About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.

As we begin to emerge from lockdown, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.
We are recruiting for a Fundraising Development Officer to join our expanding Partnerships and Philanthropy team, to work alongside our inspirational supporters and beneficiaries to bring an end to homelessness in Great Britain.

Whilst you won’t be primarily supporter facing you will be absolutely central to fundraising success, using and growing your in-depth knowledge of corporate partner and philanthropy audiences, putting you in a brilliant position to later move into either a frontline fundraising role or a range of other internal teams. But we hope you won’t want to leave!

About you

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including experience writing for high net worth and/or business audiences.
• Confidence in using digital channels to communicate and meet objectives
• Experience of working on events for high value audiences, in both a lead and support role.
• Experience of building productive working relationships with a range of stakeholders in a medium to large scale organisation
• Good numeracy skills and an understanding of finance processes.
• Experience supporting a busy team on multiple projects and managing competing deadlines.
• Strong organisation skills, attention to detail and a methodical approach to tasks.
• Able to work on own initiative, but also as part of a closely coordinated team.
• Share Crisis’s values and be passionate about ending homelessness

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy

Over the past 80 years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has developed unparalleled expertise in responding to emergencies and helping uprooted communities to rebuild.

The International Rescue Committee UK is part of the IRC global network, which has its headquarters in New York and London.
