• Identifying new opportunities within local communities, networks and organisations
• Delivering and supporting a programme of community-led fundraising activity and events

You’ll likely bring:

• Experience in community, regional or relationship-based fundraising
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences
• A proactive and creative approach to generating and developing fundraising opportunities
• Confidence managing multiple relationships and priorities at once
• Experience using a CRM or fundraising database
• A flexible approach, with occasional out-of-hours or event work

What’s on offer

• Salary of £40,000 per annum
• Hybrid working with 3 days per week in the office
• North London as your main base
• A supportive, values-led working culture
• The opportunity to play a visible role in strengthening community engagement and supporter relationships

This is an exciting opportunity for a fundraiser who believes that strong communities create lasting change, and who wants a role with real autonomy, variety and purpose.

What could my day look like?

The Education Worker role is a frontline, fast-paced and rewarding role where no two weeks will look the same. A typical day will have different activities, possibly spread between the IntoUniversity centre, partner schools and the offices of a corporate partner.

In the morning, you might be setting off with resources to run a workshop for sixth-form students in their secondary school. In the afternoon you may be setting up the classroom ahead of running Primary Academic Support for young people in your IntoUniversity centre. On other days, you may be travelling to a corporate partner to run a business simulation workshop for 15 year-olds or leading a group of final year primary school students on a campus visit for their graduation.

As an Education Worker, you’ll always be delivering the programme as part of your centre team, which means that any delivery is always a team effort.
