Do you want to use your skills to make a real difference in the world? Through quality fundraising, Chell Perkins Ltd exists to make a very real and lasting impact on the third sector. We want to identify, partner with and nurture the next generation of potential fundraisers to see all charities have access to bespoke, exceptional and affordable fundraising support.
Personally, Stuart and I have been blessed by the charities we have worked with. They offered us training, sharpened our fundraising skills, challenged us, and invested in our ability to fundraise well: releasing us to help more individuals with deeper support.
Chell Perkins Ltd wishes to pay this kindness forwards through our Junior Fundraising Training Programme.
Break into fundraising and make a difference:
If you want to use your skills to help charities, this five year training programme will teach you everything you need to know about fundraising, whilst giving you considerable on-the job training and support.
How it works:
Year 1 - Fundraising Officer: You’ll be inducted into an immersive training programme, featuring online/classroom training, self study and key textbooks. There is plenty of practical experience with trusts and foundations, event, corporate, individual donor and major donor fundraising. This is all aimed to equip you for your Certificate in Fundraising in year two.
Year 2 - Fundraising Consultant: This year you will have the opportunity to complete IOF's Certificate in Fundraising. This is the industry recognised qualification for frontline fundraisers, fully funded by Chell Perkins Ltd. It provides the theory and principles behind successful fundraising and practical skills to make an immediate impact on fundraising results. With your increased experience and knowledge, you will find yourself taking the lead more with our client’s trust and foundation, direct mail, capital and event fundraising.
Year 3/4 - Senior Consultant: By year three, you will have experienced fundraising across a diverse range of income streams. This learned experience will now see you assisting Chell Perkins Ltd with strategy formation and consultation work throughout the third sector. We will offer some candidates the chance at this stage for our Senior Consultants to enter into a Level 7 qualification either with the Institute of Fundraising or the University of Kent.
Year 5 - Principle Consultant/Team Leader: As the scheme progresses and you continue to sharpen your fundraising toolkit, you will be given the choice of two directions: working towards being a Principal Consultant or becoming a Team Leader.
Team Leader - This role will see you managing your own team of fundraisers within a speciality or sector that suits you best. You will be responsible for ensuring all output from your team is exceptional quality, bringing the best outcomes for the charities we work for. You will help to mentor and train some of the newer members of staff on your team.
Principle Consultant - You will use your skills to now lead and partner with your own charity clients. In working with charities throughout the last 4 to 5 years, you will have built relationships and grown your capacity to support organisations in a variety of ways. Chell Perkins Ltd will support you as you transform charities through professional, passionate and pro-active fundraising.
Both roles will be instrumental to ensure that Chell Perkins Ltd continues to support charities and make their Vision A Reality.
Why ChellPerkins?
At the end of this scheme you will be a fundraising expert, trained in every aspect of the job and capable of talking to clients and organisations of all shapes and sizes. But there’s much more to the scheme than the nuts and bolts. Although we are biased (of course) the Chell Perkins team are a great bunch of people to work with. We really care about your future, our clients and the world we all share. We want you to become part of the family, enjoying a sometimes-chaotic, always-caring and fully-empowering work culture that is aimed at helping you realise your own potential.
Client mix
Candidates should be aware that at present 70% of our clients come from a Christian background (either they are churches or Christian charities). While it is not an occupational requirement to be a Christian, candidates must be happy to write for a faith-based audience.

2020 was a huge challenge for us operationally as much as it was for individuals and communities across the UK. We put our best foot forward and met that challenge, expanding our operations to meet demand, engaging with more food suppliers and bringing the media and sports ambassadors on board to spread our message and help us engage with those who needed our support.
We now need your expertise to support our work and make sure people throughout Merseyside and North Wales can access our FareShare Go services and understand our mission.
We’ve got a great set of values that inform our work, we’re Passionate, Ambitious, Respectful, Collaborative and Focused. Our mission is to tackle the cause of food poverty and not just the symptoms and we’re driven by the vision of a UK where no good food goes to waste.
So, if you are someone who can forge relationships, engage with audiences and handle all manner of situations, this is the right challenge for you with plenty of chances to make an impact and a difference.
The Role
As a Community Co-ordinator, you will be tasked with driving the growth and sustainability of FareShare Go in Merseyside and North Wales.
Specifically, this will involve engaging, and maximising relationships with, charities and retailers across the region and ensuring their charity experience with us is second-to-none.
Your role will focus on five key areas; charity account management, community capacity building, sustainability and compliance, retailer engagement and FareShare network engagement.
This will involve:
- Engaging with new and existing charities, ensuring that KPIs are reached
- Seeking opportunities to enable and empower charities to increase their capacity
- Identifying stores where re-engagement activities are needed to improve charity coverage
- Maintaining strong retailer relationships across the region
- Partnering closely with the Regional Centre(s) in your area and working on joint initiatives to improve and grow the FareShare community
About You
To be considered as a Community Co-ordinator, you will need:
- Exceptional relationship-building skills with a range of stakeholders
- Strong communication skills and the ability to engage with a variety of audiences
- Confidence and an assertive nature when handling difficult situations, whilst demonstrating calmness and professionalism
- Strong problem-solving skills
- To be able to self-manage your own performance and workload
- Initiative and innovative thinking, in order to shape new/different ways of working
- Strong IT skills
- A flexible approach to working arrangements as the role may involve high levels of travel to areas in the UK
- A valid driving licence for the UK, access to your own vehicle and can undertake extensive travel across your region
Level 2/3 Food Safety training would be desirable, but training will be provided. Previous experience of working with constituent relationship management (CRM) software, preferably Salesforce, would also be beneficial, as would some experience in data analysis and project planning. A degree-level qualification or a strong career history with relevant skills would also be advantageous.
Other organisations may call this role Community Engagement Co-ordinator, Partnerships Officer, Food Poverty Prevention Co-ordinator, Community Partnerships Officer, Charity Partnerships Co-ordinator, or Community Services Officer.
The closing date for this role is the 22nd August 2021.
