Fundraising & Bid Officer

Saltmine Trust is looking for a motivated, dedicated, and hardworking bid writer/fundraiser to help grow the funds necessary to support the charity’s
work. This is a newly created role within our organisation, and we hope the right candidate will share our passion and commitment to ensuring the charity’s
sustainability.

The successful applicant will be responsible for preparing, submitting, and securing bids on behalf of Saltmine Trust, ensuring all compliance requirements

The main responsibility of this role is to identify local and national funding opportunities and collaborate with the charity to develop strategies for utilising
those funds effectively. The role includes ensuring all funding guidelines are followed to maximize the chances of successfully securing future bids.

The ideal candidate will have experience in fundraising and bid writing, and this role presents a great opportunity to shape a new position, build valuable
networks, and create new funding streams to support our mission.
