We have 85% BME staff and 100% from low-income backgrounds (or parents with less than £24k per annum household earnings).

Founder Natalie Wade acknowledges that some of the shoots will have absolutely no previous awareness of what a ‘professional’ job means, so her approach to training begins with social skills - how to introduce yourself, how to hold yourself in meetings, building confidence, how to write minutes.  On the artist side, throughout the past 10 years Natalie and SGS have been vital in helping kickstart the careers of artists such as Jorja Smith, Mahalia and Emelie Sande - providing funding for recording sessions, video shoots and much more.

About the role

The Fundraising Support and Programme Assistant will support Carers UK’s growing Fundraising team to achieve our voluntary income target through administration, prospect research and coordination of the legacy and payroll giving income streams. This is a diverse role providing opportunities for the post holder to develop skills across several fundraising disciplines.

About us

Carers UK is the leading national charity, supporting, advocating for and connecting unpaid carers across the UK.

Established in 1965, Carers UK has a long heritage of making life better for carers, wherever they may be, through providing advice, information and support and campaigning for improved rights, recognition and support. With over 37,000 members Carers UK is the voice of unpaid carers in the UK.

With over 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK and 6,000 individuals becoming a carer every day the need to support them is growing and urgent. Unpaid carers save the UK state an estimated £530 million each day, and are vital to the friends and family members they support, as well as to the wider community.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected carers across the country. Our recent polling suggests that the figure for unpaid carers could now be as high as 13.6 million, with an estimated 4.5 million people literally starting to care overnight due to the impact of coronavirus on services and individuals.

This is an exciting time to join Carers UK as we enter our new strategic period, Vision 2025 taking us to our 60th anniversary.  Rather than producing a detailed five year plan we have developed an ambitious direction of travel, recognising the challenges of planning in the ongoing and uncertain environment created by COVID-19. We believe our flexible approach throughout 2020 enabled us to react quickly to the needs of carers, and by adopting a direction of travel, backed up with annual business plans, we will continue to meet the growing needs of carers.

Carers UK relies on voluntary income, our future plans will depend on unrestricted income to meet the growing need.
