We are looking for an enthusiastic, fun and innovative Events and Community Fundraising Officer who will continue developing the Trust’s events calendar and cultivate long term relationships with our community fundraisers.

The Multiple System Atrophy Trust (MSA Trust) is the UK and Eire’s leading national charity offering vital support to people affected by MSA – a terminal neurodegenerative disease. We are entirely funded through voluntary income, around a third of which comes from Events and Community. Most of our fundraisers are already familiar with our cause, and just need guidance and stewardship to maximise their efforts, ensure they feel appreciated and enable us to retain their support.

Reporting to our Senior Fundraising Manager this role will be ideal if you:

• Have experience of supporter care and stewardship in the voluntary sector
• Are looking for a chance to use your creativity and enthusiasm to develop initiatives allowing a good degree of autonomy
• Have an interest in sports and community events
• Are looking for your next step on the ladder and want to learn about the complete supporter journey in a dynamic, friendly and growing charity.

With plenty of scope for personal development through on-the-job learning opportunities as well as more formalised training and development, this role provides a unique opportunity to harness the power of fund and awareness raising to support more people with MSA.

We are a small friendly team at our London office so we are looking for a person who can fit in well and be prepared to go the extra mile.

The role requires some occasional travelling around the UK to our various fundraising events and Support Groups, but own transportation is not needed.

There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1.1 million by 2021, and 2 million by 2050.

Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse services. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them, giving the one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions people need. The unique dementia expertise and experience an Admiral Nurse brings is a lifeline - it helps everyone in the family to live more positively with dementia in the present, and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.

Our Admiral Nurses work with families across the country, face-to-face, in the community, in hospitals, care homes, hospices and other care providers. Admiral Nurses are reaching more families than ever before – but there’s a long way to go until everyone who needs this support can receive it. For those we can’t yet reach in person, the Admiral Nurse Dementia Helpline provides support at the end of the phone and on email seven days a week.

It's a really significant time for Community and Events Fundraising at the organisation as we are a key part of a rapidly growing charity, raising a significant portion of the overall income. We offer a supportive environment across the team and organisation, and plenty of opportunity for development and training. This role is a good opportunity for someone motivated and enthusiastic who wants to join a growing charity and start or develop their career in Community Fundraising.
