About One Degree Mentoring

Alongside the usual responsibilities of charity trusteeship, this role has a particular focus on helping One Degree build a sustainable and diverse funding base.
The successful candidate will contribute to the charity’s strategy and governance while actively supporting fundraising through their expertise, networks, and introductions.
