You’ll be joining a small team of 5 people and your role will be to secure the funding we need to grow across the UK. You’ll also lead on an exciting project we’re embarking on with the NHS.

We’re looking for someone who will definitely be available from August onwards, however a mid-July start date would be even better :-)

Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. We all share it. And it drives our Income Generation team to get out there and bring in the funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse. Join us as a Fundraiser, and get more people involved in change that means everything.

We’re looking for a self-motivated, experienced Fundraiser to join the Mass Participation Team. Our owned events and products are a key tool to attract new supporters to the NSPCC and generate vital funds. In 2020, we launched Run30, Ride300, Walk for Children and The Big Climb. Building on the success of these virtual minimal viable products, there is an opportunity and ambition to be part of a team who will grow these pilots into sustainable income streams for the organisation.

During the course of this six-month contract, you will work in a team to scale these events. As a Fundraiser within the team, you will be responsible for the project management and delivery of event and product marketing campaigns, meeting targets for participation and income.

Your great communication and creative problem-solving skills will be put to use and you will enjoy a busy and varied workload. Briefing creative teams, working with our media agency, reporting on registrations, seeking supporter feedback and participating in creative workshops are just some of the things you’ll be doing, so the role requires lots of drive and energy. And someone who is comfortable with ambiguity and is used to multitasking is a must.

Join us and you’ll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You’ll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that’ll bring the best out in you. And you’ll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.
