If you're a driven individual giving professional looking for a role with real strategic weight, and a cause that will genuinely move you, this is could be the perfect next role for you.

The Gurkha Welfare Trust has supported Gurkha veterans and their families in Nepal for nearly 60 years. Gurkhas have served in the British Army for more than 200 years as soldiers of extraordinary courage and loyalty. When their service ends, we make sure they are not forgotten. We deliver financial aid, medical support, clean water, education and housing through 21 Area Welfare Centres in Nepal and India.

Our UK fundraising team is based in Salisbury, and this is a key role within it.

The opportunity

You will lead the Trust's acquisition programme; growing our donor base across direct mail, digital, telephone and mid-value channels. This is not a delivery-only role. You will shape strategy, manage agency relationships, own the new donor welcome journey, and work closely with the Individual Giving Manager (Stewardship) to ensure every new supporter is set up for a long-term relationship with us.

There is also something this role offers that very few can: the chance to visit Nepal and see, first-hand, the difference your fundraising makes.

What you will be doing

• Developing and implementing acquisition strategy
• Delivering integrated multi-channel campaigns
• Managing the conversion of one-off donors to regular givers
• Developing and owning the new donor welcome journey
• Monitoring campaign performance, collaborating with creative agencies, and continually testing and refining to optimise results
• Managing income and expenditure budgets with support from the Head of Fundraising
• Working with the Legacy Administration team on legacy marketing for new and existing donors
• Ensuring all campaigns comply with GDPR, Gift Aid and data protection requirements

What we're looking for

• A proven track record in individual giving or direct marketing; hitting targets, managing budgets, delivering campaigns
• Experience across omnichannel acquisition: mail, digital, telephone
• Strong analytical instincts; you use data to make decisions, not just report on them
• Good creative judgement and confidence working with external agencies
• Solid knowledge of GDPR and Gift Aid in a fundraising context
• A collaborative, can-do approach and genuine commitment to the cause

What's on offer

• £40,000 - £43,000 depending on experience
• Up to 10% employer pension contribution
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
• Trips to Nepal to see the Trust's work first-hand
• Hybrid working from our Salisbury office
• 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, EAP, free parking

Location: Salisbury, Wiltshire (hybrid)

Salary: £40,000 - £43,000 depending on experience

Contract: Permanent

Deadline: Midday, Monday 13 July 2026

Ready to apply?

Formal application is via CV and supporting statement (max 1 page) outlining why you are interested in this role and how you fit the person specification.

In the first instance, please send your CV to Philippa at Charity People - - if your CV matches what we're looking for we'll be in touch with the full candidate pack and lots more details.

Our new five-year See Me project, funded through a long-term grant, allows us to expand our work across Northern Devon, particularly for migrants, refugees, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others facing social or geographic isolation. The project strengthens connections through ESOL English classes, safe spaces, social opportunities, and advocacy, while working with local authorities, partners, and volunteers to embed inclusion across services and community life. Joining Sunrise means contributing to a team that helps people connect, grow, and belong, making rural communities more equitable, welcoming, and supportive for everyone.

You will provide support relating to issues such as housing, benefits, employment, hate crime reporting, safeguarding concerns and accessing rights and entitlements. 

Why Join Us?

• A flexible hybrid working model
• A supportive, inclusive and values driven culture
• A chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of local diverse individuals

We provide inclusive services to individuals of all faiths and none, without prejudice or discrimination.

Each year, we support several hundred students through our free, weekly English classes, welcoming learners from over 40 nationalities. Our work is made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers, whose commitment is essential to delivering our services. In partnership with local churches, we provide a safe and supportive environment to learn English and understand local culture, alongside a wide range of activities that build confidence, strengthen community connections, and promote health, well-being, and integration.

The ‘+’ represents the additional support we offer to help students successfully navigate life in the UK, much of which is delivered in collaboration with a strong network of other service providers across Norfolk. As a small, local charity, we are agile and responsive- able to quickly adapt our lessons, courses, and services to meet the evolving needs of those we serve.

As Finance and Operations Manager, you will play a central role in our organisation- contributing to strategic decision-making while enabling frontline staff to deliver high-quality services.

This role is for you if you have:

• Excellent financial, administrative, and organisational skills, and are a self-motivated, highly organised team player who can manage your workload independently with minimal supervision.
• The ability to be flexible and adaptable, maintaining a caring yet professional approach, thinking creatively under pressure, and responding calmly to unexpected changes.
