Family Holiday Association provides much-needed breaks for families coping with some of life’s toughest challenges. Many of the families referred to us are struggling with problems such as long-term illness, bereavement, mental health issues, disability and domestic violence.  

After a heart-breaking year of being unable to deliver any breaks, we’re getting ready to once again support families to experience the positive impact of a break.  And that means ramping up our income activities.

We’re looking for an experienced event and individual giving fundraiser to join our team in an interim capacity to cover maternity leave.

NO AGENCIES, please. 

Please apply with a CV and covering letter outlining your experience and suitability for the role.

We will be shortlisting for this role as applications come in, seeking a start ASAP where possible. Please don’t delay in making your application. There will be a 2 stage interview process, with a short first interview and a longer second interview with a task.
