Job description

Are you an experienced fundraiser and communicator, skilled in creating compelling narratives and telling moving stories of  impact and change? We have a fabulous opportunity for you to use your creative and organisational skills to make a significant difference to young lives in Doncaster. 

We are currently finalising our next Forward Plan, with an ambition to create an inclusive, vibrant community, committed to everyone having a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.  We currently work with children and young people aged 5 to 30. 

Our priority programmes include support coaching for young people, community activity sessions, sustaining our accommodation provision for vulnerable young adults and establishing how we can best support more young people on the homelessness pathway.  We have some great spaces that are in need of development, and we expect that both capital and revenue funding will be included in your workload. We also look for smaller grants during the course of the year, including for food for our residents and supplies for our art groups, and we hope to recruit volunteers to assist with some elements of this work.

The core of your role will be in generating funds to support our work in general along with some of our specific projects and ambitions. You will be happy to take responsibility across the full cycle of fundraising and communications as needed.
