The Hunger Project UK Fundraising and Campaigns Coordinator
Are you looking for a role that really makes a difference helping to empower women and men to end their own hunger and poverty?
About The Hunger Project UK
The Hunger Project UK is a small, mission-driven charity and UK fundraising partner of The Hunger Project — a global movement founded in 1977 with more than 40 years of evidence that ending hunger is possible. Working across 13 programme countries in rural Africa, South Asia and Latin America, The Hunger Project pioneers sustainable, grassroots, women-centred strategies, believing that people living in hunger are themselves the key to ending it.
We are a lean, consultant-based team with an ambitious three-year strategy. We work collaboratively, we work with purpose, and we care about the quality of everything that carries our name.
The role
We are looking for an experienced Fundraising and Campaigns Coordinator — with at least five years in a fundraising role within the charity sector — to join our small team in the second half of 2026. This is a hands-on delivery role: you will be the person who owns campaigns end to end, builds the newsletters, schedules the posts, writes the copy and gets things live.
You will work within a clear strategic direction set by the senior team, but you will own everything from there — developing the angle and narrative, writing the copy, submitting the application, building the promotional plan across all channels, and closing it out with donor reporting and thanks. We want someone who takes a steer and runs with it, and who brings genuine creative and fundraising intelligence to how the work gets done.
This is a part-time, flexible consultancy engagement. We work to a variable monthly arrangement — hours flex with the needs of the organisation, averaging 30–40 hours per month, with busier periods during campaigns.

Fundraising campaigns
Communications and content
Supporter experience
What we are looking for
You are an experienced fundraising and campaigns professional who is genuinely energised by getting things done. You understand how donors think, you write well, and you can hold a campaign from first conversation to final thank-you without being chased. You are tools-confident and comfortable with working independently.
