Ready to take on a role where your work supports a meaningful cause?

We’re partnering with a well-established national charity to recruit a Fundraising Compliance Officer for a short-term assignment during a critical period for the team. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to ethical fundraising, protect supporter trust, and support high-quality, compliant communications.

The Organisation

This purpose-led organisation is committed to supporting individuals affected by serious health conditions while driving forward life-changing research and services. Their work reaches thousands of people across the UK, and they place a strong emphasis on integrity, transparency and supporter experience.

The Role

You’ll join a small, collaborative compliance function, working closely with colleagues across fundraising, data and legal teams. This is a hands-on role with a mix of operational delivery and process improvement.

You will play a key role in helping the organisation maintain high standards of compliance across all fundraising activity.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing and triaging a busy compliance inbox, ensuring queries are responded to or escalated effectively
• Reviewing fundraising and marketing communications to ensure compliance with internal policies, data protection legislation and the fundraising code of practice
• Supporting GDPR and consent management processes, including maintaining records and reviewing documentation
• Assisting with the review of legitimate interest assessments and consent frameworks
• Monitoring third-party fundraising activity, including reviewing call recordings and identifying any compliance risks
• Supporting the production of complaints reports and analysis, providing insight to improve processes and supporter experience
• Contributing to the development of guidance and internal resources to strengthen compliance practices

• A strong understanding of consent and communication preferences
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage a range of stakeholders
• High attention to detail and the ability to identify risks and recommend improvements

Experience within the charity, public sector, regulatory or membership environment would be beneficial, but is not essential.
