This is an exciting opportunity to join a charity at the very start and to make a difference in shaping how we move forward.

Who are we looking for?

At present we are working to secure funding that will see us through our first year, and the role will be an important part of the organisation's growth and ability to obtain funding for the operational activities and start up for the organisation. We are currently working with a third-party funding strategy specialist and the Funding Co-ordinator will oversee this launch as well as look into other funding options that may be available pre-start up and in the following months.

As an organisation, Living Reasons believe that your individual skills are more important than experience. With this in mind, this role would suit someone who enjoys helping others, finding solutions in novel ways and can look at creative ways of generating income for a new style of organisation, as well as find ways for free or discounted support. Whether you have experience in fundraising is not as important as your passion for the cause and to make a difference as these skills can grow alongside the organisation.
