About us:

Every day of your life matters - from the first to the last. When you work for Marie Curie, you understand that better than ever. We're a passionate, committed and diverse team of more than 4,400 staff and 12,000 volunteers, here for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. We offer expert care, guidance and support, to help them get the most from the time they have left.

Everyone knows our daffodil, but it's our warmth, creativity and care that touch lives. Here, we take the time to really get to know the people we care for and those who love them. And we do whatever it takes to give them the final days and hours they deserve.

We have a unique and special opportunity for someone to become part of the journey to end homeless. During the Coronavirus pandemic the bold, collective action of this incredible charity helped thousands of people off the streets in the space of just a few weeks. It also prevented thousands more people from becoming 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. Perhaps most importantly you should be highly motivated to help achieve the change needed to end homelessness altogether.

The role will be largely home-based with travel across the West Midlands and offices based in Birmingham and Coventry. This is a wonderful opportunity to join an ambitious team with a positive culture and flexible and supportive environment. Does this sound like the place for you?! Get in touch for more details!

Please note: If you would like to submit an application or express your interest in an alternative format, such as audio or video upload, please contact either Charlie or Leanne who will be happy to advise on this.

Please also be aware that Charity Horizons use anonymous recruitment methods when submitting shortlists for all our roles and we only work with organisations that are happy to engage with us in this way.

Charity Horizons is an equal opportunities employer and as such actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

36% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Innovations for Learning (IFL) is a charity focused on using technology to close this literacy gap through a unique online reading support programme called TutorMate. 

About Innovations for Learning

Innovations for Learning (IfL) is a small but growing charity, which is working to ensure that every child in the UK acquires the literacy skills they need for their to thrive and fulfil their potential. Many children fall behind with reading simply because they lack the opportunity to practise. TutorMate addresses this problem by using a bespoke internet platform to pair volunteer tutors from corporate organisations with struggling pupils. TutorMate has been proven to improve the literacy outcomes, confidence and reading enjoyment of young children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our model is to partner with local and national businesses which recruit their own employees as volunteer readers and provide funding for the programme. TutorMate pairs struggling children (5- to 7-year-olds) with adult volunteers who use a bespoke internet platform and a voice connection to link – from their workplace or home – to a dedicated classroom laptop for 30 minutes a week, during the school day, over an entire academic year.  Up to ten children in each Year 1 or Year 2 class participate, giving the programme a reach and scale that no school is able to achieve with parent or community volunteers.

We have set ourselves an ambitious target of supporting 4,000 children by 2024. By securing 25% of our income from trusts and foundations,  this role will be pivotal in ensuring we meet this target.

The Community Organiser – our new community organising role at the RSPB

The RSPB is developing new ways of working alongside communities in the UK. Our new approach uses community organising techniques in order to support communities to build their own power whilst connecting with nature and taking action in a meaningful way.

Through our Nature on Your Doorstep project, this role will work alongside other community organisers, volunteers, RSPB area teams and the UKHQ Community Team to co-design and test a new community organising framework, resources and monitoring and evaluation methodology. This will ensure that our work has impact and that those teams working in communities are supported in the future.

The role will require going out into the local community to build a relationship with the local community leaders, listening to their needs and gain an understanding of the area. The Community Organiser will have excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to adapt to different audiences and handle challenging conversations.

Through the process of co-design, and in the true spirit of ‘community organising’, the role will then facilitate the community themselves to run a programme of activities that enables them to connect with and act for nature. The role will explore the use of a supportive community network, including formal or informal volunteers, community leaders and local partners. Reflective practise will occur throughout, feeding into the ongoing plan of activities and resources as well as informing the evolving community organising framework. From the beginning we will have in mind that we want to build confidence and capability in the community and their leaders so that ultimately, we can step away from the community with the exception of occasional light touch support, promoting and celebrating their successes.

• Co-designing and piloting a new framework to help RSPB staff work with communities
• Helping design & implement a monitoring and evaluation framework and using this to report on the progress of your work

• Signposting to resources and identifying gaps for developing new resources
• Working in network of other community organisers
• Working with our social scientist to test different interventions in communities, including Barratt Developments.

Essential skills, knowledge and experience:

• Excellent interpersonal, communication & written skills and ability to engage with a wide range of people face to face.
• Computer literacy and a basic understanding of social media platforms.
• Leadership and relationship-building skills with a strong ability to work under your own initiative and motivate others.
• Strong planning, organisational and project management skills.
• Experience of delivering targets and monitoring, evaluating and reporting outcomes.
• Experience of working with partnership networks.
• Volunteer recruitment and support.

Desirable skills, knowledge and experience:

• Formal experience of community organising, empowerment and/or engagement.
• Delivering community-focussed events.
• Able to perform administrative tasks and to deliver accurate reporting to given timescales.
• Mediation training.
• Good basic knowledge of UK wildlife, habitats and key species (sufficient to be able to lead public engagement activities in a credible way and to train and motivate volunteers).
• Geographical knowledge of location and community.
• Budget management.
