Community Fundraising & Engagement Manager

Salary: £40,000 per annum
Location: North London or Bristol (hybrid – 2 days per week in the office)
Contract: Full-time, permanent

Are you a people-centred Community Fundraiser who thrives on building meaningful relationships in local communities?

We’re working with a well-established UK charity seeking a Community Fundraising Manager to grow income and deepen connections across two key regions. This is a hands-on, outward-facing role for someone who enjoys inspiring supporters, working collaboratively, and turning community enthusiasm into long-term impact.

This role brings together community fundraising, supporter engagement and regional relationship management. As a Community Fundraising Manager you'll work closely with individuals, volunteer fundraisers, community groups and local businesses, helping them feel confident, valued and motivated to support the charity’s work.

While the Community Fundraising Manager will be aligned to either North London or Bristol as a primary base, the focus is very much on community presence, partnership building and stewardship, rather than being office-bound.

• Identifying new opportunities within local communities, networks and organisations
• Delivering and supporting a programme of community-led fundraising activity and events

• Working collaboratively with colleagues to share insight, ideas and best practice

About you

This role would suit someone who is confident, empathetic and highly organised, with a genuine belief in the power of community.

You’ll likely bring:

• Experience in community, regional or relationship-based fundraising
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences
• A proactive and creative approach to generating and developing fundraising opportunities
• Confidence managing multiple relationships and priorities at once
• Experience using a CRM or fundraising database
• A flexible approach, with occasional out-of-hours or event work

What’s on offer

• Salary of £40,000 per annum
• Hybrid working with two days per week in the office
• Choice of North London or Bristol as your main base
• A supportive, values-led working culture
• The opportunity to play a visible role in strengthening community engagement and supporter relationships
