Whatever your reason for wanting to take the next step along your fundraising career path, the good news is there are a lot more opportunities available in fundraising than in most other specialisms.\r\n\r\nTo say the job market is a bit tricky for candidates at the moment would be an understatement! But, between July and September this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/recruiterinsights\/recruiter-insights-for-october\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demand for fundraising roles was 46% lower than the overall demand for jobs on our site.<\/a> This means that fundraising is the least competitive job area in the sector at the moment, so now could be a great time to act.

You don\u2019t have to have every future role mapped out, but at least knowing the main things you hope to gain can help to point you in the direction of the right next move. Do you want to try out another type of fundraising? Plug a gap in your skillset? Or maybe you want to move into a leadership position?\r\n\r\nEven if you\u2019re looking to move back into fundraising after a break, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, and any gaps you may need to fill, can help to give you direction. The Chartered Institute of Fundraising have some great resources to help you audit your experience and plan where and how you want to develop. Have a look at their <a href=\"https:\/\/ciof.org.uk\/career-development\/competence-framework\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Competence Framework<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12760\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/planning-out-an-inspiring-day.jpg\" alt=\"Man looking thoughtful holding a pen in one hand and a tablet in the other\" width=\"975\" height=\"515\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"If you want to move into a different type of fundraising\u2026","content":"<h2><strong>If you want to move into a different type of fundraising\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nMaybe you\u2019re currently in direct marketing but fancy getting into events? Or perhaps you\u2019re aiming for major gifts fundraising, but to get there you need experience of individual giving first.\r\n\r\nMaking a tactical move, as in taking a job specifically to gain new skills rather than it being your end goal, is a clever strategy for ambitious fundraisers who are keen to climb the career ladder. Recruiters tell us that fundraising positions are some of the hardest to fill, meaning that, even in a challenging market, it\u2019s possible to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/jobs?keywords=fundraising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make a strategic or sideways move into a new area of fundraising.<\/a>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"If you want to grow your skills\u2026","content":"<h2><strong>If you want to grow your skills\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nIf you want to grow your skills but don\u2019t have access to enough learning and development opportunities in your current role, then consider looking for a new one. As salaries are difficult to compete on at the moment, many charities are improving their training and development offer to entice the best candidates, meaning this might be something you can negotiate on.\r\n\r\nSo if you\u2019re not getting what you need from your current role, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/jobs?keywords=fundraising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moving charities<\/a> might just give you access to training to develop your skills for the long-term.\r\n\r\nAlso, the pandemic was a catalyst for an explosion in useful online learning opportunities, such as webinars. These can be useful to further your sector knowledge\u2014try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/for-charities\/resources\/charity-webinars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JustGiving<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/charitydigital.org.uk\/webinars\/webinars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charity Digital<\/a> to start.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"If you want to move to the next rung in the ladder\u2026","content":"<h2><strong>If you want to move to the next rung in the ladder\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nFeel ready to move up?

But the good news is that job-hopping to get up the ladder doesn\u2019t have the stigma it used to have, and there are some great opportunities out there. So if you think you\u2019ve got what it takes for the next role up, then we say go for it!\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re keen, but a promotion still feels like a bit of a stretch at the moment, then why not look for a mentor to help guide you through to where you need to be?
