You will proactively promote, help grow and recruit groups to participate in a variety of fundraising campaigns such as Raise Your Game and Big Brum Bucket, whilst having the creativity to design and implement new income generation opportunities.

We embrace diversity of culture, background and environment knowing it enriches our workplace and our relationships with our local communities. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion and belonging. We would love to hear from you; about what makes you uniquely you, and how this opportunity will support you to succeed.

Candidates can be put off applying for a job when they have caring responsibilities and may not think they can achieve the flexibility they need. We are keen to hear from you, and whilst we can’t accommodate every flexible working request, we’ll try to find a practical solution.

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!
