The Fundraising Manager will play a pivotal role in advancing the bpf’s work and mission. This exciting opportunity would suit a fundraising professional with effective leadership, strategic thinking and analytical skills.

This role will suit someone who can roll their sleeves up and get the job done, as well as someone looking to take on a more strategic and project management role.
The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to build strong and productive relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, both internally and externally. There is significant scope and opportunity for the Fundraising Manager to shape bpf’s work around trusts and foundations, individual giving, challenge/community events, and corporate partnerships (all in their relative infancy at the charity and needing someone with experience and vision to broaden our reach and grow our current income).
The successful candidate will also have a track record of achieving income targets and managing successful, multi-stream fundraising campaigns. During the interview process, we would like to hear examples of the software, channels, and customer/donor relationship management tools (CRMs) you have used to build and manage fundraising campaigns.

ROLE PURPOSE
PAN UK is the only charity in the UK focused solely on tackling the problems caused by pesticides and promoting safe and sustainable alternatives in agriculture, urban areas, homes and gardens.
We are looking for a passionate, organised, self-motivated individual with experience of corporate campaigning to lead PAN UK’s highly-impactful supermarket campaign which aims to reduce pesticide-related harms to both human health and the environment. Launched in 2019, the campaign has secured a wide range of wins from getting Tesco to ban 200 toxic pesticides from use within its global supply chains to convincing Co-op, Waitrose, Aldi and Lidl to stop selling synthetic garden pesticides.
As Campaigns Officer, you will be involved in a variety of tasks including; campaign strategy development, meeting with decision-makers, providing feedback on policies, writing communications materials and running events. You do not need to have extensive knowledge of pesticide issues but must be able to pick up new, complex topics quickly and communicate them confidently.
In addition to running the supermarkets campaign, you will be an integral part of a small, high-performing team which is also working to influence national government and local councils. It should be noted that, while in its current iteration this role will focus on PAN UK’s supermarket campaign, the organisation reserves the right to change this focus in the future to another campaign focussed on reducing UK pesticide-harms to human health and the environment.
Job Title: Campaigns Officer (focussing on UK supermarkets)
Salary: £35,000 to £40,000 p.a. depending on experience
Reporting To: Head of Policy & Campaigns (UK team)
Location: PAN UK’s office in Brighton (or able to work from Brighton a minimum of two days per week)
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full Time (35 hours per week)
Travel Requirements: The post could involve national travel
Closing date & Interviews: The closing date for applications is 11pm on Wednesday 2nd October 2024. Interviews will be held on Tuesday 22nd October in Brighton. PAN UK is able to help with travel costs if required.
PAN UK particularly encourages applications from diverse backgrounds. We view diversity in its broadest form which includes, but is not limited to, the consideration of race, nationality, gender, age, class, disability, sexuality, language and educational background. We particularly encourage applications from eligible candidates from minority ethnic groups which remain under-represented in the charity sector.
We are asking all applicants to complete this diversity form, even if you choose to leave some parts blank. Your responses will remain anonymous and will not be linked to your application. The information you provide will help us to better understand our own recruitment practices and how they can be improved to ensure that we are reaching as broad a pool of people as possible.
