As a Charity Fundraiser what you will be doing is inspirational. You will be interacting with members of the Public and Employers to inspire them to donate, with a focus on driving donations and all forms of supporter engagement.

You will be responsible for the implementation, co-ordination, and promotion of events, campaigns, and appeals and you will complement both new and existing fundraising campaigns in order to maximise fundraising income generation.

If you feel you have the experience needed to succeed in this role and have a passion for helping people with life limiting illnesses, then this may be the perfect role for you.

We have an exciting opportunity at World Child Cancer and are recruiting an Individual Giving, Community and Challenge Event Fundraiser.

We are a passionate and results driven team with a genuine desire to innovate, collaborate and fundraise to support children with cancer and their families across the world. We have an ambitious target to reach 16,000 children per year by 2025 and increasing income from individuals is a key way for us to achieve this.  

The successful applicant will raise and manage income from individuals (giving under £5k), our running and challenge supporters and community fundraisers. You will also support on the delivery of our annual flagship fundraising event. In addition, to ensure we are contacting the right donors at the right time, you will support on data-base management. This is a full and exciting role with room to grow and you will need to be versatile and innovative in your approach.

At World Child Cancer, we deliver amazing programmatic work and have a strong case for support with inspiring stories to tell, like that of Sahara.  

We currently raise just over £2m each year and have ambitions to grow to £5m by 2025. Raising unrestricted income from individual supporters is key to enabling the organisation to stabilise through this challenging time and grow into the future.

If you are excited by this opportunity and have the ambition and drive to help us achieve our goals, we would love to hear from you.

Fundraiser - Direct Marketing and Legacies, 12 Month Contract
PRS for Music
Based in London, Home Working due to Government guidelines
£35,000

Charity People are delighted to be partnering with PRS for Music to recruit a Fundraiser, specialising in Direct Marketing, to join their Fundraising Team.

PRS for Music are a Charity and a Membership organisation, based in Central London. As a Membership organisation, they represent their songwriter, composer and music publisher members' performing rights, and collect royalties on their behalf whenever their music is played or performed publicly. They support them by influencing policy, supporting and hosting awards and events, and investing in new technology to ensure they continue to be fit for the digital music age.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Fundraiser to come in for a 12 Month contract to devise a new fundraising strategy that will drive voluntary income growth. We are looking for someone to deliver a range of appeals as part of a broad fundraising programme across traditional media and digital platforms through engaging appeal material and creative messaging.

Your role will involve using a range of marketing techniques and communications to grow and develop their supporter base and to recruit and retain donors. This is achieved through managing Direct Marketing campaigns along with developing the Charity's fundraising appeals and other sources of income that raise funds for their charitable activities. You will also coordinate activities that are allied to fundraising including website, media, and marketing of the Charity to ensure effective promotion of the "PRS" brand and key communications and work to plan, deliver and support fundraising events.

While principally a Direct Marketing role, we are looking for someone with knowledge and/or experience in individual giving, gifts in Wills, trust and foundation prospecting, innovative fundraising campaigns and appeals and stakeholder engagement. You should be highly motivated with a proven track record of meeting and exceeding personal and team targets, have an ability to build positive relationships through a persuasive and diplomatic approach while being at ease with senior stakeholders in a business environment and be an exceptional communicator with proven technical ability across all channels including digital marketing.

Charity People are handling all applications for this role. Interested applicants should send their CV in the first instance to Ben Garner at Charity People.

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.

There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1 million by 2025, and 1.4 million by 2040. In response to this, Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse service. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them, giving the one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions that people need.

The charity has seen significant income growth over the past five years, and we have ambitious plans to maintain this growth so we can significantly increase the number of Admiral Nurses, and the specialist support they provide.

You would be joining a passionate team at an exciting time, as events and community fundraising will play an important part of this growth, making up over a third of the charity’s income next financial year. Although events and community activity was hit hard by the pandemic, we adapted quickly to seize opportunities and test new propositions, and in the last year have achieved far more than we thought possible.

We are now looking for a results-driven fundraiser with strong attention to detail and a creative flair to deliver our flagship fundraising event – Time for a Cuppa, as well as support on insight-led product development cycles. You’ll be a strong collaborator who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Please see the job description for more details.

Please note, only applications including both a CV and completed application questions will be considered. We do not require a covering letter for this role.

Interviews are scheduled for Monday 22nd of March.
