ABOUT TRAIN
TRAIN is a youth work charity based in South Oxfordshire. We support young people aged 10 to 18 in Didcot, Wallingford and the surrounding areas, especially those who are under-served.
Young people in our communities are facing complex challenges. Mental health struggles, pressures at school, family instability and the impact of poverty can leave them feeling isolated or overlooked. Too often, they don’t have access to the right support at the right time. TRAIN exists to change that. We offer trusted relationships with adults outside positions of authority, safe spaces where young people can be themselves, and opportunities to grow in confidence, make positive choices and feel part of their community.
Our vision: every young person should have the opportunities, tools and support they need to create a positive future.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As Fundraising and Communications Coordinator, your main focus will be trusts and foundations: researching opportunities, writing persuasive applications and producing clear reports. You’ll also play a part in growing support from corporates, community fundraising, individual donors and major gifts, helping to build a broader base of income over time.
Alongside this, you’ll lead on communications. That means keeping our website and social channels current, producing supporter newsletters, and sharing our story more widely through PR and campaigns. You’ll help make sure the difference TRAIN makes for young people is seen and understood by funders, partners and the local community.
It’s a hands-on role, well-suited to someone who enjoys writing, building relationships and juggling different projects. You don’t need to be an experienced fundraiser — we’re open to people with transferable skills, whether from corporate, public or third sector backgrounds. What matters most is that you can communicate clearly, organise your workload, and are motivated by making a difference for young people.
You’ll report directly to the CEO and work closely with the rest of the team. This is a part-time role of approximately 30 hours per week, which can be worked flexibly. The role is based in Didcot with hybrid working, but for the right candidate we will consider a fully remote arrangement.
SALARY AND BENEFITS
-
Salary: £28,598 - £31,022 FTE (pro-rated, depending on experience)
-
Contract: Permanent, part-time, approx. 30 hours per week. We can be flexible on the exact number and when they are worked.
-
Annual leave: 25 days plus bank holidays (pro rata)
-
Pension: 3% employer contribution
-
Flexible working: Hybrid by default, fully remote considered. We’re happy to consider other flexible arrangements such as term-time only and job shares.
-
Professional development: Tailored learning and training opportunities
-
Wellbeing: Access to an employee assistance programme with mental health and wellbeing support
-
Culture: Supportive, collaborative team with regular catch-ups and shared learning

- Experience or understanding of individual giving, community, or corporate fundraising.
- A confident, relationship-led approach and strong communication skills.
- A genuine empathy for young people and the ability to connect with a wide range of people.
- Confidence using CRMs (ideally Beacon) and an understanding of their value in supporter management.
- A proactive, organised approach and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- A collaborative, can-do attitude and passion for creating opportunities for all young people so they feel safe, seen and supported.
This role requires a variety of skills and experience. We recognise it’s unlikely you’ll have experience in all these areas, but if you think this sounds like you, please apply!
We offer
- Flexible, hybrid working.
- Pension scheme (5% employee / 3% employer).
- 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays (pro rata) + an extra day’s leave on your birthday!
- Mobile phone, mentoring and access to 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.
- A friendly, values-led team where your ideas and initiative will make a real difference.
Join us at an exciting time of growth and help shape the future of fundraising at Youth Concern.
We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.
