• Write compelling content for multiple channels, including our website, blog, social media, and press releases, tailored to diverse audiences

• Assist with administrative tasks to ensure the smooth running of our fundraising team and activities

To be successful in this role, you must be:

Responsive, extremely organised, able to meet deadlines, and passionate about seeing growth and progress in your work and reaching targets and KPIs.

For this role, you’ll need:

• Adept at all aspects of Microsoft Office
