Are you passionate about motivating and supporting people to take part in a wide range of fundraising events? Do you have a proven track record of engaging positively over time with donors throughout their journey alongside a charity? Are you a positive, skilled communicator with an eye for detail and an ability to get ‘stuck in’? If so, this role could be for you.

SUDEP Action is the only UK charity focused on preventing epilepsy-related deaths. We have the only epilepsy bereavement service freely available to anyone suddenly bereaved by epilepsy (including SUDEP). By representing the voices of those who have died and who are bereaved, we aim to learn from deaths, and use research, policy and campaigns to raise awareness and take action that helps save lives. 

Working both independently and with the wider team you will deliver a high-quality community fundraising service. We’re looking for someone who has worked in a fundraising department and/or similar role before, preferably in the charity sector. Engaging confidently with people and feeling comfortable in adapting your approach to different audiences is a key skill for this role - whether they are major donors, corporates or community fundraisers. This is particularly important as many of our supporters & fundraisers are bereaved.

Building positive supporter connections is at the heart of what we do at SUDEP Action, so setting a positive example of this through your plans and actions, and demonstrating the importance of maintaining strong, personalised supporter relationships is key. You’ll know how to follow processes to record, monitor and evaluate supporters’ engagement with community fundraising activities, so this feeds back into how the charity operates.

Much of the charity’s income comes from our motivated and passionate supporters, so this role is a key part of income generation. The successful candidate will be able to build on current processes and successes to grow our engagement across all fundraising activities, platforms and campaigns. Experience of bid/grant writing would be desirable.  

This could be a great role for anyone wanting experience of working in the third sector. We can offer flexibility in days and hours so the role could fit around other work, studies or family commitments.

Desirable but not essential

• Educated to degree level or similar
• Book keeping or accounting experience
• Familiarity with Xero and CRM systems
• Having an understanding of or interest in infertility and/or families created with help of some kind (eg adoption/IVF/donor conception)

What we can offer

You will get training in Xero and CiviCRM software and the renewals and Gift Aid process, as well as support in the role. We can offer a lot of flexibility in days and hours, to fit around other work, studies or family commitments. The office is in a good location in central London, with lots of local amenities and good transport links. This could be a great role for anyone wanting experience of working in the third sector.

We are a small, dedicated team and the office environment is friendly and supportive. The work we do is interesting and hugely valuable and rewarding. This is an exciting time for DC Network as we build on the success of our 30th Anniversary last year. Join us!
