Treloar's is a charity which provides a highly specialist school, college and nursery for disabled children and young adults with complex needs.

We need a new Director of Fundraising and Marketing who can help take us forward in the impact we have on the lives of young people, and also help us change how society views disabled people.

We are an organisation full of ambition, creativity, fun, joy, interest, initiative and inspiration.

Our current Director of Fundraising has retired after a highly successful 20 years. This has created the opportunity for a new post leading both the Fundraising and Marketing teams. In terms of the experience and skills we are seeking, the emphasis is on fundraising, with the ability to support our expert marketing team. However both functions are of equal vital importance to the charity and require quality leadership.

As a GBP25m charity, we are looking to build the next stage of our evolution, with a brand identity and level of voluntary and commercial trading income that matches our significance in the disability, education and care sector.
