Why Join Us
At The Care Workers’ Charity, everything we do is focused on supporting care workers across the UK. From providing crisis grants and mental health support to campaigning for a fairer future for the workforce, our work makes a real and lasting difference to people who give so much to others every day.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, close-knit team at a pivotal moment in our growth. You will play a central role in shaping how we tell our story, build our supporter base and deliver events and fundraising campaigns that genuinely move the dial. Your ideas will be heard, your work will matter, and you will see the impact of what you do.
You will be joining a small, friendly and supportive team where your contribution is genuinely valued and where you will have real ownership of your work.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced, driven and creative Marketing and Events Manager who brings a genuine passion for fundraising and events — and the skills to match. This is not primarily a desk-based marketing role: you will be the engine behind our events programme and a key driver of our fundraising income.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will lead the planning and delivery of CWC’s events calendar, manage our fundraising activities, and oversee the work of the Marketing and Events Officer. You will be equally comfortable developing the strategy and getting stuck into the detail of execution.
Events will be at the heart of what you do. You will take ownership of our flagship event, coordinate a varied programme of fundraising events, sector conferences and networking activities, and ensure every event is professionally delivered and leaves supporters feeling connected to our mission. You will manage relationships with venues, suppliers and sponsors, and keep a close eye on budgets and income targets.
Fundraising will be a core focus. You will be responsible for achieving financial targets from individual and corporate fundraising, developing creative campaigns across platforms such as Enthuse and JustGiving, and building the kind of relationships with supporters and partners that turn one-off donations into long-term engagement.
Alongside this, you will lead and support the Marketing and Events Officer, ensuring our marketing output — social media, newsletters, website content and campaigns — is consistent, engaging and aligned with our strategic goals.
About You
You will have a proven track record in events management and fundraising, ideally within the charity sector. You know what it takes to plan and deliver events from first concept through to post-event evaluation, and you understand how events can drive income as well as awareness.
You will be a confident, organised and proactive person who can manage competing priorities without losing sight of quality or deadlines. You will be comfortable working independently, managing your own workload and supporting others to manage theirs.
Our ideal candidate will have:
- A proven track record in events management, with demonstrable experience of delivering fundraising income from events
- At least two years’ experience in a charity fundraising or events role
- Experience of line managing or supervising others
- Excellent relationship-building skills with sponsors, corporate partners and individual supporters
- Confidence using fundraising platforms (e.g. Enthuse, JustGiving) and CRM/database systems (Hubspot experience an advantage)
- Strong working knowledge of social media platforms, email marketing tools and website content management
- Experience managing budgets, monitoring income and expenditure, and reporting on financial performance
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- High attention to detail and strong project management skills
- Genuine enthusiasm for the charity’s mission and the people we support
Knowledge of the health and social care sector would be a distinct advantage, though not essential.
We Offer
- A salary between £32,000 and £34,000 per annum
- 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
- A flexible, remote-working environment — you must be based in England
- A friendly, supportive team culture where your contribution is genuinely valued
- The opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of care workers across the UK
If you are ready to bring your events and fundraising expertise to a cause that really matters, we would love to hear from you.
We envision a world where care workers are recognised as skilled professionals who are valued, supported, respected and resourced to be in a strong po
