• Supporting and motivating volunteer fundraisers, providing excellent stewardship throughout their journey
• 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 - £45,000 per annum
• Hybrid working 
• 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.
