Our work is needed now more than ever before. This is why we have embarked on an exciting new strategy to make tackling low numeracy an urgent, national issue. However, we will only achieve significant and lasting change by engaging other organisations to support and fund our work.
We work with a wide range of partners: from corporate supporters and charitable trusts and foundations to employers, such as the NHS, unions, charities and the government. All of this is supported by a fantastic staff team, a highly active Board of Trustees and the National Numeracy Leadership Council.
We have an exciting new role for a skilled partnerships fundraiser to join our supportive team. You will spot and develop opportunities to establish new partnerships, as well as manage and help develop our group of amazing partners.
This role would suit a fundraising or partnerships executive, or equivalent, looking to step up, or it could be a great opportunity for someone looking for a new challenge and keen to take the lead on an increasing number of innovative, high-profile national partnerships.
You’ll need to communicate the vital importance of our goals in a way that persuades organisations to work with and, crucially, to fund our work. New business development and ongoing relationship management are crucial as we seek to establish long-term partners and sustainable income streams for the organisation. As Partnerships Manager, you will play an important role in realising our vision.
We are looking for someone who is flexible, a self-starter and able to use their own initiative to generate ideas as well as leads. It’s not imperative that you come from the charity sector as long as you can show us that you have relevant transferable skills and an understanding of what it takes to be successful in this role. We welcome applications from people who may have struggled with maths and numbers and have a personal understanding of the experiences of our beneficiaries.
National Numeracy is based near Brighton but with significant home working potential. The expectation is that you will be in the office occasionally when the work requires it, but we offer significant flexibility opportunities. The role may include regular travel to London and beyond.
We welcome applications from candidates looking to work either four or five days per week.
Applications without a cover letter detailing why you want to work for National Numeracy and detailing the ways in which you are a good fit for the role will not be accepted.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
About the role
We are delighted to share a fantastic opportunity to join the HiA UK Supporter Relations (Fundraising) team.
You will be a key member of the team, working closely with the Head of Supporter Relations and Communications Lead. You will be the first point of contact for our supporters, providing a nurturing approach through regular engagement, encouragement and general support to those who give.
In the world of fundraising, is it important to understand that ‘the supporter is not chosen by us, but they choose us’. With this in mind, your role is an essential part of us showing our appreciation and in turn, encouraging our supporters to continue to engage and give through our donor journey plan.
You will coordinate activities in all areas of Supporter Relations such as raising awareness, fundraising activities, managing and attending events. You will provide essential administrative support through financial and data management. Full training will be provided, if necessary.
About you
For this role, you would need to be someone with a passion for those who have suffered homelessness and be completely aligned with our values, vision and mission. You’ll have excellent administration skills, an eye for detail and the ability to adapt to a fast-paced workplace where every day brings new challenges and tasks. We value good listening skills, the ability to work in a flexible team and learn new skills and initiative to work independently.
We love diversity and we value your unique skills, strengths, knowledge and experience. Becoming one of our team may realise your potential, helping us to raise our performance in empowering those we serve.
In return, we will provide support and training for fundraising in the charity sector.
About us
Our model provides not just shelter and housing know-how, but also the friendship of a church. Together with over 100 churches, we provide direct support to over 350 people on any one night, many of whom others have given up on. They all require not only housing, but holistic support.
Our vision is for every church to lovingly provide the homeless with a home. The tragedy of homelessness is in every community. We believe that with our help, every church can do something about it.
Our aim as the Supporter Relations team is to nurture and encourage supporters, provide resources and support for those who wish to fundraise on our behalf and create partnerships; resulting in financial and engagement support enabling Hope into Action to achieve our vision.
