Overview:
Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula Support (TOFS) is the only UK charity providing support and information to born with oesophageal atresia and/or tracheo-oesophageal fistula (OA/TOF). These rare congenital conditions can have long-lasting consequences, and our mission is to inform and empower those affected to better equip them to live long and healthy lives. We get no statutory funding, and we’re very fortunate to have an amazing fundraising community. This year to date, almost 80% of our income was from members’ fundraising, which is incredible.
We need an office and fundraising administrator who will help make every supporter feel valued, and have overall responsibility for entering all financial data into QuickBooks. A key part of the role is liaising with fundraisers and administrating and facilitating the fundraising process.
We are looking for an experienced individual, who can work with little supervision, and is able to manage workload to meet reporting deadlines. Reporting to the CEO (and with significant interaction with the volunteer Treasurer), the office and fundraising administrator undertakes a range of administration and finance tasks to support office management, financial management and fundraising, and is one of the first points of contact for our supporters and members.
The role is pivotal in ensuring that our administrative and fundraising functions run smoothly, supporting fundraisers, members, trustees and team effectively.
Knowledge of QuickBooks or a similar accounting software system is essential.
Depending on the experience and interest of the successful candidate there may be opportunities to develop other skill sets.
