Short Job Description

The fundraising manager and fundraising officer make up the fundraising team at Stockdales. They work closely together to make sure all aspects of fundraising are covered successfully: individual supporters, fundraising volunteers, community groups, companies, charitable trusts/foundations and events.

As our fundraising officer, you will enjoy a varied, exciting role, with no two days the same! Your responsibilities will include all aspects of the fundraising administration, managing small scale community events, raising awareness of the organisation locally, putting the content together for our website, social media pages and newsletters (currently 3 times per year) as well as making sure our supporters have a high quality experience.

You’ll need to be a good all-rounder, think on your feet and work independently and flexible because there will be some evening and weekend work. You’ll also have a flair for creative writing as you will be putting interesting stories together for our newsletters and punchy posts for social media. A ‘head for numbers’, an eye for detail and strong problem solving skills and IT skills are also needed.

Excellent people skills are a must. In this role you will meet all sorts of people from many walks of life, so you will need to be confident and a good communicator. The fundraising team is in regular contact with the people we support too. This might be whilst taking photos, showing supporters round or simply dropping in to say hello. We support people of all abilities, some with severe learning disabilities and complex health needs. It is essential you are comfortable with this.

This is a thoroughly rewarding role for the right person. You might already come from a fundraising background or you may have all of the transferrable skills needed to make this your move into the charity sector. Whichever, if this is you, then we’d love to hear from you!
