You will steward third party supporters in the North East and Yorkshire, thanking them for their hard work, offering help with their fundraising endeavours, and strengthening existing relationships, and creating new ones.

As a regional fundraiser you will help identify and develop corporate partnerships across the region.

You will work as part of a team on our core events in the North, and help with the ever changing landscape of fundraising events to ensure that we reach our targets per annum.

In return we offer you flexible working, generous annual leave entitlement, employee assistance programme and a childcare voucher scheme. We have strong, positive values and friendly culture where we support you in developing your career aspirations.
