About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.
Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.
As we begin to emerge from lockdown, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.
We are recruiting for a Fundraising Development Officer to join our expanding Partnerships and Philanthropy team, to work alongside our inspirational supporters and beneficiaries to bring an end to homelessness in Great Britain.
About the role
As a Fundraising Development Officer you will join our innovative, dynamic and creative Fundraising Development Team (FDT).

Whilst you won’t be primarily supporter facing you will be absolutely central to fundraising success, using and growing your in-depth knowledge of corporate partner and philanthropy audiences, putting you in a brilliant position to later move into either a frontline fundraising role or a range of other internal teams. But we hope you won’t want to leave!

- Strong organisation skills, attention to detail and a methodical approach to tasks.
- Able to work on own initiative, but also as part of a closely coordinated team.
