AREA FUNDRAISING MANAGER

Do you want to join our commitment to ensure no family faces cancer alone?

We are looking for a standout relationship manager to join our fantastic team of fundraisers who work tirelessly to raise funds for Young Lives vs Cancer. This is a role of variety, opportunity and innovation and we are looking for someone who embraces change and constantly strives to achieve more.

A great personality and team ethic are really important in this role as you will maximise income for Young Live vs Cancer by coaching our supporters to reach their goals, whilst seeking out new fundraising opportunities for your geographical area. This role sits within the ‘Supporter Experience’ team, and we need someone with natural customer service skills who wants to deliver a legendary experience to all of their supporters. Your team of supporters will range from volunteers and individuals to groups and local corporates.

Essex is a fantastic county filled with some of our most committed supporters but there is so much opportunity to grow the county even more. Our Social Workers support Essex families from GOSH and UCLH in London so building relationships with this team is a must.

We are not your average employer, nor are we looking for an average candidate in a 9-5 role. What we offer is the flexibility and adaptivity to ensure that your personal work/life balance is taken care of. Whether it is finishing early for an appointment, picking up from school or further education, we can help to make it work for you. Many of the team work condensed or flexible hours to suit their individual circumstance so we would love to discuss your needs more at interview.

Experience within a similar role, or within the charity sector, would be great, but we know that a lot of the most important skills in this role are easily transferable from another sector. We want the right person and we will invest in training the right candidate. The skills we are looking for in this role are:

• Strong prioritisation skills
• Great communicator
• Self-Motivated
• Emotionally intelligent
• Master at storytelling
• Epic at relationship building
• Self-Aware
• Great at spotting opportunities
• Influencing/Negotiating
• Compassion

About the roles
The Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) is offering an exciting opportunity to take on the role of Regional Lead, to offer support and guidance to local authorities and housing providers seeking DAHA Accreditation. We are particularly excited to be opening up two posts (one for North of England and one for London & the South East) at this time to join this growing team and manage demand for our services. The Regional Lead roles are solely funded through DAHA Membership & this is a real opportunity to be part of the evolution that is seeing housing’s response to domestic abuse improve so that survivors get the right response first time every time.

If you have relevant frontline experience in either or both sectors and have a real passion to end domestic abuse this may be for you.

You will have the confidence and skills to build relationships with local authorities and housing providers and guide them through the DAHA accreditation process. You will be comfortable and experienced in written and verbal communication, including writing professional reports, and giving presentations to operational and strategic partners, both in room and virtually.

You will work well within a team, as well as having the confidence to work independently. You will represent the principles and values of the DAHA partnership and Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse.

Both roles are home based with some travel possible across the regions and to the ST Office in Hammersmith, London as required.
We value and recognise the skills of those who have lived experience of domestic abuse, although this is not essential, and you will never be asked to disclose your own personal experiences. We also welcome anyone who identifies as being part of an under-represented community.

About DAHA
The Domestic Abuse housing Alliance (DAHA) is a partnership between Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse (STADA), Gentoo and Peabody housing associations. We are the leading specialist domestic abuse organisation supporting housing providers to improve their response to domestic abuse, through our membership model, accreditation framework and training packages. We use our practice-based experience to work alongside partners across the housing and domestic abuse sector to influence policy and national decision making through our DAHA-led National Domestic Abuse & Housing Policy and Practice Group

DAHA is a part of our wider Housing Team at STADA, which includes our Whole housing Approach Team, Housing First and Homeless team and DAHA.
