Who we are

Established in 1980 by local churches and working in partnership with a range of other organisations, Romsey Mill is a charity with a Christian ethos, working openly and inclusively with people of any faith and none.

We encourage and facilitate community members to come together and develop initiatives which generate responses to common challenges, nurture more resilient local communities, and promote equality and social justice.

The role

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and experienced Fundraiser to our growing team to develop partnerships with individuals and local organisations and help fund our programmed work to transform young lives; in order to secure and grow the current income target of £1.2m.

The post-holder will: help to coordinate and carry out fundraising activities to raise unrestricted voluntary funds from individual donors, both one-off and regular giving; develop effective partnerships with business and community organisations, to grow engagement, participation and revenue;  grow income from individual and group participation in sponsored events and challenges; specific campaigns, team sponsorship challenges; and communicate with supporters and partner organisations through personal contact, print, press and digital media.

We create opportunities with children and families, so that they can begin to see change in their own lives and the world around them.   Our team of staff members and volunteers engages co-creatively with hundreds of local young people, children and families, every year.

About Jimmy’s Cambridge

Jimmy's is one of Cambridge’s leading providers of support and accommodation to people who are  experiencing homelessness. We help people get off the streets and into their own home, backed up with all the support we can offer from our talented and committed team of staff, volunteers and partners.

Our success in delivering our services is underpinned by the support we receive from individuals, organisations, our volunteers and our partners, all of whom are fundamental to our work. In addition to maintaining a sustainable set of existing services, we also have ambitious plans to increase our services and impact, ensuring we can support as many people as possible who are and have been experiencing homelessness.

Purpose of the Role

As an organisation we have decided to utilise Inform as our service management database (which is a Salesforce product), in line with other homeless organisations in Cambridge and the City Council; and Salesforce Non-Profit as our donor/funder database. While we are already working with a Salesforce consultant to ensure the new databases meet our needs, we want to build up internal capacity to enable the best use of the data for learning, research and ultimately better service provision.

The post-holder will support the Head of Services to embed Inform as our service management database across the teams and set it up to produce reports to helps us improve our services; and work with the  Communications/Fundraising Team to further develop and embed Salesforce Non-Profit as our donor/funder database

As this evolves, there will opportunities to work with the CEO and research partners (including at Cambridge University), to use the data and information we are collecting to evaluate the impact of our services, and collect evidence which has a wider influence about how homeless services can be delivered (e.g. by publishing ‘insight reports’).

About You

You will come with experience of data management or analysis, gained in a work, volunteer or educational setting. You will need excellent IT skills, with a real aptitude for Excel and the capability to quickly learn Salesforce, which is the basis of the two databases we are using. You will be interested in the work that Jimmy's does, and understand the importance of data collection to measure and then share the impact of our work, enabling us to tackle homelessness to the best of our ability. 

About Jimmy’s Cambridge

Jimmy’s Cambridge is one of Cambridge’s leading providers of support and accommodation to people who are and have been experiencing homelessness. We aim to help people get people off the streets and into their own home, backed up with all the support we can offer from our talented and committed team of staff, volunteers and partners.

The Role

This exciting new role is an exceptional opportunity to build, shape and deliver Jimmy's communications offer, in order to help meet our ambitious aims. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, you will use your passion, experience, and expertise to implement a new communications strategy. This will maximise engagement with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders – supporting us to develop greater community links – and supporting fundraising efforts to run transformative services and projects. 

As a community organisation, maximising engagement and communication with our local community is critical to our success. Whilst the role would suit a communications professional, fundraising experience in helping organisations to increase and diversify income streams, steward existing supporters and identify and securing new funding opportunities would be a bonus.

A key part of the role will also be to ensure the impact of our work is clearly communicated to a range of audiences, allowing key stakeholders fully appreciate the difference we make to our local community.

About You

You will have a proven track record of successfully communicating and advocating on behalf of an organisation – either commercial or charitable - and demonstrable experience of customer engagement, and in developing and delivering communications campaigns. Fundraising experience or knowledge of the charitable sector will be a bonus.

You will be a great communicator, with excellent interpersonal skills, able to build relationships and create inspiring campaigns. Jimmy’s has a wonderful breadth of stakeholders that all help keep us doing the work we do, and you will know how to ensure these are valued and are given the opportunity to understand and appreciate the impact their support is making.
