Community Manager

Home based, remote working 

35 hours per week

As a Community Development Manager in the income and partnerships team, you will be joining a team which is focused on delivering:

• The development of both on and offline communities which will provide an important channel through which to market fundraising products
• Developing and delivering a UK-wide community fundraising product
• Recruitment and training of fundraising volunteers
• Collaboration across the organisation to support their objectives as well as your own

You will be an experienced community fundraiser, excellent at inspiring external audiences and supporting them to raise money or to buy into existing fundraising products.  Within your organisation, you are excellent at collaborating with colleagues and working as part of a team to push boundaries.  Your tenacity helps you to stay focused and you are driven by targets.  Your experience allows you to build believable targets and your creativity and grounding allows you to deliver new ideas driven by insights. 

This is a critical role in the delivery of the RNID’s new strategy.  You will be responsible for developing on and offline communities to engage with the organisation in traditional community fundraising ways but also developing community as an important channel to market existing RNID fundraising products. Crucially you will work with our flagship UK-wide service to help recruit an army of volunteers who are delivering the services and identifying and training those who will fundraise.

We’re the UK’s largest deaf charity making life fully inclusive for deaf people and those with hearing loss or tinnitus. Together, we campaign for an inclusive society. We connect people to practical advice and pioneer new treatments.

We’re putting digital front and centre of what we do. It is the best way to reach more of the 1 in 5 adults in the UK who are deaf or have hearing loss and the 1 in 8 with tinnitus.

Communication is a basic human need. Yet most of us know someone who struggles to communicate through hearing loss. It can cause substantial harm to friendships, family relationships, confidence, employability, mental health and life chances.

The RNID (formerly Action on Hearing Loss) is the UK’s largest charity for the 11 million people in the UK who confront deafness, tinnitus and hearing loss every day. Established in 1911, we help people to take control of their lives and live the life they choose, removing the barriers standing in their way. We give people support and care, develop technology and treatments, and campaign for equality. 

We champion the value of difference and equality and celebrate our diverse and inclusive workforce. We actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from BAME backgrounds or who are deaf or hard of hearing. With almost 20% of our employees having a disability we proudly hold Disability Confident Leader status and guarantee an interview for disabled applicants meeting the minimum essential criteria.

Closing date: 30 January 2022.

Interview date: 4 to 7 February 2022.
