Community fundraising and operations officer jobs

About The Role

This is a role for someone who sees how things really work behind the scenes and can’t help spotting where they could work better. As Process Development Lead, you’ll sit right at the heart of Supporter Services and Fundraising operations, shaping how work flows end-to-end so it’s clearer, faster, more consistent and ultimately better for the people we support. You won’t just be tweaking processes, you’ll be joining the dots across teams, systems, suppliers and governance to build something that actually holds together at scale and stands up to scrutiny.

Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

A big part of this role is turning complexity into clarity. That means mapping what’s happening now, challenging where it doesn’t add value, and designing ways of working that people can actually follow and rely on. You’ll bring structure where it’s missing, whether that’s standard operating procedures, RACI models, dashboards or control frameworks but you’ll also know when something needs simplifying rather than adding another layer. Alongside this, you’ll take a leading role in how key fundraising suppliers are managed, making sure performance, compliance and value for money are properly understood and built into everyday operations, not treated as an afterthought.

Just as important is how you get things embedded. This isn’t a role where change sits in a document it has to land with people. You’ll be working closely with colleagues across Fundraising, Supporter Services, Finance, Procurement and Compliance, influencing without authority and building trust so that new ways of working actually stick. You’ll be the person who helps teams see the benefit in doing things differently, supports them through it, and keeps improving what’s already in place. If you’re someone who enjoys taking messy, inconsistent processes and turning them into something that works properly in the real world and then making sure it stays that way, this is where you’ll make your mark.

Fundraising sits at the heart of The Royal British Legion’s 10-year strategy, and we’re investing in the people, skills and ideas that will drive growth and strengthen our support for the Armed Forces community. As one of the UK’s most trusted and recognisable charities, we have the reach and ambition to make a real difference, and this is your chance to be part of it. Our Fundraising portfolio is broad and dynamic, spanning major corporate partnerships to our sector leading charity Lottery. We’re investing in growth, evolving how we work, and putting supporters at the centre of everything we do. This is an exciting time to join us. You’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team, helping shape the future of our fundraising and the impact we achieve together.

If you are applying for multiple Fundraising roles at the same ‘Officer’ or ‘Manager’ title, you are welcome to use the same supporting statement across applications. However, we would encourage tailoring your statement where possible, particularly if applying for roles across different teams or titles.

You will be contracted to our Haig House hub with a minimum expectation of two days per week working in person at the hub and flexibility for working remotely/at home when not on site.

Employee benefits include -

- 28 day’s paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days
- Enhanced paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave
- Generous pension contributions, with Employer contributions ranging from 6% to 10%
- Range of flexible working options may be available, depending on your role
- Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential counselling, financial and legal advice
- Range of courses delivered by learning specialists to support your development goals and objectives
- Opportunities to volunteer
- Travel loans, Cycle to Work, and more!

Our teams take a personalised approach to shortlisting, which is carried out without the use of AI and is based on the evidence provided in your application against the essential and desirable criteria in the Person Specification.

WasteAid is an international non-governmental organisation that works in low and middle-income countries to implement environmental and economic empowerment programmes, focusing on support to nascent green businesses and grassroots entrepreneurs. The work improves the livelihoods of some of the poorest and most marginalised, promotes circular economy innovation and contributes to a cleaner and healthier future for all.

Our programmes focus predominantly on the reduction of plastic, organic, textile and e-waste pollution in areas of the world that have no formal waste management systems.

The organisation promotes and shares locally appropriate, evidence based inclusive practices, supporting and empowering others to take positive action. We partner with public, private and community-based organisations in countries where the lack of waste management systems is harming the environment, economy and society. We achieve our goals through our 3 flagship programmes:

- Our Wastepreneur programme for those individuals and micro businesses trying to make a living within the circular economy and make a difference in their communities.

- The WasteAid Circular Economy Network which brings together national stakeholders, local authorities and the private sector to tackle local waste challenges through networking, training, infrastructure support and innovation challenges.

- First Step Resource Management Programmes focus on a whole system approach to divert waste from landfill supporting community behaviour change, basic infrastructure, collector group training and end market development.

The organisation is just over 10 years old and has enjoyed sustainable growth with an annual budget this year of circa £1.2 million. It is a dynamic organisation with an international team who work in a supportive and collegial environment.

WasteAid currently implements programmes in The Gambia, India, South Africa and Uganda.
