At the heart of Starlight’s fundraising and marketing strategy is a focus on building lasting, meaningful and relevant relationships with our supporters. We are committed to demonstrating the importance and value of every contribution, and to ensuring that every interaction with Starlight is positive, personal and professional.

The Supporter Care Coordinator plays a vital role in supporting all areas of fundraising and marketing by acting as a central point of contact for our supporters. You will ensure that every supporter experience reflects Starlight’s values, balancing warmth and empathy with accuracy, efficiency and strong processes.

You’ll enjoy talking to supporters, taking time to understand them, listening to what matters to them and making sure they feel genuinely valued and appreciated. You’ll also take pride in Starlight’s reputation for excellent supporter care and will be motivated to deliver high standards of customer service while ensuring donations and data are handled accurately, securely and in line with agreed processes.

This role offers the opportunity to develop your fundraising knowledge and skills, supporting a wide range of fundraising activity including individual giving, community and challenge events, corporate partnerships, legacies and in-memory giving, and trusts and foundations. With your experience and expertise, you will help ensure we deliver consistently positive, timely and well-managed supporter interactions that contribute to supporter retention and long-term income growth.

The Fundraising Officer will play a key role in the Fundraising and Communications team driving income from Events & Community as well as assisting with wider income generation and supporter care activities.

We are a small but mighy team at Doctors of the World UK. Our vision is of a world in which people affected by war, natural disasters, disease, hunger, poverty, or exclusion get the healthcare they need. As well as running medical programmes across the globe we also support people excluded from healthcare in the UK and advocate for their rights. 

Interviews will be held on Friday 20th February.
