Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) is a small charity doing big things for people,
landscape and wildlife in the Yorkshire Dales.

Over the last 25 years we have delivered diverse and inspirational projects. Our vital work has
helped to plant 1.5 million trees and secure the future of over 750 hectares of wildflower hay
meadows, creating habitats for our wildlife and combatting climate change. We’re passionate
about inspiring disadvantaged groups and future generations to care for this special part of
the world.

About the role

Our ambitious fundraising strategy has enabled us to grow and maintain our annual voluntary
income above £1m. We aim to continue to secure new partnerships to increase our ability to help
tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and connect more people with nature. We are committed
to providing the highest level of stewardship to our donors and partners, inspiring them to
continue to make regular donations and large multi-year commitments.

Our new Development Officer will play a key role in implementing a new 3 year Trusts and
Foundations and Philanthropy strategy, aiming to raise £400,000 per annum towards our total
fundraising target.

As a small but forward-thinking charity we provide a friendly and supportive culture, with
fantastic development and training opportunities, and the opportunity to contribute your ideas
at all levels.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about our work and able to build strong
relationships with our supporters, including corporate partners, philanthropists and trusts and
foundations. You should be able to demonstrate experience of successful business development
and/or fundraising. 

Underpinning all of this is your ability to work within our culture – which means sharing our
values of being creative, caring, honest and enabling.
