Harris Hill is working with a health based charity located in Epsom, to assist in the search for a Fundraising Officer for a brand new role.

To be considered, we would ideally like someone with the following keys skills and experiences.
Minimum of 2-3 years fundraising experience gained through working across several relevant fundraising disciplines.
Ability to clearly demonstrate the achievement of annual income targets.
Experience in the development of individual giving programmes.
Experience in the development and management of supporter journeys.

You’ll be able to implement a strategy, whilst also quickly identifying and capitalising on opportunities as they come up, demonstrating flexibility and an ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

As an adept relationship manager, you’ll be able to speak and write persuasively to engage stakeholders long-term. You’ll be experienced in working directly with beneficiaries and have an empathetic demeanour.
