Our services work in three ways:
 

Preventing homelessness

Launchpad works to prevent homelessness with a drop-in centre for anyone who needs crucial housing or homelessness-related information and guidance, and our floating support team helps people in the community address more serious housing-related challenges before they get worse.

Providing homes

We aim to break the cycle of homelessness by providing temporary homes with bespoke support for up to 100 people in Reading for periods of six to twelve months.

Rebuilding lives

Launchpad rebuilds lives to give clients the very best chance of success with a range of therapeutic activities, and support with education, training and employment.
 

THIS ROLE

ABOUT YOU

Our ideal candidate is an experienced Fundraising Manager with a passion for helping the vulnerable, looking to work with a small team where you can make a real difference.

With excellent relationship building skills and significant experience of leading events and activities which drive individual donations, and corporate and community fundraising, you are looking for a new challenge and the chance to build a portfolio of innovative fundraising events and projects.

An adept project manager, you put the supporter at the heart of everything you do with experience of cultivating, developing and stewarding supporters to deliver a first-class experience.

You are ambitious in your approach, proactively managing stakeholders through excellent communication and planning skills.  You know your way around a fundraising CRM system, are competent with Microsoft packages and have experience of working with volunteers and managing a small team.

This is a superb opportunity for someone with drive, focus and a desire to work with our fantastic charity to help us to prevent homelessness in Reading.  You’ll discover a passionate, supportive environment where the entire team are working toward the same goals and are dedicated to making positive change, and a lasting impact on people’s lives.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
