Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem. In 2017-18 we helped 2.6 million

people face to face, over the phone, by email and web chat, and people visited our online advice pages 25 million times. We help with everything from money issues to problems at work, housing to consumer rights. Now we want to do even more.

We’re looking to recruit an excellent data administrator to join the Continuous Improvement function. It’s an opportunity to use your skills on a range of fascinating and important issues seen by our clients within the Help to Claim programme.

You’ll have experience of undertaking data analysis, collating and interpreting data, and report writing. 

Just as importantly, you’ll have a passion for using data to solve problems and in providing insight to a wide variety of stakeholders which informs the way we deliver our service. 

This is a great role if you want to have a direct impact in forming the way we deliver and help those who depend on us. 

Our roles are open to discussion about flexible working, which may include arrangements such as part-time working, formalised flexitime, fixed (non-standard) working hours, working from home and job-sharing.

Ranked by Indeed as a top 10 non-profit employer in the UK (December 2018)

We welcome applications from Local Citizens Advice staff and are open to arranging secondments.

Please note, subject to the volume of applicants, applications may close early at the discretion of Citizens Advice. 

Citizens Advice values diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We encourage and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented throughout Citizens Advice. We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. We also welcome applications from, LGB and Trans and non binary candidates. We have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role as set out in role profiles.

Are you looking for an opportunity to develop your fundraising skills and make a real impact towards our aim to reverse the rise in people forced to sleep on the street?

We have an exciting opportunity for a Philanthropy Officer to join our supportive team of experienced fundraisers. This is a fantastic time to join us at St Mungo’s.

As Philanthropy Officer, you will provide valuable administrative support to the Major and High Value Donor team to ensure that we provide an exceptional experience for our supporters. You will also manage a portfolio of relationships with our supporters, including planning events and visits to projects and writing letters, proposals and reports to connect in a meaningful and effective way with those engaged with our cause.

To ensure we are effectively engaging potential supporters of our work, you will collaborate with our teams delivering vital work in services to develop engaging ways of talking about their work and its impact, and deliver communications to new and existing audiences.

The team is going from strength to strength having over-achieved on fundraising targets last year and are now building on this success to enable the charity to transform and expand services to meet the growing need in the current housing crisis. As a department focussed on progression and career development, this role has arisen due to positive changes elsewhere in the team.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for someone with excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills at all levels, including both internal and external stakeholders.

If you are able to prepare and deliver compelling engagement and effectively manage processes and projects for a team, we will support you to develop the skills needed to personally secure income and manage relationships that will impact homelessness. We would welcome applications from people with transferrable skills wanting a first step in the charity sector or those wanting to step up their experience in fundraising.

What we offer

• Excellent Development and Growth Opportunities

St Mungo’s employees are encouraged to consider opportunities to develop new skills or progress including; secondments, internal transfers, application to new roles in the organisation or just to get involved in various projects happening within the organisation.
