Either way, if you want to build your skills while contributing to urgent and meaningful human rights work, we want to hear from you. Depending on your experience, we will appoint at Fundraising Officer or Senior Fundraising Officer level.
About Free Tibet and Tibet Watch:

Behind closed borders, injustice thrives. We break them open with facts and campaigns. Tibet Watch exposes the truth from inside occupied Tibet through evidence and world-leading research. Free Tibet turns that truth into action, with hard-hitting campaigns and relentless advocacy that make the world pay attention. Together, we’re building a global movement that’s impossible to ignore.

About CoppaFeel!
CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We educate people on the signs of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests monthly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves.
We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives.
Breast cancer does not need to be detected late, and as long as we are here and continue to be supported by people like you, we will do all we can to make sure this doesn’t continue to happen.
The Role
This Corporate Partnerships Manager role plays an essential role in helping the Fundraising Team achieve our ambitious income target, as the role will primarily support the planning, development and delivery of our hugely successful partnership with Asda Tickled Pink.
