Harris Hill is currently working with Coventry Cyrenians in their search for an interim Fundraising Manager for 6 months.

Ideally, the successful candidate would be able to travel to the office at least 1-2dpw.

The Coventry Cyrenians are a housing charity who provide supported, temporary, Independent and family accommodation to those who most need it. They have recently had someone leave, so this role is interim cover with potential to go permanent.
Much of their income comes from the housing schemes themselves so are financially stable. However, their fundraising income sit at around 100k and seek to increase this to between 150-250k. This need not be cash money as they would very much welcome corporate volunteers or non monetary donations for the community side of their work.

Whilst they would like someone with a broad spectrum of fundraising experience such as corporate, Trust, Major Donor and Events, the current emphasis would be corporate with additional marketing experience.

They understand that having someone this broad would be difficult, so if you are available and tick any of the boxes, the Cyrenians would like to hear form you.
