Can you confidently write funding proposals and reports and work with commissioners?

The Business Development and Funding Officer will work with our Head of Quality, Training and Networks and our Director of Operations to develop our relationships with funders, commissioners, and organisations who access our training and consultancy offer.

They will play a vital role in our team to ensure we have a programme of work and funding relationships in place to enable us to deliver our mission and support the long-term sustainability of One Small Thing.
