Romsey Mill is looking for a skilled and creative Fundraiser to join with us and play their part in helping to make our vision of a transformed society, where all young people, children and families fully belong, positively contribute and thrive, a reality.

Who we are

Romsey Mill is a Cambridge-based charitable organisation creating opportunities with young people, families and local communities, across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to overcome disadvantage, promote inclusion and develop personal, social and spiritual wellbeing. 

Established in 1980 by local churches and working in partnership with a range of other organisations, Romsey Mill is a charity with a Christian ethos, working openly and inclusively with people of any faith and none.

We encourage and facilitate community members to come together and develop initiatives which generate responses to common challenges, nurture more resilient local communities, and promote equality and social justice.

The role

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and experienced Fundraiser to our growing team to develop partnerships with individuals and local organisations and help fund our programmed work to transform young lives; in order to secure and grow the current income target of £1.2m.

The post-holder will: help to coordinate and carry out fundraising activities to raise unrestricted voluntary funds from individual donors, both one-off and regular giving; develop effective partnerships with business and community organisations, to grow engagement, participation and revenue;  grow income from individual and group participation in sponsored events and challenges; specific campaigns, team sponsorship challenges; and communicate with supporters and partner organisations through personal contact, print, press and digital media.

We will consider applicants who are looking to work full time (37.5  hpw), or part time (minimum 22.5 hours hpw).

Applicants should be positive about working within an organisation with a Christian ethos and with various expressions of faith across all cultures and backgrounds.

This is an exciting opportunity for experienced and aspiring fundraisers to be part of a developing team, with a chance to generate new ideas and relationships; and make an impact with a creative and compassionate local charity making great difference for good with vulnerable young people, children and families in Cambridgeshire.

Our work

Cambridgeshire is a growing county with a resilient economy.  It’s a great place to grow up, but not if you’re poor or experiencing disadvantage.  There is hidden and dispersed poverty in otherwise affluent areas; over 70% of families in poverty in Cambridgeshire live in less deprived areas, and these children often have the worst outcomes. 

The impact that Romsey Mill makes on young lives is rooted in relationships. We create opportunities with children and families, so that they can begin to see change in their own lives and the world around them.   Our team of staff members and volunteers engages co-creatively with hundreds of local young people, children and families, every year. 

Our ethos also encourages positive work relationships, reflective practice, care and support for health and wellbeing, with much enjoyment and laughter along the way. We would love you to consider becoming part of our team.

We aim to interview applicants for this role on 16th and 17th June 2021.

Saferworld is an independent international organisation that works to prevent and reduce violent conflict and promote co-operative approaches to security. 

We’re looking for people with a background on conflict prevention and peacebuilding programming to join us at Saferworld.  The ideal candidate will be passionate about designing programmes to advance social change, conflict prevention and excited to work with colleagues across the globe and with a wide range of amazing local and national partner organisations in fragile and conflict affected settings. Experience on gender and women, peace and security, partnerships, security and justice, and supporting social movements would be an added asset.

You will support country and regional teams in designing and mobilising funding for peace, security and justice programmes. Working closely with country colleagues, the post-holder will lead on: coordinating and facilitating programme development processes, developing and supporting the implementation of long-term funding plans, supporting new donor engagements and sustaining relationships with current donors; and writing high quality funding applications.   

 You will have proven experience of programme management and support, successful programme design and bid leadership, and will have the skills and experience to lead programme design processes that can then be used as the basis for fundraising and effective programming.

This is an exciting new role for us as a relatively new organisation, reflecting a successful period of expansion and a future focused on sustainability and continued growth. As Head of Business Development you will lead on creating a strong income generation culture across the organisation, building a business development mindset into our central communications and policy work as well as our regional delivery plans.

Children need happy, healthy homes in order to thrive but families face more pressures than ever, with many parents finding the practical and emotional demands overwhelming. Home-Start Cymru provides vital emotional and practical support to families with young children through a volunteer-led, home-visiting (pre-covid) model of support. We combine the strengths of our network of community-based volunteers across Wales with our professional expertise in the early years. We are there for parents when they need us most, because childhood cannot wait. 

Streetwise Opera is recruiting an enthusiastic Development Officer with inspiring and engaging communication skills, and experience in individual giving, community or events fundraising roles. The ideal candidate will be able to develop strong relationships with individual supporters and be committed to providing an excellent supporter experience.

We are looking for someone who is keen to use and develop their skills and experience in a small team. This new role will work on a range of individual fundraising for the delivery of our work, with a focus on coordinating and growing our Friends programme, delivering fundraising and stewardship events, and assisting with our major gifts programme.

You will be joining an award-winning performing arts charity that, since 2002, has inspired and empowered people affected by homelessness through singing and creativity. We are an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation (2018-22), we were recognised as one of the Big Issue’s Top 100 Changemakers 2020, and we’ve been described by The New York Times as “combining social purpose with serious artistic endeavour”.

Homelessness is a complex issue that requires a range of joined-up approaches to solve. Frontline services are vital, however people need more than a bed and a roof to recover from homelessness; they need to feel that they are seen and heard, and they need to know that they have a legitimate place in society. That’s why we work closely with partners in the homeless sector to enable Streetwise Opera participants to build confidence and skills and become part of a supportive and creative community.

As an employer, Streetwise Opera offers a range of benefits including professional development and training opportunities, time off for volunteering, and season ticket loans. You will be joining a friendly, committed and supportive staff team and have the opportunity to make a real difference to our ambitious and life-changing work.

We seek applications from all ages and backgrounds, particularly those who are underrepresented in the arts and homelessness sectors.

We especially welcome applications from people who have been affected by homelessness. Those who can demonstrate that they meet the essential criteria in the person specification will be guaranteed a first round interview. Please ensure that you communicate this clearly in your application.

When face-to-face service delivery resumes, there would be a need for commitment for time in the office. This can be arranged. We therefore welcome applicants from across the UK.

Benefits include:

• 23 days pro rata annual leave including Bank Holidays
• Equipment to support remote working.
• Flexible working policy.
• Pension scheme.
• Development and growth opportunities.
