• Job Title: Senior Events Officer 
• Location: Street Child’s London office (Hybrid working)
• Salary Range: £29,000 - £34,000 per annum depending on experience
• Contract Type: Full time, Permanent

Street Child, one of the UK’s fastest growing and most dynamic charities, are searching for an awesome fundraiser to help lead our events and challenges space. This is an enormously demanding but epic role that sits right at the heart of the life of the charity – and is beyond vital to our supporter engagement and fundraising!

There are two critical components to the role:

Firstly, supported by senior management and colleagues, you will lead the design and delivery of in-house fundraising events that our supporters will love. These presently range from galas to sporting challenges to more intimate supporter briefing events. Highlights of the current calendar include our flagship corporate gala which in recent years has been held at the Tate and raised c£1m; the utterly unique Sierra Leone Marathon, now in its 10th year; & the Big Ride, a 2-day corporate-focussed cycle challenge. 

Secondly, you will lead participant recruitment, management and fundraising maximisation across all in-house managed events and third-party challenges, such as the London Marathon and other sporting events, in the UK and globally.

We are constantly looking to innovate and add to our events calendar. A critical additional element to the role will be working with colleagues to imagine new awesome in-house events – and to search for fresh exciting third-party opportunities that will thrill our supporters and give them fantastic platforms for fundraising.

This role sits within our growing Public Fundraising team but requires close liaison with many teams, in particular corporate fundraising, who will also be driving a lot of the participation.  You will task/project manage team colleagues as appropriate, as well as managing at least one junior team member, probably more.

We need someone special who brings boundless imagination, energy, and personality – obviously allied with top-drawer organisational abilities and commitment to detail. Street Child is an environment that is not afraid to trust talented, hard-working professionals with big tasks – regardless of their prior levels of experience. So, whilst extensive relevant experience would be a fantastic asset, and greatly valued, it is not essential – what is essential are the qualities listed above, underpinned by a massive desire and commitment to build and deliver the very best events and challenge programme possible, resulting in fantastic fundraising and supporter engagement. 

To apply for this outstanding opportunity, please send your CV and a compelling covering letter as a combined/single document (max 3-pages) to the email address set out in the attached job description by Tuesday 5th July.

About us

The charity runs a highly tailored and personalised be-friending scheme which helps to improve the mental and physical health, well-being, and independence of older people. A network of volunteers visits isolated and lonely, older people (“Link Friends”) in their own homes on a weekly basis - “Link-Ups”. For many “Link Friends”, a weekly visit from a Link volunteer is the highlight of their week.

More than 1,000 Link Friends have benefited over the years and there are currently over 350 active friendships, “Link Ups” in place. Lives have been given much more purpose and joy, enabling lonely and isolated older people to re-integrate into the community and build new, lasting friendships.
