Disproportionally affected amongst those are the most vulnerable in our communities; 4.5 million children, one in three households in poverty that include someone with a disability or mental ill health; minority ethnic communities; single mothers and those fleeing domestic abuse; homeless people and care leavers.

What we are looking for

This role requires a relationship fundraiser, who is creative and enjoys building long lasting relationships with donors and committee members. A background in direct marketing is essential, including multi-channel campaigns – will be crucial.

You’ll need to be a good all-rounder, think on your feet and work independently and flexible because there will be some evening and weekend work. You’ll also have a flair for creative writing as you will be putting interesting stories together for our newsletters and punchy posts for social media. A ‘head for numbers’, an eye for detail and strong problem solving skills and IT skills are also needed.

Excellent people skills are a must. In this role you will meet all sorts of people from many walks of life, so you will need to be confident and a good communicator. The fundraising team is in regular contact with the people we support too. This might be whilst taking photos, showing supporters round or simply dropping in to say hello. We support people of all abilities, some with severe learning disabilities and complex health needs. It is essential you are comfortable with this.

This is a thoroughly rewarding role for the right person. You might already come from a fundraising background or you may have all of the transferrable skills needed to make this your move into the charity sector. Whichever, if this is you, then we’d love to hear from you!
