As a Charity Fundraiser what you will be doing is inspirational. You will be interacting with members of the Public and Employers to inspire them to donate, with a focus on driving donations and all forms of supporter engagement.

You will be responsible for the implementation, co-ordination, and promotion of events, campaigns, and appeals and you will complement both new and existing fundraising campaigns in order to maximise fundraising income generation.

If you feel you have the experience needed to succeed in this role and have a passion for helping people with life limiting illnesses, then this may be the perfect role for you.

We have an exciting opportunity at World Child Cancer and are recruiting an Individual Giving, Community and Challenge Event Fundraiser.

We are a passionate and results driven team with a genuine desire to innovate, collaborate and fundraise to support children with cancer and their families across the world. We have an ambitious target to reach 16,000 children per year by 2025 and increasing income from individuals is a key way for us to achieve this.  

The successful applicant will raise and manage income from individuals (giving under £5k), our running and challenge supporters and community fundraisers. You will also support on the delivery of our annual flagship fundraising event. In addition, to ensure we are contacting the right donors at the right time, you will support on data-base management. This is a full and exciting role with room to grow and you will need to be versatile and innovative in your approach.

At World Child Cancer, we deliver amazing programmatic work and have a strong case for support with inspiring stories to tell, like that of Sahara.  

We currently raise just over £2m each year and have ambitions to grow to £5m by 2025. Raising unrestricted income from individual supporters is key to enabling the organisation to stabilise through this challenging time and grow into the future.

If you are excited by this opportunity and have the ambition and drive to help us achieve our goals, we would love to hear from you.

There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1 million by 2025, and 1.4 million by 2040. In response to this, Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse service. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them, giving the one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions that people need.

The charity has seen significant income growth over the past five years, and we have ambitious plans to maintain this growth so we can significantly increase the number of Admiral Nurses, and the specialist support they provide.

You would be joining a passionate team at an exciting time, as events and community fundraising will play an important part of this growth, making up over a third of the charity’s income next financial year. Although events and community activity was hit hard by the pandemic, we adapted quickly to seize opportunities and test new propositions, and in the last year have achieved far more than we thought possible.

We are now looking for a results-driven fundraiser with strong attention to detail and a creative flair to deliver our flagship fundraising event – Time for a Cuppa, as well as support on insight-led product development cycles. You’ll be a strong collaborator who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Please see the job description for more details.

Please note, only applications including both a CV and completed application questions will be considered. We do not require a covering letter for this role.

Interviews are scheduled for Monday 22nd of March.
