Contract:6 Month Fixed Term Contract
Location:London
Closing date:December 4th 2013
At ActionAid we are delivering a bold strategy to provide sustained improvements to the poorest and most excluded people in the world. It means we’re creating fantastic career opportunities for experienced sector professionals who want to be part of an organisation that is making a real difference. Join our action to end poverty now and be part of something truly amazing.

As a member of our Research and Project Information Team you will work with the wider Philanthropy and Partnerships Team to reach ambitious fundraising targets. This will involve preparing compelling proposals and key communications to inspire and educate high value donors - from major donors and trusts and foundations, to corporate donors.
You will support team best practice in developing proposals, provide advice on projects seeking funding as well as funding opportunities, and identify ways to improve systems and processes so that will maximise those opportunities. You will work closely with colleagues around the world to develop inspiring funding propositions and support the set-up of successful grants.


Highly experienced at writing successful high value fundraising proposals for major donors, charitable trusts and foundations and/or corporate supporters, you will have a good understanding of international development programmes, including relevant terminology. Your excellent writing and editing skills will be matched by expertise in developing proposals (including log frames) that deliver realistic outcomes.

On a fixed term contract, you will join the team for a six month period when we have a number of exciting funding opportunities on the go. If you have the skills and experience to help us, please apply today.
