Church Engagement & Fundraising Officer
12-month Fixed Term Contract. Full Time, Home-based
Location: London and the South East of England
Salary: £44,500 per annum
About us
Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don’t have to be Christian to work here – we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we’re open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues. This is a homeworking role and you are expected to be in the London office once a month
About the role
Reporting in to the Church Engagement & Fundraising Advisor, the Church Engagement & Fundraising Officer is a proactive fundraising and church engagement role.
You will be out in churches and communities across London and the home counties, building new relationships, strengthening existing high-value support, and inspiring churches to give, act and pray with Christian Aid.
You will identify and approach prospective churches, pick up the phone to book meetings, speak confidently in church services and local gatherings, and make compelling asks that lead to increased giving and deeper engagement.
This is a remote team to facilitate post holders to be proactively present in local church communities. Much of your impact will come from being out and about: visiting churches, meeting clergy and volunteers, attending local events, speaking at services, and building relationships face to face. You should expect regular travel across London and the home counties, including some evenings and weekends.
We are looking for someone who is energised by being out in the community, not someone looking for a primarily desk-based role.
In this role, success will mean:
- building a strong pipeline of churches and groups with the potential to support Christian Aid;
- securing meetings, speaking opportunities and invitations into church spaces;
- inspiring churches to increase their giving, particularly around appeals and key fundraising moments;
- strengthening relationships with current high-value church supporters so they feel known, thanked and encouraged;
- equipping volunteers and local champions to extend Christian Aid’s reach;
- using insight, data and local knowledge to prioritise the relationships with greatest potential.
A significant part of this role will be proactive new relationship-building. You will not only respond to churches already connected with Christian Aid; you will identify new opportunities, approach churches and leaders, and work creatively to open doors for giving, fundraising, campaigning and prayer.
About you
Who we are looking for:
Essential:
- Demonstrable experience driving fundraising and relationship building.
- Knowledge of church audiences across all denominations.
- Experience of mentoring volunteers to add capacity, skills and aptitude to empower and support them.
- Detailed knowledge of the principles of good donor management or customer care, and understanding of the principles of relationship building.
- Developed communication skills to inspire others to take action and use their skills and resources to fundraise and donate.
- Developed communication skills to communicate complex messages creatively and effectively to diverse audiences.
- An ability to analyse and interpret information and data to prioritise work and achieve results.
- Organisational skills to work under pressure and manage competing priorities to deliver multiple concurrent activities.
- The ability to travel frequently to locations, including some evenings and weekends.
Desirable:
- Knowledge of current fundraising legislation and good practice.
- Knowledge of relevant church networks and denominational structures.
- Ability to effectively portray development messages in a theological context.
- Knowledge of global development issues and Christian Aid’s work.
- Good knowledge of the London and South East geographical region.
This role would suit you if you are a confident relationship-builder who enjoys getting out into communities, opening doors and inspiring people to act. You might come from community fundraising, church engagement, major donor engagement, sales, business development, volunteer mobilisation or a church-facing role with clear fundraising experience.
You will need to be confident talking with churches, meeting ambitious targets, comfortable making asks for financial support, and motivated by helping local communities turn faith, generosity and concern for global justice into practical action.
