First interview: Thursday 27 February 2025
Second interview:Thursday 6 March 2025

Join a small, passionate team and play a pivotal role in our fundraising department as we head
towards our centenary year.

You will be a key member of the Philanthropy & Partnerships team who are responsible for
raising funds from and communicating with our biggest supporters – including trusts, major
donors and corporate partners.

You will be responsible for developing the major donor programme by identifying new prospective
donors and effectively stewarding our existing donors, deepening their connection to our
mission and encouraging them to give again.

You will support trust and corporate fundraising efforts by prospecting new potential
supporters and helping to draft grant applications, proposals, and impact reports that showcase
the work of the charity in a clear, engaging way.

You will also be responsible for administering CPRE’s Centenary Development Board, key
influential individuals who are helping us to achieve our centenary mission in time for our
100th birthday in 2026.

As well as donors, you’ll work closely with the Head of Philanthropy & Partnerships and the
Director of Fundraising and Supporters. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with some
experience in HNWI and donor management to take their career further, working for a small but
ambitious organisation operating in a unique space in the sector.

We are committed to developing an inclusive and diverse CPRE in which everyone feels supported,
valued, and always able to be themselves at work, because we recognise that a diverse and
inclusive workforce is important in achieving our vision of a thriving, beautiful countryside
for everyone. We therefore welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. People from
ethnic minority backgrounds and disabled people are currently underrepresented across the
environment, climate, sustainability, and conservation sectors. If you identify as a person of
ethnic minority background and/or disabled, we are particularly interested in receiving your
application.

CPRE is an equal opportunities employer
