Are you excited to roll up your sleeves and be part of the growth and evolution of a dynamic anti-poverty charity? Are you adept at building relationships and an outstanding communicator? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
As our Fundraising Officer, you will have the exciting opportunity to make a huge difference in improving the lives of people living in hygiene poverty. Working to secure vital funding for the charity’s work and particularly our volunteer-led projects across the UK, you will work closely with the Senior Volunteer Experience, Communications and Fundraising Manager and Head of Fundraising, Communications and External Engagement. You’ll create new income generation streams, manage trusts and foundations’ bid writing and help deliver all fundraising and stewardship initiatives.
The Hygiene Bank is at a pivotal point in its journey as it embarks on its three-year strategy for growth. The charity has grown rapidly since its creation in 2018 and has exciting plans in its mission to end hygiene poverty. The income generation team will play a critical role in this changing organisation.
If you fit this profile and want to use your talents to improve the lives of people across the UK and are interested in remote working opportunities in a flexible organisation with a values-led ethos, we would love to hear from you!
About The Hygiene Bank
Hygiene poverty is not being able to afford many of the everyday hygiene and personal grooming products most of us take for granted. The reality of low income is that it restricts people’s options, leaving us caught between being able to heat our homes, pay the rent, eat, or be clean. It is washing hair, bodies, faces and clothes in the same cheap washing up liquid used for the dishes. It is not being able to replace a toothbrush when needed or sharing a toothbrush because one each just isn't an option. It is having to choose between shaving foam and razors or the transport fare to a job interview.
Hygiene Poverty is the hidden crisis facing the UK. In 2022, The Hygiene Bank published groundbreaking research into the incidence and impact of hygiene poverty. It found that over 3.1 million adults across the country are currently experiencing hygiene poverty and that it is both alarmingly widespread, increasing and disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable. It stops people from participating in society, feeds the mental health crisis and blocks routes out of poverty. It is simply unjust.
At The Hygiene Bank, we believe that everyone deserves to feel clean. That is why our network of projects exists – to give people access to the basics they need.
Job Description
The Fundraising Officer will be a key member of The Hygiene Bank’s income generation and wider team, with a responsibility to help fulfil the charity’s fundraising plans.

Our income last year was over £85m making us one of the UK’s largest humanitarian and development INGOs.
Our Approach

Our role is to help the church identify and realise this opportunity. We have set ourselves the goal of enabling 250,000 churches in the countries we operate to become the transformation centres for their communities that they are called to be. The Fundraising and Engagement team will make this possible by growing our global community of people who want to enter into a whole-life response to poverty with help from Tearfund.
Tearfund’s vision and ambitious strategy has seen us embark on a process of transformation, of focusing and simplifying our structures, operating model and messaging.

Every 6 minutes someone learns that they are losing their sight. Every five hours, a baby is born with sight problems. In these moments, two profound questions emerge:
• Can this be stopped?
• How do I (or my child) live this life?
The merger of Fight for Sight and Vision Foundation on 1st April 2023 will enable us to address both questions. By combining our strengths and expertise we’ll be the only significant national funder with the efficiency, capability, and capacity to increase investment in medical research and social improvement. Together we can mitigate both the prevalence and impact of sight loss.
We have a clear ambition, led by our CEO, Keith Valentine, who has valuable lived experience of sight loss. We’ve secured well-respected and highly engaged ambassadors and patrons, such as Sir John Major and Marsha De Cordova MP. We also benefit from world renowned researchers on our Research Grants Assessment Panel.
We are now looking for experienced, committed, and creative individuals to join our dynamic team as we devise and launch new five-year organisational and research strategies. You’ll have a chance to contribute to the delivery of these strategies and lead on plans for disseminating them.
