Fundraising Officer – 4‑day week, hybrid, high‑impact charity based in Oxford
If you want a fundraising role where you can see the direct impact of every partnership, pitch and campaign this could be the right move.
About the role:
We’re looking for a Fundraising Officer to join Aspire’s small, agile and supportive Fundraising & Communications team. You’ll be an all‑round fundraiser, working across corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations, and community, events and individual giving. You’ll help grow and diversify our voluntary income so that more people across Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley can move out of homelessness, poverty and long‑term unemployment into secure work and housing.
This is a hands‑on role with real variety: one week you might be crafting a pitch for a new corporate partner, the next you could be pulling together a trust report, planning a community fundraising event or writing supporter communications. You’ll have room to shape the role around your strengths while learning from experienced colleagues.
About Aspire:
Aspire is a multi‑award‑winning employment charity and social enterprise. We support people who have faced serious barriers – including homelessness, offending histories, substance misuse, mental ill health and long‑term unemployment – to build confidence, skills and ultimately secure housing and work. In the last year alone, we supported over 1,800 people experiencing disadvantage to move closer to employment and housing and achieve lasting change.
We are guided by our values: Ambitious, Supportive, Participatory, Inspiring, Reliable and Enterprising. You will see these lived out day to day – in how we work with participants, partners and each other.
What you’ll be doing:
- Helping to grow and steward corporate partnerships across Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley, from prospect research and pitches to volunteering and sponsorship.
- Supporting a strong pipeline of trust and foundation applications and reports, telling Aspire’s story with clarity and evidence.
- Leading on community fundraising and events, building relationships with local groups, schools, faith communities, businesses and individual fundraisers.
- Maintaining and developing individual giving through engaging, well‑timed communications.
- Using our CRM (Salesforce) to keep supporter data, pipelines and reporting accurate and up to date.
- Playing a full part in a collaborative team where ideas are welcomed and everyone pitches in at busy times.
About you:
You don’t need to tick every box, but you will bring:
- Experience in at least one of: corporate fundraising, trusts and foundations, community/events or individual giving, plus enthusiasm to grow across all three.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt your tone for different audiences.
- Confidence building and managing relationships with supporters, customers or partners.
- Good organisational skills and comfort working to deadlines and targets.
- A genuine commitment to tackling homelessness, poverty and disadvantage, and alignment with Aspire’s values.
Experience with Salesforce or AI tools would be helpful, but we’re more interested in your mindset: curious, proactive, organised and keen to learn.
What we offer:
- A 4‑day working week (0.8 FTE).
- Salary: £29,234 - £35,305 per annum (FTE), depending on experience (0.8 = £23,387 - £28,244) .
- Hybrid / remote‑first working, with at least two in‑person team days per month in Oxford and occasional events and meetings.
- The chance to shape and grow a varied fundraising role in a small, supportive team.
- A values‑driven culture and the opportunity to see the tangible impact of your work.
