Events Fundraising Assistant - 37.5 hours per week
Type - Permanent
Based – The role is based at CCC-Wirral  

The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is growing and we have a number of fantastic opportunities to join our Fundraising Team!

THE CHARITY

As we open Liverpool's first cancer hospital in just a few months, we are in the most exciting phase of our history. With investment in our existing centres and the future of cancer care across Merseyside and Cheshire, we are the only charity dedicated to the incredible work of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.

Our charity funds the latest treatments, vital research, technology and the best possible environment for around 30,000 patients each year at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre. As one of the largest cancer hospitals in the UK, we operate from 18 sites, including our Centres in Wirral & Aintree, our blood cancer Unit at the Royal, and our network of clinics across the region. We are excited to add our brand new cancer hospital in Liverpool City Centre to this network in May 2020.

In line with our future plans we have an incredible opportunity for an enthusiastic Events Fundraising Assistant to join our fundraising team. This role will not only be instrumental in raising the final £5m of our public appeal to transform cancer care for people across Merseyside and Cheshire, but is also key to the charity's future growth.

THE ROLE

Assisting the Events Fundraising Manager, this role is key to the success of the charity’s fundraising events – from countryside bike rides and coastal walks to adrenaline fuelled skydives and everything in between! You will assist in marketing the events, the recruitment of participants, and giving our supporters the tools they need to hit their fundraising goals to support the work we do.

This exciting role also includes getting involved in the logistics of our events – helping to make sure our events are safe, smooth running and most of all fun for our supporters! You could be developing a social media campaign one day, and handing out medals in a muddy field the next. It’s an exciting role and no two days are the same.

General overview:

• Provide proactive support in the planning, preparation and manual set up of fundraising events
• Support marketing activity to recruit participants for our events
• Identify case stories to inspire others to take part
• Attend third party events as and when required (some weekends)
• Recruitment and coordination of event volunteers
• Maintain event systems, including database management and filing
• Support on specific third party events as designated by the Events Fundraising Manager
• Communicate with fundraisers to encourage income generation and further participation
• Source gifts in kind and prizes from local companies
• Prepare information packs and marketing materials
• Attend events with and on behalf of the Events Fundraising Manager
• Encourage participation in organised fundraising activities and events

The ideal candidate will have a passion for events, marketing, the outdoors, and fundraising. You should be someone with a very hands-on approach, and are happy to do everything for the good of the event and the charity. You’ll thrive on making our events a success, raising money for people with cancer and supporting our participants on their journey.

If you are looking to develop a career in fundraising and/or events, this role is a fantastic opportunity to learn and gain experience in a fast-paced charity events environment.

THE TRUST 

This is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic and forward thinking Trust.

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s leading cancer centres, providing high quality care to the population of Merseyside and Cheshire and beyond.

We provide a comprehensive range of inpatient care, advanced radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other systemic anti-cancer therapies including gene therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of solid tumours and blood cancers. We are also the only facility in the UK providing low-energy proton beam therapy to treat rare eye cancers.

We are currently embarking on an £162 million investment in facilities including a new cancer hospital in the heart of Liverpool due to open in 2020. Based on the same thriving research and healthcare campus as the University of Liverpool and Royal Liverpool University Hospital, the new hospital will ensure every patient receives truly outstanding care and can access the most advanced treatments and clinical trials for generations to come.

For further details please see the Role Description. The deadline for applications is Sunday 5th January 2020. Interviews will be held on Tuesday 14th January 2020.

Two exciting opportunities to work with a dynamic national charity based in Stratford:

For over 30 years School-Home Support has been working with disadvantaged children, young people and families who are struggling with their education due to a wide range of complex issues. SHS gets children and young people back into school ready to learn, whatever it takes. Our work breaks down barriers to learning such as poverty, domestic violence and poor housing.  We are a small dynamic charity with proven impact.  During the last year we have expanded our services into areas of the UK where there are high levels of need.

Due to internal promotions in the fundraising team we are now recruiting for two posts.  Both posts are based in the SHS Central Office in Stratford, a 10 minutes walk from the station and well served with both underground and mainline trains, including Stratford International, Jubilee and Central line tubes, Overground and DLR.

Fundraising Assistant - 37.5 hours a week, full time based in Stratford
Fundraising Assistant (Trusts & Foundations) - 37.5 hours a week, full time based in Stratford

The fundraising team at SHS is small and dynamic. We are all totally passionate about the work SHS does, so first and foremost we are looking for people who share our commitment to educational equality.  The Fundraising Team has a high profile within SHS as we rely increasingly on voluntary income to ensure we reach vulnerable children.  The team shares responsibility for the overall fundraising target. We are collaborative and support each other; so a strong team ethic is a must. The Stratford office staff team is also small with around 10-12 people (not including the fundraising team). There will be opportunity to engage directly with staff running services, our CEO and colleagues working directly with children and families, so you will learn a lot about our work and feel close to it.  This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidates to develop and learn.

Fundraising Assistant
37.5 hours a week, full time
Salary: £22,000 per annum
Based in Stratford

This role works across the fundraising team with colleagues in both Trusts & Foundations and Corporate Partnerships.  The role has been shaped by your predecessor so you can expect a comprehensive and supportive handover.  You will need to manage a range of competing priorities and have good attention to detail.  We’re looking for someone who will be proactive, happy to put forward new ideas and who loves taking ownership.  We need someone highly organised who will thrive with a varied portfolio.  You will work with colleagues across the central office including finance, our (tiny) comms team and our team responsible for the services SHS provides. It’s a busy role, with changing priorities. There’s a mixture of regular tasks and projects alongside new developments linked to new opportunities.  Included in the role will be prospect research, managing our small individual donor base, organising events, and taking a lead on monitoring fundraising targets. You will be supported by one of the team’s Senior Partnership Managers.

Fundraising Assistant (Trusts & Foundations)
37.5 hours a week, full time
Salary: £22,000 per annum
Based in Stratford

This role is embedded in our small Trusts team. The majority of our voluntary income comes from Trust and Foundations and we have a good relationship with a wide range of Trusts who continue to support us year on year. The quality of our applications, reporting and feedback is exemplary.  We have powerful case studies, compelling impact data and well researched statistics that explain the need for support. We are looking for someone who is keen to develop their skills in all aspects of Trust fundraising, including prospect research, bid writing, report compilation and account management. You will need to have very high quality writing skills, using every opportunity to showcase your creativity and flair for making a strong case for support.  It’s also imperative you have forensic attention to detail, and a careful, questioning approach in helping to steward our large portfolio of Trust and Foundation. The role provides opportunity to learn all aspects of Trust fundraising as you will be working closely with both our newly promoted Trusts Executive and with our Senior Trusts Manager.

Closing date and interviews for both posts are:

Closing date: 18th December 2019
Interviews: 6th and 7th January 2020
