Are you excited to roll up your sleeves and be part of the growth and evolution of a dynamic anti-poverty charity? Are you adept at building relationships and an outstanding communicator? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
As our Fundraising Officer, you will have the exciting opportunity to make a huge difference in improving the lives of people living in hygiene poverty. Working to secure vital funding for the charity’s work and particularly our volunteer-led projects across the UK, you will work closely with the Senior Volunteer Experience, Communications and Fundraising Manager and Head of Fundraising, Communications and External Engagement. You’ll create new income generation streams, manage trusts and foundations’ bid writing and help deliver all fundraising and stewardship initiatives.
The Hygiene Bank is at a pivotal point in its journey as it embarks on its three-year strategy for growth. The charity has grown rapidly since its creation in 2018 and has exciting plans in its mission to end hygiene poverty.

If you fit this profile and want to use your talents to improve the lives of people across the UK and are interested in remote working opportunities in a flexible organisation with a values-led ethos, we would love to hear from you!
About The Hygiene Bank
Hygiene poverty is not being able to afford many of the everyday hygiene and personal grooming products most of us take for granted. The reality of low income is that it restricts people’s options, leaving us caught between being able to heat our homes, pay the rent, eat, or be clean. It is washing hair, bodies, faces and clothes in the same cheap washing up liquid used for the dishes. It is not being able to replace a toothbrush when needed or sharing a toothbrush because one each just isn't an option. It is having to choose between shaving foam and razors or the transport fare to a job interview.
Hygiene Poverty is the hidden crisis facing the UK. In 2022, The Hygiene Bank published groundbreaking research into the incidence and impact of hygiene poverty. It found that over 3.1 million adults across the country are currently experiencing hygiene poverty and that it is both alarmingly widespread, increasing and disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable. It stops people from participating in society, feeds the mental health crisis and blocks routes out of poverty. It is simply unjust.
At The Hygiene Bank, we believe that everyone deserves to feel clean. That is why our network of projects exists – to give people access to the basics they need.
Job Description
The Fundraising Officer will be a key member of The Hygiene Bank’s income generation and wider team, with a responsibility to help fulfil the charity’s fundraising plans.

Waterwise
Waterwise is the leading independent voice in the UK for using water wisely, for the benefit of people and the planet. Our vision is that water is used wisely every day, everywhere, by everyone. We are the UK’s conscience on water efficiency, on behalf of people and the planet, and are experts in water efficiency policy, regulation, research, behaviour and campaigns. Waterwise is a people-led organisation which prioritises the wellbeing of its staff.
Water scarcity is an urgent issue right here, right now, right across the UK - consistent record-breaking high temperatures and low rainfall, and recurring drought, show how climate change and population growth are already putting our water resources under severe pressure, and this challenge is growing. Water efficiency has to be a big part of the solution, and we support and challenge governments, industry, customers and others to be innovative and ambitious on water efficiency. Our work includes campaigns, events, media, policy and regulatory influencing, research projects, stakeholder engagement and services such as Waterwise Training and the Waterwise Checkmark. We are funded by supporters across and beyond the UK water sector. Our Waterwise Strategic Direction to 2030, published in August 2022, tells you a bit more about us. Our UK Water Efficiency Strategy to 2030 tells you a bit more about our ambition.
At Waterwise we put staff wellbeing first, and our staff surveys show that our team knows, feels and appreciates this. Our values are
Purpose: We will deliver independent and ambitious leadership to drive social and political change on water efficiency
Pioneer: We will be forward-thinking and visionary in our approach, being brave and innovative in challenging the status quo
Passion: We will campaign to protect water and the planet and work to keep our own environmental impact as low as possible
People: We will prioritise staff wellbeing, be an inclusive, kind and positive team.
We are always looking for bright, committed people with a diverse set of skills and experience to help achieve our vision that water is used wisely every day, everywhere, by everyone. We are a lively, happy, friendly team, and we can’t wait to read your application!
At Waterwise, we’re committed to driving equity and preventing discrimination at work and in the work we do. Please see more on this below.
We are also working to reduce Waterwise’s own carbon and environmental footprint.
