Job Description

Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.

Location: Based in our London office, E1, with the requirement to travel as needed. We are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy.

Contract: Permanent

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in helping Crisis secure the income needed to end homelessness. Working across a portfolio of new and existing grant funders, the postholder will build strong, strategic relationships that lead to five and six figure gifts and long-term support. It is a role that calls for someone bold in pursuing new opportunities, confident in communicating the complexity of homelessness, and motivated by the chance to turn insight and evidence into funding that makes a real difference. Alongside managing relationships, the postholder will develop compelling proposals and reports of a high standard, ensuring every approach is aligned with Crisis’s long-term goals and grounded in the impact our work can achieve.

The role is also deeply collaborative and equitable in scope. Success will depend on working closely with colleagues across Crisis, including service heads and frontline teams, to identify funding opportunities, gather robust information and shape cases for support that reflect the realities of homelessness and the voices of people with lived experience. The postholder will help create a rewarding and respectful experience for supporters and bring a thoughtful, inclusive approach to relationship management and decision-making. In this way, the role combines income generation with partnership-building, high standards with accountability, and day-to-day fundraising with Crisis’s wider commitment to fairness, co-production and lasting systemic change.

About you

An experienced and collaborative fundraiser with a track record of securing gifts at the five- or six-figure level – ideally from charitable trusts, foundations, or statutory funders.
You thrive on researching and engaging prospects and building tailored, strategic relationships that grow into long-term partnerships.
You’re a persuasive communicator, able to craft compelling proposals that resonate with funders and trustees.
You’re able to use data and insight to guide your approach, measure progress, and refine your strategy.
Above all, you’re motivated by Crisis’ mission and values — committed to equality, inclusion, and the belief that together, we can end homelessness for good.

We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
