Part-time Fundraising officer jobs

Would you like to work for an established, forward thinking charity and raise vital funds to help support survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence?

Staying Put is well known for the great care we take with clients and employees alike. We are experts in the domestic abuse field and we continue to develop exciting, new services that are breaking the mould of traditional service provision in this sector.

About the role

The focus of the role will be on writing grant applications and competitive tenders to generate new income streams for the charity. These new income streams will allow us to move away from our reliance on core funding enabling us to follow our strategic plans and diversify where necessary to support more survivors.

This role will work closely with the Service Managers to identify funding opportunities which match our capacity for delivery.

The Bid Writer will develop and maintain networks and beneficial working relationships to raise the profile of Staying Put.

The role will involve analysing and researching information from various sources and then presenting these in a cohesive and persuasive way for the required audience. Writing reports and analysis for SLT will be required as part of this role.

Part-time, 18.75 hours per week, over 3 days. £32,900 FTE per annum.

About you

We are looking for someone with significant experience in a similar bid writing role who can demonstrate success in meeting challenging financial targets. Knowledge of domestic abuse and sexual violence, the impact it has on victims and issues they face, would be an advantage.

You will need to be a self-starter with a professional attitude. Our ideal candidate will be able to problem solve in dynamic situations and have a creative approach to income generation.

As well as experience of working in the charity sector, we need someone who is detail-oriented and has strong time management and organisational skills. We are looking for candidates who are able to work with initiative, have a high level of self motivation with a “can-do” attitude but who can recognise, work with and develop their strengths within a team

About us

With over 24 years solid experience of helping survivors of domestic abuse, Staying Put are part of an exciting and innovative, multi-agency partnership working together with Family Action and Women Centre, to develop a ‘one system approach’ to families affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence.

We are proud to provide vital support and services to men, women and children of Bradford who are survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence. We help people have better lives – and you can too.

We are looking for enthusiastic, experienced, engaged and highly motivated people to join our expanding team.

Release Counselling and Therapy for Women is entering an exciting new chapter. 

Founded in Brighton and Hove in 2013, Release has grown from a small local charity into a financially robust organisation with a growing national reach. Under the leadership of our outgoing CEO, the charity has been transformed—moving from a challenging financial position to one with strong reserves, clear sustainability, and ambitious plans for growth. 

We now provide affordable 1:1 online counselling to women across the UK, alongside specialist group programmes supporting maternal mental health and key life transitions. One-to-one counselling is a core offer and a vital income stream, enabling us to extend our reach while staying true to our values. 

This period has also seen Release grow to working with over 20 dedicated volunteer counsellors, strengthening our capacity and community impact. 

As our CEO steps down, Release is ready for its next phase—building on strong foundations, amplifying our national impact, and remaining firmly rooted in our purpose: being a charity that supports women’s mental health, run by women, for women.

Share is seeking an Executive Assistant to our Senior Leadership Team. In this role you will support Share’s four-person SLT to work effectively by assisting with the administrative aspects of their work and liaising with Share’s trustees.

Who we’re looking for

• A proactive, organised person who demonstrates our values of kindness, support, ambition, respect, integrity and inclusivity in all they do.
• You’ll be comfortable working to different deadlines and working on a variety of tasks, and you’ll be adept at quickly building warm and productive relationships with your colleagues and our trustees.
• You’ll have excellent attention to detail, keen to develop new skills and be trustworthy and discreet with the sensitive information you’ll see day to day.
• You’ll be happy to work on solo projects with minimal supervision, but also keen to play your part in small teams that aim to make Share a great place to work and learn.

Why work for us?

Share is committed to empowering disabled people. You’ll make a difference every day, helping people to live as independently as possible.

Our values drive us forward. They provide the framework for everything we do, including who we hire. We believe everyone has something to offer others, and we build on people's individual talents, interests and abilities. We think happy employees are successful employees.

People are at the heart of everything we do, and Share is proud to hold the Investors in People Gold accreditation.
