Why Join Us

At The Care Workers’ Charity, everything we do is focused on supporting care workers across the UK. From providing crisis grants and mental health support to campaigning for a fairer future for the workforce, our work makes a real and lasting difference to people who give so much to others every day.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, close-knit team at a pivotal moment in our growth. You will play a central role in shaping how we tell our story, build our supporter base and deliver events and fundraising campaigns that genuinely move the dial. Your ideas will be heard, your work will matter, and you will see the impact of what you do.

You will be joining a small, friendly and supportive team where your contribution is genuinely valued and where you will have real ownership of your work.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced, driven and creative Marketing and Events Manager who brings a genuine passion for fundraising and events — and the skills to match. This is not primarily a desk-based marketing role: you will be the engine behind our events programme and a key driver of our fundraising income.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will lead the planning and delivery of CWC’s events calendar, manage our fundraising activities, and oversee the work of the Marketing and Events Officer. You will be equally comfortable developing the strategy and getting stuck into the detail of execution.

Events will be at the heart of what you do. You will take ownership of our flagship event, coordinate a varied programme of fundraising events, sector conferences and networking activities, and ensure every event is professionally delivered and leaves supporters feeling connected to our mission. You will manage relationships with venues, suppliers and sponsors, and keep a close eye on budgets and income targets.

Fundraising will be a core focus. You will be responsible for achieving financial targets from individual and corporate fundraising, developing creative campaigns across platforms such as Enthuse and JustGiving, and building the kind of relationships with supporters and partners that turn one-off donations into long-term engagement.

Alongside this, you will lead and support the Marketing and Events Officer, ensuring our marketing output — social media, newsletters, website content and campaigns — is consistent, engaging and aligned with our strategic goals.

About You

You will have a proven track record in events management and fundraising, ideally within the charity sector. You know what it takes to plan and deliver events from first concept through to post-event evaluation, and you understand how events can drive income as well as awareness.

You will be a confident, organised and proactive person who can manage competing priorities without losing sight of quality or deadlines. You will be comfortable working independently, managing your own workload and supporting others to manage theirs.

Our ideal candidate will have:

• A proven track record in events management, with demonstrable experience of delivering fundraising income from events
• At least two years’ experience in a charity fundraising or events role
• Experience of line managing or supervising others
• Excellent relationship-building skills with sponsors, corporate partners and individual supporters
• Confidence using fundraising platforms (e.g. Enthuse, JustGiving) and CRM/database systems (Hubspot experience an advantage)
• Strong working knowledge of social media platforms, email marketing tools and website content management
• Experience managing budgets, monitoring income and expenditure, and reporting on financial performance
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• High attention to detail and strong project management skills
• Genuine enthusiasm for the charity’s mission and the people we support

Knowledge of the health and social care sector would be a distinct advantage, though not essential.

We Offer

• A salary between £32,000 and £34,000 per annum
• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• A flexible, remote-working environment — you must be based in England
• A friendly, supportive team culture where your contribution is genuinely valued
• The opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of care workers across the UK

If you are ready to bring your events and fundraising expertise to a cause that really matters, we would love to hear from you.

You will be part of a small energetic and committed team supporting the delivery of Northamptonshire Community Foundation’s philanthropy and income generation ambitions. Working collaboratively with colleagues, you will help grow and steward support from individuals, corporate, charitable and statutory donors, with a lead responsibility for a defined portfolio of relationships and initiatives.

Fundraising and relationship building happen across the charity, and you will manage your own portfolio of donors and partners and work with the Chief Executive and wider team to co-ordinate activity, share insight and maximise opportunities for place based philanthropy in Northamptonshire.

You will need confidence, excellent communication skills and the ability to plan and deliver projects as part of a highly collaborative team. You will be comfortable cultivating, stewarding and sometimes soliciting charitable donations yourself, as well as creating opportunities for the Chief Executive to engage with donors and prospective supporters.

Location: London, hybrid working with a minimum of one day per week in the office
Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week

Build the future of individual giving
An international charity supporting people working at sea is seeking an Individual Giving Manager to lead a step-change in how individual fundraising is planned, delivered and grown.

Individual giving is already generating around £450k per year, with clear ambition to increase this by £100k per year over the next two years. Appeals, digital income and event-driven donations are in place, but there is no single, coordinated strategy or supporter journey. This role exists to design and deliver that strategy.

You will have the opportunity to build strong foundations, introduce clearer processes and automation, and bring coherence to supporter communications and stewardship. There are immediate opportunities for growth, alongside longer-term strategic development.

What you will do

• Design and deliver a clear, ambitious individual giving strategy to grow income and improve supporter retention
• Lead multi-channel appeals and campaigns, including seasonal and end-of-financial-year activity
• Develop coordinated donor journeys across direct mail, digital, events and regular giving
• Improve segmentation, targeting and use of insight to increase engagement and return on investment
• Make effective use of CRM and email marketing systems to support growth and automation
• Oversee supporter care, ensuring timely, accurate and thoughtful responses to supporters
• Manage legacy and in-memoriam fundraising, strengthening and refining existing pipelines
• Work closely with marketing, data and finance colleagues to ensure strong infrastructure and reporting
• Build processes that enable the programme to scale sustainably over time

About you
You will bring:

• Significant experience in individual giving or direct marketing fundraising
• A strong track record of developing and delivering income-generating campaigns
• Strategic thinking combined with the ability to build practical systems and processes
• Confidence using data and insight to shape decisions and improve performance
• Excellent written communication skills and an understanding of supporter motivation
• A collaborative approach and empathy with a mission-driven organisation

Why join
You will be joining a collaborative and supportive team with a strong culture and clear ambition. This role offers genuine ownership, the chance to professionalise an important income stream, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to people working in some of the most challenging conditions in the world.

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.
