We are adding to our team as we’ve had a very successful fundraising year, due to our supporters knowing that the mental health of young people is so important. We hope you do too and want to be part of that change.

This role will be a part of our Supporter Engagement team. We deal directly with our fantastic supporters who run marathons, take part in events in their community and on Facebook and create hundreds of other ways to fundraise. As well as all of that, we lead on YoungMinds’ key fundraising campaigns such as #HelloYellow.

We speak to people every day to help, support and encourage them and make sure they have everything they need to make their fundraising a success.

If you are organised, enjoy interacting with people (in person, over the phone and via email) and love the prospect of a role that is different every day and needs your creativity to craft meaningful ways of engaging with our varied supporter audiences, then this may be for you.
