You will work collaboratively with the head of department and other directorate colleagues to create and embed a fundraising and engagement culture across the organisation.
A key part of the role is to provide practical, administrative support and to lead on facilitating the collection of insight evaluation and future development, ensuring this supports team performance and learning. We’re a small and dynamic team at the forefront of innovating the charity’s Income and Engagement directorate.
This is a unique opportunity to shape how we communicate with our supporters across multiple channels – including email, post and SMS – ensuring that everyone who interacts with Versus Arthritis feels valued, inspired, and connected to our cause.
