The role 

Citizens Advice Bucks is a county wide charity which has secured a range of trusts and foundation funding and has started laying the foundations for individual giving.

You’ll be an experienced Fundraiser with good knowledge of direct marketing, experience of seizing opportunities to develop products which would include ‘in celebration’, ‘in memoriam’ and legacy giving, and nurturing audiences and relationships using a range of channels including digital, print and telemarketing. You will have experience of supporting and engaging volunteers to conduct individual giving campaigns and inspire a new generation of donors to give to Citizens Advice Bucks.  You must be hands on, love going out and meeting people, and getting to know our local communities and businesses, in person arranging and attending events. You will be at the heart of the new strategy for individual giving.

This role would best suit someone who loves to get out and about and, make the ask for funds, and is not shy about organising socials and events that help us develop community knowledge of our charity, whilst raising funds for a great cause and getting out in front of future donors, as well as managing a programme of information stalls at key community events throughout the year.

Closing date: Assessment and interview dates will be arranged as applications are received, and we reserve the right to close the role early if the right candidate is found.
