Care for Wild UK is seeking an experienced fundraising professional to lead further growth of our UK-based fundraising activities.

This is a really exciting time for Care for Wild UK, having registered as a charity at the start of 2020, and following successful income growth over the past couple of years, we are now looking for someone to build on this and lead in developing and establishing a long-term fundraising portfolio.

We have been supporting the world’s largest Rhino sanctuary, based in South Africa, to rescue, rehabilitate and rewild orphaned White and Black Rhinos. As they look to further expand their operations and closer integrate with the local community, Care for Wild UK also plans to increase income through diversifying income streams. The successful candidate will work closely with Trustees and partners in South Africa to drive existing and new fundraising activities. 

We are looking for a conservation-motivated, experienced professional with a track record of building fundraising portfolios and excellent stakeholder management. We offer 16-24 hours a week flexible working, and as we currently don’t have an office, we are looking for someone who can work remotely. This role is initially 9-12 months, but we will look to expand this, and potentially make it permanent, if it is successful. This is an amazing opportunity to be instrumental in establishing mass fundraising operations in the UK.

If this sounds like an exciting opportunity that you could lead forward for us then we would love to hear from you.
