This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing charity at a crucial stage in its development. As part of our team, you’ll help shape how we fund projects, communicate their impact, and uncover unmet needs that will inform future fundraising appeals and strategic priorities.
We’re looking for someone who is flexible, proactive, and ready to get involved in a variety of tasks. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and can confidently juggle multiple priorities, we would love to hear from you.
