We have a unique and special opportunity for someone to become part of the journey to end homeless.

Now is the time to build on this and by joining this team as Community Fundraiser in the West Midlands you will have the opportunity to play a role in making this happen, and in shaping a better future for us all.

The Role

This is an exciting, fixed term position, providing cover while the current postholder is on secondment. The role sits within an ambitious and award-winning fundraising team, committed to finding innovative ways to build Crisis’ profile and support across the UK. Duties will include:

• Contributing to income growth across the West Midlands by building a network of fundraising and volunteer support
• Developing connections and activities to generate funds from communities, individuals, local trusts, companies, and volunteer fundraising groups
• Supporting the delivery of regional fundraising appeals, third party events and community engagement activity
• Ensuring an excellent supporter experience, providing a timely and appropriate response to enquiries and signposting them to guidance.

The Person

We are looking for individuals with excellent communication skills and previous experience of building a wide range of successful relationships and delivering first-rate supporter or customer care. Ideally you will have worked with volunteers and be confident in identifying and building successful relationships with a range of supporters.

The charity is looking to appoint a Senior Community Fundraising to provide high quality stewardship for fundraisers who are undertaking community events and activities to create and effectively manage innovative in-person and virtual events and activities to reach new supporters, and to maximise income, ensuring the Trust has the funds to deliver its’ charitable objectives.
