About Reach Community Projects:

Our Values: Compassionate – Inclusive – Relational – Honest – Proactive

REACH is a Haverhill-based charity, and we’re determined and passionate about working towards thriving communities where people are resilient and flourishing. Our mission is to relieve and prevent financial hardship whilst tackling the causes and advocating for change.

We have 4 main areas of work:

Prevention - Proactively preventing future financial hardship through education and connecting people to tailored support systems.

Policy - Advocating for change through influencing and local campaigning and collectively developing policy to tackle issues facing our local community.

Long-term Support - Alleviating financial hardship through income maximisation and debt advice.

Emergency Aid - Providing immediate short-term support to financial crisis.

We love diversity and we value your unique skills, strengths, knowledge, and experience. Becoming one of our team may realise your potential, helping us to raise our performance in empowering those we serve.

About the role:

The post holder will be responsible for all things fundraising. 

The ideal candidate will be keen to build relationships with individuals and corporate supporters, as well as make applications to trusts and foundations to secure grant funding.  You will contribute towards the fundraising strategy to ensure sustainability of the charity.

Working with our team members and volunteers, you will manage our funding pipeline, produce a range of applications – whether multi-year grants or project specific requests – and help to capture and report REACH’s impact for the benefits of funders.

About you:

We are looking for someone who is organised, enthusiastic and keen to support. This will require a proactive and can-do attitude, with the ability to think independently and be flexible. A keen eye for detail is a must, as is understanding the importance of working to deadlines.

A proactive and independent thinker, you will be able to prioritise your workload while remaining flexible to adapt to what is needed.

Your written and communication skills will be strong, and you will be able to describe the impact of REACH’s work both passionately and factually. You should be interested in communicating a range of statistics and stories that paint a picture succinctly for a variety of forms and audiences.

From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be. To say that this is an exciting time for the organisation would be an understatement, as our incredible funders, donors, partners and supporters have given us the chance to move to the next level, and have further influence and delivery nationally.

The ethos of the organisation is to be passionate about helping young people from less-advantaged backgrounds; build up other charities and community groups and want to partner with them or support them; want to work with businesses and organisations to get things done; and care deeply about addressing racial inequity.

The organisation has a number of strands: core Making The Leap; the UK Social Mobility Awards; the Social Mobility Podcast; The Social Mobility List and Black Charity Leaders.

We are recruiting three Delivery Managers, two on a Fixed Term Contract for 23 months and one Permanent, to join our Service Design Team. Please state clearly in your supporting statement if you wish to be considered for the Fixed term or Permanent role.

The Fund is embarking on an exciting digital journey over the coming years. This role will put you at the heart of those ambitions.

As a Delivery Manager you will take delivery lead of one or more of our critical digital products (and the relevant part of the service journey). That could be further improving an existing digital product like the recently launched website, or designing and developing a new digital product as part of our digital roadmap.
