We’re looking for a proactive individual with community fundraising and volunteer management experience to join us as a Regional Community Fundraiser and help us maximise our local fundraising activities.

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Part of our hugely successful Income Generation division, Shelter’s Community Fundraising team is a new and, currently, small team but with big plans to grow our numbers to have Regional Fundraisers in 12 cities across England and Scotland. Community Fundraising is a key part of Shelter’s long-term fundraising strategy and investment is being made available to fund it. We have recently appointed a new Head of Community Fundraising and are now seeking to expand our team of Regional Fundraisers – it’s a great time to join us.

At Shelter we are committed to tackling systematic inequalities and currently we are looking to increase the diversity within our Fundraising team. We would particularly welcome applications from anyone with a BAME background or considers themselves to have a disability.
 

About the role
Implementing a new community fundraising strategy in Sheffield and the surrounding areas is just one of the challenges we’ll expect you to rise to in this high profile role. Essentially, you’ll be responsible for raising the profile of the organisation and attracting new loyal and regular supporters. That means shaping and developing your geographical area and local community to establish a tangible relationship with Shelter and its work. It also means providing a high standard of stewardship to add value to current and new Shelter fundraisers and volunteers. Working in the best interests of the charity by contributing to wider fundraising teams' goals whenever possible will be important too. Put simply, you’ll do everything you can to generate more income and attract new long-term supporters. 

About you 
To succeed, you’ll need a proven relevant background, including working within community fundraising, volunteer management and a demonstrable track record of meeting and exceeding financial targets. We’ll also be looking for experience of reporting using Raisers Edge or a similar database. Customer focused, commercially aware and results-driven, you have a creative and innovative approach and will be able to start and build relationships and to effectively tell the story of why people should support Shelter’s fight to end homelessness and bad housing. What’s more, you’re not afraid to challenge the status quo and try new ideas when appropriate. Proficiency using Microsoft Office applications is also required, as is a full UK driving licence.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect.

All young people face challenges. At Whizz-Kidz we know that for young wheelchair users, society can be that bit more challenging to navigate. Whizz-Kidz transforms lives, because the right wheelchair is more than just a set of wheels, it can be the key to unlocking a young person’s potential. But we do much more than provide specialist, tailored wheelchairs; our range of services give young wheelchair users the chance to lead a fun and active childhood, whilst gaining vital skills and developing confidence and independence.

We believe every young wheelchair user deserves the best opportunities in life. If you do too, and you think you have the skills to help us, then read on.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the Whizz-Kidz Fundraising team, as maternity cover for the current Group Head of Partnership Fundraising, who will begin maternity leave in early November. As such, it is anticipated that you will join us in late October (to complete a handover) for an anticipated 12-month period. The role leads the Partnership Fundraising Division, which encompasses both our Corporate Partnerships and Trusts, Statutory and Lottery Fundraising teams and carries income responsibility in excess of £3M – more than 60% of our fundraised income. 

This is an instrumental and busy role within the Fundraising Department, leading a high-performing team who have delivered significant growth in recent years and have clear plans for the future. However, the coronavirus pandemic means we are operating in the most challenging environment of a lifetime, and our plans need to be responsive to constant change and challenge. As such, the successful candidate needs to not only be a skilled and experienced relationship fundraiser, but also an exceptional and experienced team leader, who can support and lead a well-established team of talented, ambitious fundraisers, helping them to navigate this period and achieve success. 
The right candidate will understand the demands of a maternity cover role, will demonstrate their ability to quickly network across the organisation to build positive, productive relationships and maintain excellent channels of communication to ensure successful implementation of the team’s strategy and operational plans.

The successful applicant will join the Fundraising Leadership Team, working alongside the Group Head of Public Fundraising and reporting to myself (Director of Fundraising), having direct line management responsibility for four Partnerships team managers. Whizz-Kidz has recently adopted a fully flexible working pattern, and whilst this role needs to have a visible presence and quickly build relationships - not only with the Partnerships team but across the organisation - I will consider both part-time (4 days) working, as well as working from home on an occasional basis.

We are excited to have recently moved to new offices on the fringe of Borough Market, so you will be assured of an engaging and vibrant working environment. Our benefits package includes a healthcare cash plan, cycle scheme, pension (employer contribution up to 6%) and 25 days’ annual leave (rising to a maximum of 30, with length of service), plus bank holidays and a Christmas shutdown (in addition to your annual leave - minimum 3 days).
