend their lives serving others.

Clergy Support Trust is an inclusive and supportive organisation. We warmly welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, and believe a diverse workforce leads to fresh ideas and creative thinking, as well as reflecting our diverse beneficiary base across the UK and Europe.

Fundraising Manager

This is a pivotal appointment for us.

You will be our first colleague dedicated exclusively to fundraising. It is an exciting opportunity to build the function from the ground up – setting the strategy, making the contacts, and delivering the income.

We have built and developed a supporter database of 5k contacts and have improved our donation systems. We need your skills and expertise to take this further, including by expanding our supporter base, particularly major donors. Where your focus will be on securing individual donations of five-figures or higher, while also growing the potential among these supporters for subsequent legacy gifts.

You will be directly responsible for increasing our voluntary income from £80k (excluding legacies) to £250k over a period of five years, (and we have substantial ambition to move upwards from there), whilst also growing our legacy giving and encouraging corporate partnerships. We continue to develop our CRM and to systemise our relationship management, to support a scalable major gifts programme.

We are excited to have you join us.
