Help Grow our Individual Giving Programme to Support Young People

Every day at The King's Trust, we help young people build the confidence and skills they need to succeed. Behind every life‑changing opportunity is a supporter who believes in their potential. We're looking for an experienced and creative fundraiser to help grow and run the daily management of our Individual Giving programme, inspiring more people to support our work and become loyal, long‑term champions of young people across the UK.

The Individual Giving Manager is a maternity cover role for one year, starting September 2026. You’ll lead the development and delivery of engaging fundraising appeals across digital and offline channels, creating exceptional supporter experiences that encourage one‑off donors to become regular givers. Working closely with colleagues across Fundraising and Brand and Marketing, you’ll use data insight, creativity and organisational skills to build meaningful supporter journeys and maximise engagement. You’ll manage campaigns from concept through to evaluation, monitor performance against targets and budgets, and ensure all activity meets fundraising and compliance standards. You’ll also support the development of our Individual Giving and Legacies Executive and contribute to a collaborative, inclusive team culture.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience of delivering successful individual giving or direct marketing appeals.
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders.
• Confidence using data and insight to drive performance and improve supporter engagement.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a flair for inspiring action.
• Knowledge of fundraising compliance and supporter stewardship and journeys best practice.
• A passion for helping young people and communicating the impact of our work.

If you’re excited by the opportunity to combine creativity, data and purpose to grow supporter engagement and income, we’d love to hear from you. Join us and help more young people build brighter futures. Please submit a CV and Cover Letter that includes your experience, transferrable skills and motivation to work for The King's Trust! The Team will be in touch about the next steps shortly after the closing date.

Why do we need Individual Giving Managers?

Last year, we helped more than 40,000 Young People, with three in four young people on our programmes moving into a positive outcome in work, education or training. The young people we help face a range of challenges, such as unemployment, mental health issues or some who have been in trouble with the law. We believe young people should have the chance to succeed, and that young people are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people’s lives and we couldn’t do this without the important work of Individual Giving Managers!
