Income Generation and Development Lead 0.6FTE

Income Generation & Development Lead (0.6 FTE)

Help shape the future of mental health support in Surrey

This is not a traditional fundraising role.

It is an opportunity to build something.

Mary Frances Trust is entering an exciting new phase focused on strengthening long-term sustainability, developing strategic partnerships and creating new opportunities to support mental health and wellbeing across Surrey.

We are looking for an experienced and ambitious income generation professional who can help lead that journey.

Why this role matters

Demand for mental health support continues to grow while funding environments become more pressured and competitive.

We believe there is significant opportunity to grow and diversify our income, strengthen unrestricted funding, and build innovative partnerships that increase our impact and long-term resilience.

This role is central to making that happen.

What makes this role different

This is a rare opportunity to:

• Build an income generation function from the ground up
• Shape organisational strategy and sustainability
• Develop high-value partnerships and collaborative opportunities
• Work across innovation, community mental health and system partnerships
• Help position MFT as a key partner in improving mental health support across Surrey

The role will also contribute to selected partnership initiatives and joint funding opportunities with Catalyst Support as part of strengthening collaboration across the county.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a strong track record of securing income across multiple streams
• Has built and converted funding pipelines into secured income
• Understands the UK charity and/or commissioning landscape
• Can work strategically while remaining hands-on and delivery-focused
• Is comfortable operating autonomously in a growing and evolving environment
• Brings energy, credibility and relationship-building strength

This role is not suited to someone looking to learn income generation in post. We need someone who can bring experience, momentum and delivery from the outset.

What you’ll do

• Develop and lead our income generation strategy
• Build and manage a strong pipeline of funding opportunities
• Secure income from trusts, statutory and partnership sources
• Strengthen our case for support and external positioning
• Develop strategic partnerships and collaborative opportunities
• Establish systems, structure and focus across income generation activity

£55,000–£60,000 FTE (pro rata)
