JOB DESCRIPTION
Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice has been on a major upward trajectory in recent years, supporting more children, partnering with more major hospitals and raising more funds. Our Major Donor and Trust programmes have been particularly successful. We are now transforming our approach to supporter engagement in order to diversify the charity’s fundraising income and help Noah’s Ark reach its ambitious strategic objectives.

As well as playing a lead delivery role, the Supporter Engagement Manager will be very involved in strategy development – working alongside other key team members to make decisions on direction of travel .
The successful candidate will manage and develop our Supporter Engagement Officer and Community Engagement Officer - both have their own portfolio of supporters and the former is responsible for the day-to-day management of our database.
ABOUT YOU
Most importantly, we are looking for somebody with the right mindset. You’ll be hungry and enthusiastic when it comes to your career, and looking for a charity which can support you in pushing forward in a busy and responsible role. We are a very supportive and colloborative team, so a track record of coming to work with a ‘can-do’ attitude and ability to develop constructive and positive relationships will be key.

- have a keen eye for detail and experience of using data insights from a fundraising database to inform decision-making.
- ideally have significant experience in supporter care and retention but the salary range is wide, so if you are less experienced but have a track record of high achievement in your career so far and back yourself to develop quickly in areas outside of your comfort zone, please do apply and we will consider your application on its merits.
- have confidence in your ability to upskill in community group fundraising and legacy giving, should these not currentluy be areas of focus for you
- preferably have excellent writing skills (this a strong desirable, rather than an essential criteria)

Closing date: 7 July 2022 at 11.30 pm
Do you have proven fundraising experience, a passion for proactive Community Fundraising and a real desire to be part of Shelter’s campaign against homelessness and for social justice? Then join us as Community Fundraising Area Manager and you could soon be playing an important role at the heart of our Community & Events team.
About Shelter Scotland
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet over a million people in Scotland struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
At Shelter Scotland we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.
We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter Scotland and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.
About the team
Community & Events is made up of Community Fundraising, Challenge & Bespoke Events and Culture, Entertainment & Sports sub-teams. Together, we look after a wide variety of fundraising activities that encourage supporters to raise money and provide them with excellent support to do so. We’ve made a significant investment in Community Fundraising to grow the team from five in 2019 to 24 currently, despite the pandemic. That’s because increasing engagement in local communities is a central part of both our fundraising and organisational strategy. We now have 12 Regional Fundraisers across England and Scotland; a central Community Fundraising National Relationships team and a robust and supportive management team which, should you join us, you’ll be part of.
About the role
An exciting opportunity with lots of existing and new avenues to explore, you’ll have every chance to really make your mark. That’s because, we have a strategy in place, but there’s still lots to do - and you‘ll be key in developing what we do and how we do it, as well as leading direct reports and the wider team to deliver on your plans. One of your main challenges will be to develop an overarching Community Fundraising team strategy to ensure a clear plan of projected growth and agreed objectives over the next five years. We’ll also look to you to significantly increase Community Fundraising income by enabling the team to proactively engage key audiences and improve the supporter stewardship experience. Creating and delivering an annual budget, taking the lead role for key income streams or activities, helping to create new fundraising products and engaging and influencing key stakeholders – these are just some aspects of this interesting, varied and vital role.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
About you
To succeed, you’ll need to be creative, innovative and able to learn from failure as much as from success. The opportunity to lead, support, coach and empower a team to get out there and achieve success really appeals to you too. You’re also a great believer in putting the supporter experience at the heart of everything you do and eager to engage new and diverse audiences and build authentic relationships – both externally and internally. Adept at influencing and negotiating and great at carrying out detailed analysis or making data-driven decisions, you’re also resilient and, crucially, keen to create a strong, supportive and aspirational culture where the team are motivated by exceeding targets.
Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
