Community & Individual Giving Fundraiser

Build the community of supporters who will sustain Palestine's first and only licensed palliative care service

Bethlehem Care & Hospice Trust (BCHT) is a small UK charity supporting the development of specialist palliative and hospice care in Palestine. In August 2023, the service we support became the first licensed palliative care service in Palestine. Since then, its specialist nurses have cared for more than 350 patients and their families and delivered more than 5,000 home visits.

We now need to build the community of supporters who will help secure that service for the future. We are investing in professional fundraising for the first time and are looking for an enthusiastic, relationship-focused Community & Individual Giving Fundraiser to help grow our supporter base, develop community fundraising and increase regular giving.

The opportunity

This is a new role with considerable freedom to shape how BCHT develops community and individual giving. Working closely with Trustees, patrons, volunteers and existing supporters, you will initially focus on Yorkshire and northern England, where BCHT already has networks on which to build.

You will develop relationships with churches, schools, universities, Rotary clubs, community organisations, businesses and individual supporters; help people fundraise for BCHT; develop regular giving; and ensure that our supporters feel connected to the extraordinary work they make possible. You will also help us develop a more systematic approach to supporter communications, digital fundraising, stewardship and volunteer engagement.

This role could be for you if you have experience of community fundraising, individual giving, supporter engagement, marketing or relationship management; are an excellent communicator and natural relationship-builder; enjoy meeting people and are confident speaking to groups; can develop ideas and turn them into practical fundraising activity; can work independently; and want the opportunity to build something rather than simply inherit an established fundraising programme.

Experience of community or individual fundraising, regular giving, working with volunteers, CRM systems, or church, school or faith-community fundraising would be particularly valuable.

You will need to be based in Yorkshire and able and willing to travel regularly throughout the region.

BCHT is inspired by Christian values of compassion, dignity and service. Applicants should be sympathetic to the values and mission of the charity. The palliative care service we support is provided to people regardless of faith, ethnicity, background or ability to pay.

What we offer: flexible home-based working; 25 days' annual leave plus UK public/bank holidays, pro rata; and a workplace pension scheme with a 5% employer contribution, subject to scheme rules. You will have considerable scope to shape BCHT's community fundraising programme from the outset and direct access to Trustees and supporters.

To apply, please submit your CV and a covering letter of no more than two pages explaining why you are interested in the role and how your experience meets its requirements. Please download the Recruitment Pack for further information.

About Gambling Harm UK

Gambling Harm UK (GHUK) is a lived-experience-led public health charity working to prevent and reduce gambling harm. Formerly Gambling Education Network, we are independent of the gambling industry and funded by public money, which we take seriously.

We are in Year 1 of a two-year national programme. Our two largest contracts are with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and NHS England, and we expect to add further contracts and grants as the charity grows. We are a small team where every role matters, and good financial management directly enables our mission.

The opportunity

This is a new post. You will be the person who keeps our finances accurate, our payments properly controlled, our contracts monitored and our funders confident that public money is being used well. You will report to the CEO, work day to day with the Director of Operations and our Bookkeeper, and have a direct line to the Treasurer and the Chair of our Audit & Risk Committee.

It is a hands-on role with real ownership of the numbers, the contracts and the controls. Two days a week is enough to do it well, and we are flexible about how those days are worked.

• Give the CEO and Director of Operations early warning of expiry and renewal dates

Bookkeeping assurance and controls

• Work with the Bookkeeper so every transaction is recorded and coded to the right fund, project or funder

• Monitor and report on restricted funds

• Maintain financial controls, procedures and audit trails, and support the annual independent examination

• Identify control weaknesses or irregularities and escalate them

Procurement and compliance

• Support procurement in line with our policies, including quotations and documentation

• Monitor supplier performance, spend and compliance

• Keep financial and contractual records complete, accurate and secure

• Support compliance with Charity Commission requirements and contribute to the risk register where finance or contract risks arise

What we are looking for

Essential

• Experience of financial administration, bookkeeping, management accounts or a similar finance role

• Experience of monitoring budgets and expenditure

• Good understanding of financial controls and procedures

• Experience of contract, grant or supplier management

• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with a high level of accuracy

• Well organised, able to work independently and manage competing deadlines

• Good written and verbal communication skills

• Confident with Microsoft Excel and standard office systems

Desirable

• Experience in a charity or not-for-profit organisation

• Knowledge of charity accounting, restricted funds and funder requirements

• Knowledge of Charity Commission requirements

• Experience of contract monitoring or commissioned services

• Experience of accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, and of online payment or expenses platforms such as Apron

• A finance or accountancy qualification, or working towards one

Personal qualities

• Trustworthy, professionally discreet and methodical

• Proactive in spotting problems, risks and opportunities

• Comfortable challenging spend or processes where needed

• Collaborative, and able to work well with the CEO, Director of Operations, Bookkeeper, Trustees, funders and partners

• Committed to value for money and sound stewardship of charitable resources
