Grants, Trusts and Foundations Manager

With our vision of uniting people through the joy of live music, we programme a diverse range of artists, showcase amazing community events, use our spaces for a range of commercial business events and host our inspirational Music Education Hub performances.

Bristol Beacon is seeking a talented and driven Grants, Trusts & Foundations Manager to lead on securing income from charitable trusts, foundations, and statutory sources. This is a key role within our Development Team, helping to fund and sustain our ambitious music and community programmes.

Working collaboratively across the organisation, you’ll research opportunities, craft compelling applications, and manage funder relationships to ensure outstanding stewardship. Your ability to align funding proposals with organisational needs and impact will be essential in supporting our mission to transform lives through music and creativity.

We’re looking for someone with proven fundraising experience, excellent communication skills, and a strategic mindset. You’ll be confident managing multiple priorities, building strong internal and external relationships, and making a real difference through your work. In return, we offer a supportive, values-led working culture, with the flexibility of hybrid working.

Join a forward-thinking cultural organisation at the heart of Bristol, where your skills and passion will help shape a more inclusive and creative future.

We reserve the right to close applications a week before the deadline if a suitable number of applications are received.

Diversifying our workforce

We are committed to developing a more diverse workforce through applicants with the skills and experience to help us to widen our perspective and better serve the needs of our communities.

We particularly encourage applications from disabled and ethnically diverse backgrounds as these groups are currently underrepresented within the arts and culture sectors.
