The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
About the role
Since 2010 Positive Money has been raising awareness of the power, injustices, and impacts of our broken money and banking system - from inequality to climate change and unaffordable housing - and campaigning for and winning reform. Building and mobilising our supporter network with digital campaigns and donations is a central part of our strategy.
Reporting to our Head of Campaigns and Communications, this new role will grow, diversify, mobilise, and empower Positive Money’s supporter community, and build our individual giving programme, in order to achieve lasting systemic change. Regular donation drives, reactive petitions, viral videos, crowd-funded newspaper adverts, protests outside the Bank of England, hard-hitting emails that drive people to action - our toolbox is always growing and our willingness to experiment is strong. Our team is small but ambitious and we often work in coalition and collaboration with other organisations in the new economy movement. With an e-mailing list of over 20,000, and a following of ~150,000 across social channels, this is an exciting time to join the Positive Money team and take our campaigns and individual giving work to the next level.
About you
This is an opportunity for an individual giving fundraiser and campaigner with experience running individual giving programmes and creating donation journeys, alongside experience and/or interest in running digital actions to mobilise the public with people-powered campaigns that have impact. You don’t need a background in or knowledge of money, banking or finance, but rather a passion for empowering people to radically change our economic system towards our values, a strategic approach and learning mindset, experience of digital fundraising and content creation, strong communication, and project management skills.
You understand that the financial system is rooted in a wider system of structural inequalities, oppression, power imbalances and ideologies; that systems change is complex and multi-faceted, and absolutely necessary to achieve our vision. You will be excited to try out new strategies and tactics to run fundraisers and campaigns that stand out from the crowd. You share our commitment to an inclusive and diverse team, and our culture of being open-minded, ambitious, respectful and self-aware.

SARSAS exists to relieve the trauma and distress, and help rebuild the lives, of survivors who live in Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and BANES, who have experienced any form of sexual violence, at any point in their lives.
We deliver a range of support, including, but not limited to, a helpline, online web chat, self-help resources, counselling, specialist support work, drop-in services and group work.
Survivors tell us that we not only change their lives, but for some people we save them: “This work even though it was extremely hard, has helped me change my life. What you do for people is amazing and I cannot thank you all enough. I still have a long way to go but now I’m looking forward to life a little more.” – Specialist Support Work Client.
SARSAS also campaigns and raises awareness about rape and sexual violence to change the narrative about sexual violence and enable survivor’s voices to be heard. Partnership work with a range of agencies locally and nationally is a priority to enable social change.
SARSAS works to feminist principles: this underpins both what our service is and how it is run. Our work is guided by a trauma-informed approach which understands how traumatic experiences can impact on survivors and keeps an awareness of the effects of trauma at the forefront of our approach to support. We are a proudly trans-inclusive organisation, and our service is for anyone who may need us.
