Since 1892, Birmingham Dogs Home has been rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming dogs across the West Midlands. Each year, thousands of dogs receive the second chance they deserve because of the generosity of our supporters.

As we prepare to celebrate our 135th anniversary, we're investing in our income generation team and are now looking for an experienced Community Fundraiser to help shape the next stage of its development.

You will take the lead role in growing community fundraising across the West Midlands, building strong relationships with local groups, schools, clubs, small businesses and individuals. You will inspire people to fundraise in their own communities by developing new opportunities and will help to turn local support into sustainable income for Birmingham Dogs Home.

Working closely with the Events & Community Fundraising Manager, you will develop our community fundraising programme, enhance our volunteer led supporter base and play a key role in developing one of our charity's key income streams.

About You

We're looking for someone with previous community fundraising experience, or relevant experience in a similar relationship-building or business development role. You will be confident in developing new relationships, identifying opportunities and turning ideas into successful fundraising activity.

You will be organised, self-motivated and comfortable managing a varied workload across a wide geographical area. You will enjoy building lasting relationships with supporters and local organisations, providing the encouragement and practical support they need to raise funds successfully.

You will understand what makes a positive supporter experience and know how thoughtful stewardship can turn a one-off donation into long-term support. Above all, you will be a confident ambassador for Birmingham Dogs Home, with the ability to inspire others to support dogs in need across our region.

In return, we offer:

• Two weeks' free dog boarding
• 25% discount on veterinary treatment
• Free on-site parking
• Life assurance
• BHSF Health Plan
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Pension contribution
• Ongoing CPD and development opportunities

If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you. 

A Rocha UK is a unique Christian nature conservation charity, mobilising Christians and churches to care for the natural world. We are a member of the Worldwide A Rocha Family, a federation of Christian conservation charities, and we have sister organisations in 23 other countries. A Rocha UK has a staff of 25 and many volunteers. We run nature conservation activities on our own reserves, advise a national network of conservation partners, inspire Christians to protect nature and act on climate change through our Wild Christian scheme, and run the popular Eco Church scheme for local churches. Our office is close to overground and tube stations, with its own secure cycle and parking facilities.

In 2026 we launched a new three year strategy with exciting goals of deepening our support to those in each of our programmes and increasing our reach in order to see more people equipped to care for creation. We also have a heightened focus on cross-cutting issues of social justice, climate resilience, becoming more prophetic and ensuring we are both learning from and serving all of the UK. Among others, a key enabler to fulfilling this strategy is growing our income from just under £1m to £1.25m by the end of 2028, which this new role will play an important part in.

A Rocha UK is engaged with a large Christian constituency (Nearly 23,000 individuals on its e-mail lists, over 9000 churches registered for Eco Church across 25 denominations, over 60 Partners in Action, ranging from Christian conference centres through to community farms, and over 8000 individuals in Wild Christian - for individuals and households looking to live more sustainably).

This role is focused on growing Individual and Church giving from this constituency. There is work to do on developing engaging supporter journeys and fundraising appeals. There is also opportunity to develop fundraising propositions and take creative approaches to growing new donors. As well as the opportunity to be involved in developing our Wild Christian programme.
