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.

The two sides to the role (community fundraising & communications) are interlinked and there is an expectation to develop this in the role.

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

Campaign Officer Grad Scheme – Educational Fundraising

£20k rising to £22k after 4-6 months

Another rise to £25,500 with £1,500 bonus pay-out after 6 telethons

A further £3,500 bonus pay-out on completion of the scheme (12 telethons)

We are looking for graduates or candidates seeking a training programme to join us on our two and a half year Graduate/Training Scheme which offers high quality training, competitive salary and excellent benefits.

Buffalo is one of the leading telephone fundraising consultancies in the country with our core business being in the Education charity sector and Arts charities. We are a renowned employer of graduates and have an established training programme in place to ensure that all new herd members receive top quality training on every aspect of the role. This role can also be offered in exactly the same format as a Training Scheme to non-graduates looking for a full time position.

We are seeking a new Trainee Campaign Officer to join the herd. You would take on the responsibilities of project managing fundraising campaigns for educational charities from start to finish and being the main point of contact for the client throughout. This is a widely varied role with duties ranging from recruiting and training large numbers of fundraising callers to daily office administration and database work and attending client meetings.

You will need to be confident enough to present to groups of up to 50 students (either in the flesh or on Zoom) but also enjoy office based work.  You may have had previous experience as a charity fundraising caller and are looking to progress this further, or you might be looking for a project management role which will teach you a wide variety of transferable skills while raising money for good causes.

Before covid, you would have expected to be away from home for 15-17 weeks per year as our telethons traditionally take place on site at our clients’ institutions. As things currently stand, we are running most of our campaigns remotely with staff members managing the calling sessions from home or the office. It is difficult to predict the future, but you would need to expect a mix of remote and onsite telethons, so it would be good if you are happy with both of these aspects of the job role.

Away from telethons most of your training will need to take place in our friendly Bristol office where we have such benefits as flexible working hours and smart/casual dress. All of the preparation and wrap up work for your telethons would be office based tasks as well, and we are currently offering hybrid working. We are a sociable bunch will be delighted to have another herd member to join in with our lunches, drinks and other social occasions!

In return for your hard work Buffalo offers a starting salary of £20,000 which will increase to £22,000 following the successful completion of our four to six month training programme, with another rise to £25,500 the following year along with a £1,500 bonus pay-out after 6 telethons, and a further £3,500 bonus pay-out on completion of the scheme (12 telethons).

Our grad scheme benefits include a subsistence package worth over £1,000 a year, 20 days holiday plus the opportunity to earn on average an additional 24 lieu days for weekend working, flexible working hours, weekend travel bonus, workplace pension, cycle to work scheme and regular staff social events and charity fundraisers.

This is a fixed term two and a half year scheme, after which we will assist you with achieving your future career plans. You would be in a good position to apply for a senior role with Buffalo, should one be available at the time, as most of our senior positions are taken on by previous Campaign Officers.

We at Buffalo are passionate about diversity and inclusivity, and are striving to become a company which represents the diversity of the world as whole. We welcome applications from all and are an equal opportunities employer.
