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
Challenge Events at CoppaFeel! are going through a very exciting period of growth! Therefore, we are looking for a passionate new team member to take on the role of Challenge Events Assistant for our bespoke (CoppaFeel! led) challenge events.
The role of Challenge Events Assistant will sit within the CoppaFeel! Challenge Events team, in the Fundraising Department.
You will mostly work alongside our Bespoke Challenge Events Manager and another Challenge Events Assistant to support on CoppaFeel!’s Bespoke Challenge Events portfolio - consisting of our 5 flagship ‘CoppaTrek!’ events that will look to bring in over £2 million in 2025.
Whilst our trekking events will be your main focus, you may also have the opportunity to support our sporting events programme that includes iconic events such as the London Marathon, London Landmarks Half Marathon, Royal Parks Half Marathon and Hackney Half - to name but a few!
In this role, you will be the first point of contact for our CoppaTrek! participants, providing excellent supporter experience and building relationships whilst offering motivation and fundraising advice. Alongside delivering outstanding supporter care, you will also handle essential administrative tasks to ensure the smooth running of our day-to-day operations and so that our events go off without a hitch.
This role does require some evening and weekend work - although not behind the laptop! Instead you’ll be lacing up your hiking boots, and walking and talking alongside our CoppaTrek! participants. Therefore, please bear in mind that as part of this role, you will be expected to travel and may have to stay away from home on occasion. Should you be required to work on weekends, you will be entitled to time off in lieu.
This is a hybrid role, with the expectation that you will attend the London office at least 2 days per week. You will also be required to attend the office for quarterly team meetings, department meetings and in person training. We will provide plenty of notice for when you are required to be in for these purposes
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone to join our growing fundraising team and get invaluable experience within the charity events sector - all whilst helping to shape the future of CoppaFeel!’s challenge events offering! You'll be at the forefront of our mission to educate and empower young people about the importance of early detection of breast cancer, and therefore we are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate person, who thrives in a busy environment.
