We’re looking to grow our Fundraising Team to expand and strengthen fundraising opportunities for our community. Are you the Fundraising Administrator we need to support our amazing fundraisers and help drive lasting change?

Endometriosis impacts the physical and mental health of 10% of women and those assigned female at birth, from puberty to menopause - although the impact may be felt for life. Yet it’s a disease most people have never heard of, do not understand and currently has no cure. It takes on average, almost nine years to receive a diagnosis in the UK, leaving many living in pain and without answers.

As the UK’s leading charity for all those affected by endometriosis, we’re determined to change this and ensure that everyone gets prompt diagnosis and the best treatment and support. We have big ambitions in our strategy, focused on raising awareness, better supporting those with endometriosis, driving down diagnosis times, and campaigning for improved treatments and access to services, all possible thanks to the incredible efforts and generosity of our supporters. Last year, almost 70% of our income was from public donations and fundraising, which is incredible. Our goal is to make every supporter feel valued while growing diverse and sustainable income streams. It’s a big challenge for a small team, and that’s where you come in.

Endometriosis UK is looking for a highly motivated Fundraising Administrator to join our busy fundraising team and help support our growth. This will include working across Community Fundraising, Individual Giving, Trusts &Grants, and our Endometriosis Friendly Employer scheme, by providing administrative and logistical support. Whilst you will not need specific experience in all these areas, you will enjoy working with people, be organised, enthusiastic, and proactive, with a willingness to learn.

This is an exciting opportunity to help drive Endometriosis UK’s work forward and play a key role in the future of our fundraising.
