This life-changing Welsh charity imagines a world without homelessness - could you help to make it a reality as their new Head of Fundraising?
The mission is to end youth homelessness and homelessness for women in Wales. It's a big ambition and to some people it might seem impossible, but if we all work together, homelessness genuinely doesn't have to exist.
Salary: £41,576
Location: Either mostly remote or hybrid from Cardiff, with regular team meetings to be held in person
Flexible, life and family friendly, open to discussing working patterns
About the role:
This is an exciting and varied leadership role with opportunity for personal growth and development too.
Nuts and bolts: You'll be responsible for developing and delivering income growth, as well as the expenditure budget for each income stream; Corporate, Events, Individual Giving, Community and a developing Major Donor programme. It's all about sustainable income growth and nurturing long-term relationships through leadership of a fundraising team who are passionate, fresh and eager to learn.
Added extras: You'll have the opportunity to work closely with the Director on strategy, have access to the Board and be given the freedom and autonomy to make decisions.
About the person:
* You're an experienced income generation professional with significant management experience who motivates, encourages and empowers - always leading from the front.
* You're full of passion and enthusiasm, and used to smashing targets.
* You've got brilliant attention to detail, communicate clearly and understand what makes people tick.
* With excellent organisational skills, you can manage multiple priorities simultaneously and work well on your own initiative.
If you've got previous fundraising experience, that would be a huge bonus and help you get off to a flying start. However, it's certainly not essential - this role could also work really well for a business development, sales or account manager looking for their first charity role.
Working alongside passionate and supportive colleagues in a rewarding environment, you'll be making a huge contribution to creating a Wales without homelessness, every single day.
