Who we are

Grassroots Suicide Prevention (GSP) is a national charity committed to the timely intervention and prevention of suicide. We work to empower people to help save lives through connecting, educating, and campaigning nationally. Our vision is a future where more lives are saved from suicide.

About the role

We are looking for a very confident, outgoing go-getter who loves using their gregarious personality to influence and enthuse people to get results but also enjoys being organised with strong admin processes.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has been involved in influencing organisations, businesses and groups or individuals to sign up to our range of challenge events (e.g. marathons etc.) You will be a part of a small but dynamic marketing and fundraising team and involved in many aspects of our work but focusing on filling and retaining places for our challenge events.

This is a varied role, and you will be someone who loves to multitask; you may be emailing supporters or potential fundraisers, making action plans, contacting organisations, or attending and speaking at events.

You will thrive in this role if you love being organised and doing admin, but love being “out and about” interacting and influencing and motivating people to join events. Please note that you will need to carry and set-up event materials, have access to transport and have a full, clean driving licence. We are a very small team, so you will need to have the confidence and willingness to meet with organisations and attend events on your own.

Please reflect that grit and resilience are required for this role given the remote/hybrid working, subject matter, fast-paced and flexible multi-tasking, and the need to be highly goal-oriented and results focused. If you have recently been affected by suicide, please consider carefully if this role would be right for you, as your welfare is the utmost priority, and our work may be triggering.

• Represent Grassroots Suicide Prevention at events, delivering talks and building awareness to attract new supporters and donors

• Write compelling content for multiple channels, including our website, blog, social media, and press releases, tailored to diverse audiences

• Assist with administrative tasks to ensure the smooth running of our fundraising team and activities

To be successful in this role, you must be:

Responsive, extremely organised, able to meet deadlines, and passionate about seeing growth and progress in your work and reaching targets and KPIs.

You will be a dynamic, socially confident person, who excels at winning hearts and minds and thrives on tangible results. You will be a creative thinker and thrive on influencing and persuading people.

For this role, you’ll need:

• Adept at all aspects of Microsoft Office

• Experience of influencing people and organisations to come on board and fundraise

• Experience of recruiting and managing volunteers

• To have initiative and creative ideas that you can put into effective action plans

• To be socially adept and enjoy persuading and influencing

• To be an excellent verbal and written communicator

• To be a confident negotiator and presenter

• Evidence of being resilient

• A genuine passion for Grassroots Suicide Prevention’s mission and values

• To have a positive “can-do” attitude and a thirst to adapt to different tasks and challenges

• Examples of working effectively from home and being out and about

Bonus points for:

• Proven track record of fundraising and running challenge events

• Basic skills of creating impactful and on-brand designs using Canva

• Understanding of how charities work and the challenges they face

• Evidence of successful presenting and networking
