Purpose
To support all areas of our fundraising team, providing administrative support and acting as the first point of contact for fundraising enquiries.
About the role
The Fundraising Assistant provides support across all areas of the fundraising team, assisting with operational and administrative requirements and acting as the first point of contact for the fundraising team.
We are looking for a highly organised, personable and conscientious team member with excellent administrative skills. You will manage a varied workload, be comfortable working autonomously and act as the database champion for the team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading mental health charity and play a vital role in a small but ambitious fundraising team.
About the Trust
The Charlie Waller Trust was created by the Waller family in 1997 in response to the loss of their son and brother Charlie who tragically took his own life whilst suffering from depression. We have since become one of the UK’s most respected mental health charities.
Our overarching mission is to educate young people and those with responsibility for them - parents and carers, teachers, college and university staff and employers - about their mental health and wellbeing.
We aim to improve their understanding of mental health, to give them the knowledge and skills to look out for and support themselves and those around them, and to give them greater confidence in talking openly about the subject.
The Charlie Waller Trust is a great place to work, with a small, employed team and over 40 freelance mental health trainers, speakers and experts.
About our team
This role sits within our small but effective fundraising team, reporting to the Head of Fundraising. We are a dedicated and friendly team, passionate about raising funds to help support and educate young people in looking after their mental health. Our personal approach to fundraising is key to our success and we strive to deliver a positive supporter experience.
The Charlie Waller Trust is a great place to work. We care about mental health and wellbeing in our team and have a positive, enabling workplace culture. Our values drive our work:
- Warm: Positive personal connections are central to mental health; we aim to reflect that in all our relationships with beneficiaries, supporters, staff and volunteers.
- Empowering: We support all those we work with, and who work for us, to use their minds, hearts, energy and creativity to fulfil their potential.
- Collaborative: Partnership and cooperation are at the core of our work; we seek the views of those we wish to support and aim to put them at the centre of our activity.
- Compassionate: We recognise vulnerability in ourselves and others, especially where there is more than one reason people may be vulnerable to mental health problems, discrimination or inequality.
- Open: We believe in being honest about the way we work, our aspirations and where we need to improve; openness and good communication are key to good mental health.
Equity and Inclusion
At the Charlie Waller Trust we strive to cultivate a positive, exciting work environment where all staff can enjoy a rewarding role and career.
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and ensuring that our staff represent the communities we aim to support. We actively utilise positive action as set out in the Equalities Act 2010 to ensure we attract and recruit candidates from backgrounds and groups that are currently underrepresented in our workforce. We therefore particularly encourage applications from men and those from Black, Asian and minoritised backgrounds.
When we recruit, we will ask all shortlisted candidates to tell us about any reasonable adjustments they need. Our current office is only accessible via a flight of stairs. We will of course discuss home based working and holding team meetings in an accessible location.
Key responsibilities
1. Provide administration and operational support across the fundraising team.
2. Provide support and guidance to the team as the database (Dynamics) champion.
3. Maintain all income and supporter records in the database, working closely with the finance team on processing income and invoices.
4. Be the first point of contact for all fundraising enquiries (including those received by post, email and telephone).
5. Develop excellent and enduring relationships with current and potential supporters.
6. Work with the team to ensure that systems are in place to record, analyse and monitor fundraising activity and income.
7. Help process donations and support with donation acknowledgment receipts and thank you letters, as appropriate.
8. Support individuals raising funds for us, responding to enquiries, sending fundraising materials (including t-shirts, information packs, etc.) and thanking once their activity is completed.
9. Support event administration, tracking fundraising pages and producing reports. Confidently navigate and manage platforms, such as JustGiving.
10. Manage our trading activity, including Christmas cards, liaising with suppliers, processing orders, and working with volunteers to ensure the fulfilment of orders.
11. Provide regular updates on progress against agreed objectives and contribute to wider departmental fundraising reports as required.
12. Support the team at Charlie Waller Trust fundraising events (e.g. musical events, sporting events) as required.
13. Ensure that systems and processes are effective, and that our database is being updated and utilised as the central source of information.
14. Liaise with a wide variety of people and organisations including supporters of the charity, trainers, funders, other statutory and voluntary organisations who work in the mental health field, and members of the public.
15. Ensure compliance to data protection, safeguarding, confidentiality and relevant organisational policies and procedures.
16. Other duties as may be reasonably prescribed by the trust, appropriate to the grade and responsibilities of the post.

They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.
