Our Supporter Care Assistant plays a pivotal role at War Child as the first point of contact for many of our supporters and the general public. We’re looking for someone who is ambitious, proactive and passionate about fundraising: someone who believes in creating a personal and rewarding experience for the UK public to make a difference to the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children. If you are a confident, friendly and empathetic individual who is passionate about great customer care, and building strong, loyal relationships, we want to hear from you!

Part of the Supporter Engagement Department but working across the organisation and the wider War Child family, you’ll be joining a team which prides itself on innovation and collaboration in order to inspire our fundraisers and supporters. The Supporter Care Assistant deals with a wide range of fundraising enquiries through phone, email and post: this is a varied role where no two days are the same. You’ll be supporting our vital work by providing timely, compassionate and appropriate communications, as well as ensuring efficient administration of donations and maintenance of accurate database records.

You will also support the smooth day-to-day running of the office, by assisting in maintaining a welcoming and efficient environment for staff and visitors.

We’ll need you to be able to work on a Monday, as it’s our busiest day in the team. A regular on-site presence is essential too as managing the incoming post and attending the office are core parts of the role, so we’ll need you to be based in our London office for a minimum of two days spread across the week. You can work remotely on other days if you choose and we are happy to consider other flexible working arrangements.

Below are some of the experiences and qualities we’re looking for. You can read the full job advert on our careers site.

• Experienced in delivering high-quality customer or supporter care that informs, motivates and inspires others; charity/NGO sector experience would be an advantage but not essential to be considered for this role.
• A natural people-person, who is friendly, empathetic, and enjoys communicating with supporters over the phone and in writing. 
• Experienced in carrying out administration tasks and processes, with good knowledge of Microsoft Office.
• Highly organised and with a ‘can do’ attitude, proactively looking for ways to improve the support on offer.
• A flexible and diligent team player, able to work under your own initiative, take instructions from others, and go the extra mile to service supporter needs.
• Strong and proactive in your approach to managing your own workload, able to work to tight deadlines and multitask at short notice in a busy environment.
• Experienced in using CRM databases to record information promptly and accurately.
