We are Norfolk’s charity for people living with sight loss and visual impairment. Providing practical and emotional support at our hubs in Norwich, King’s Lynn and Great Yarmouth and in hospitals across Norfolk. Together with social and well-being activities for adults and children, young people and their families, daily living equipment, befriending services and specialist housing, we help those affected by sight loss to live life fully.

About the role

We are looking for a real team player who will work to integrate community fundraising and social media marketing into our volunteers and events teams.

This is a multi-tasking role and an ability to prioritise and organise a busy workload is essential. The two sides to the role (community fundraising & communications) are interlinked and there is an expectation to develop this in the role. A can-do attitude is more important to us than a long history of marketing experience, as on-going training and support will be provided.

Vision Norfolk (previously the Norfolk and Norwich Association for the Blind) is going through a period of organisational change, which means the successful candidate will have room for growth and development in this role.

The ideal candidate will have:

· Experience of forging partnerships with companies, clubs or groups, from prospect researching through to pitching

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to develop compelling partnership proposals

· A real passion for team working and collaboration to drive results

· Meticulous attention to detail and data management to drive a new supporter pipeline

· A real passion for working in public fundraising and delivering engaging and inspiring supporter experiences

· Have an excellent knowledge of the best content for different social platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube and a passion for emerging platforms and audiences

· DBS check required at Enhanced level

Please submit a covering letter (no longer than 2 x A4) along with your most recent CV. Please clearly address the points in the person specification with examples in your application.

36% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Innovations for Learning (IFL) is a charity focused on using technology to close this literacy gap through a unique online reading support programme called TutorMate. 

About Innovations for Learning

Innovations for Learning (IfL) is a small but growing charity, which is working to ensure that every child in the UK acquires the literacy skills they need for their to thrive and fulfil their potential. Many children fall behind with reading simply because they lack the opportunity to practise. TutorMate addresses this problem by using a bespoke internet platform to pair volunteer tutors from corporate organisations with struggling pupils. TutorMate has been proven to improve the literacy outcomes, confidence and reading enjoyment of young children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our model is to partner with local and national businesses which recruit their own employees as volunteer readers and provide funding for the programme. TutorMate pairs struggling children (5- to 7-year-olds) with adult volunteers who use a bespoke internet platform and a voice connection to link – from their workplace or home – to a dedicated classroom laptop for 30 minutes a week, during the school day, over an entire academic year.  Up to ten children in each Year 1 or Year 2 class participate, giving the programme a reach and scale that no school is able to achieve with parent or community volunteers.

We have set ourselves an ambitious target of supporting 4,000 children by 2024. By securing 25% of our income from trusts and foundations,  this role will be pivotal in ensuring we meet this target.

About the role

IFL is seeking a highly motivated, proactive Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser to create creative, compelling and impactful bids. You’ll be a passionate, entrepreneurial fundraising professional who can get ‘under the skin’ of our work and is keen to make your mark in a fast-growing organisation.
