About BTS Spark

Our mission at BTS Spark is bring that expertise to help education and non-profit leaders do their best work, building stronger organisations and a better world.

We provide expert 1:1 leadership coaching, powerful group experiences and bespoke team and organisational development programmes, all designed to enable profound and highly impactful learning. To date we have worked primarily with schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts, but we are now actively seeking to grow our work within higher education and the non-profit sector.  Whilst most of the work delivered by our UK hub is with UK-based organisations, we also deliver programmes elsewhere in Europe and manage several international programmes.

Our UK core team is small — just our Director and our Programme Manager — supported by wider BTS colleagues, our global BTS Spark team and a network of 30+ UK-based coaches and facilitators.

Job Description 

Working closely with our UK Director, but with a significant degree of independence, you'll support almost every part of our UK operations:

• Set up and launch coaching and leadership programmes on our digital platforms, and use Claude and other AI tools to speed up routine tasks like data entry, reporting and client updates
• Act as a trusted first point of contact for clients, managing relationships, delivering briefings and platform demos, and preparing data-led impact reports
• Handle new enquiries, follow through with quotations and information, and support business development and proposal writing with the Director
• Help grow our profile — co-ordinating social media content (particularly LinkedIn), updating our website, building landing pages, and supporting our alumni and marketing campaigns
• Forecast income, keep our financial systems up to date, and manage letters of engagement, purchase orders and invoicing requests.
• Provide occasional live support for virtual workshops, and executive assistant support to the Director

The balance of your week will shift through the year, with programme launches taking priority at times and more space for development work during school holidays. A key priority is to make full use of our AI capability (especially Claude) to speed up our processes and free up more time for the relationship-building and engagement work that matters most. This is something we’ll support you to build into your working practice from day one.

We're looking for candidates with the following attributes:

Essential:

• A strong, sustained track record in programme planning and project/operations management
• Confidence managing relationships with senior education and non-profit leaders, with excellent, professional customer service skills
• Excellent written communication and proof-reading skills, with sharp attention to detail
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise across multiple workstreams
• A proactive, can-do attitude and comfort working independently
• Strong financial literacy and experience with CRM/database systems (e.g. Salesforce, Hubspot)
• Enthusiasm for digital tools and AI assistants, and intermediate Microsoft Office skills
• Flexibility for occasional calls outside business hours with North America and Australia-based colleagues

Desirable:

• Experience working in or closely with the education sector
• University graduate-level education

Benefits

• 25 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays and a Christmas–New Year office closure
• 5% matched pension and life insurance
• Private medical insurance
• Free access to a wellness coach and healthcare app (video GP appointments, mental health and nutritional consultations)
• Cycle to work scheme

Our grants run alongside learning programmes, challenging and supporting leaders. We’re innovative in how we do this, through both traditional and enterprise grants. We lead on Match Trading™, a grant that challenges leaders to grow their trading income, and we are working on further grants innovations.

Could you be our new Fundraising and Events Coordinator at Destitute Animals Shelter?

We're looking for someone who not only loves and cares for animals but is also resilient and resourceful in dealing with humans! If you're the sort of person who isn't afraid to develop and try out new and creative ideas to put us out into the community, but who is also well experienced in raising funds and running events that make a real financial and social impact, this could be the role for you.

This is a brand-new position within our Shelter's small team of dedicated staff and volunteers. Everything we do is in service of our mission to Rescue, Love, Repeat, taking in animals who have nowhere else to go, giving them the care they need, and finding them the homes they deserve. You'll report to the Chair of our Fundraising and Promotion Committee and work closely with our Operations Manager, with strategy and support offered throughout. Your role will be operational, with a focus on delivery and community engagement, and you'll be encouraged to make your own mark on it as we grow.

Destitute Animals Shelter has developed a Fundraising Strategy for 2025 – 27, and we're looking to diversify our income streams to make sure we're hitting the financial targets that cover the rising costs of the good work we do daily at our Shelter. With support from the Committee, you'll help shape that strategy as well as deliver against it.

What You'll Be Doing

Fundraising:

• Support the delivery of the DAS fundraising strategy and income targets.
• Build and maintain positive relationships with individual supporters, local businesses, community groups and donors.
• Research and identify new fundraising opportunities, grants, sponsorships and community partnerships.
• Organise and promote fundraising campaigns, appeals and supporter initiatives.
• Encourage regular giving, sponsorship and community-led fundraising.
• Keep accurate records of donations and supporter information, and make sure all activity complies with relevant legislation, GDPR and charity best practice.

Events:

• Plan, organise and deliver fundraising and awareness events throughout the year.
• Coordinate the logistics – venues, volunteers, suppliers, sponsorship and promotional materials.
• Represent the charity at community events, talks, open days and networking opportunities.
• Support the volunteers involved and evaluate each event so we keep improving.

Community and Promotion:

• Help raise the profile of the charity across the Bolton area.
• Build relationships with local media, schools, businesses and community organisations.
• Work with colleagues and volunteers to create engaging fundraising and promotional content, and promote our mission, values and rescue work in a positive, professional way.

Administration:

• Maintain fundraising databases, records and financial information accurately.
• Help prepare and distribute fundraising materials and communications.
• Keep an eye on stock levels of fundraising merchandise and promotional items.
• Support reporting on fundraising income, expenditure and event outcomes.

Is This You?

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Experience of organising events, fundraising activities or community engagement initiatives.
• A track record of building positive relationships with supporters, customers, volunteers or community groups.
• Experience of working towards targets and deadlines.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and email systems.
• Experience of managing social media or promotional campaigns.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong organisation and time management, and the confidence to work independently and use your initiative.
• GCSEs (Grade A – C) or equivalent in English and Mathematics.

It would be a bonus if you also had a relevant qualification in fundraising, marketing, events or business administration, experience in the charity or animal welfare sector, knowledge of fundraising regulations, or experience using CRM or donor databases.

Above all, we're looking for someone with a genuine passion for animal welfare, an enthusiastic and proactive attitude, and a calm, friendly, can-do manner under pressure. You'll be reliable, professional and trustworthy, a natural team player who genuinely enjoys supporting volunteers, and someone with the emotional intelligence to read the needs of others and the self-awareness to keep growing in the role.

A couple of practical points: You'll need to be a car driver with a full, clean driving licence, and you'll need to be willing to work the occasional evening and weekend to support events and fundraising activities.
