• Achieving ambitious fundraising targets. 

• Identifying and qualifying new philanthropic prospects.

• Helping keep our supporters up to date with our activities and impact.

• Ensuring accurate, timely and thorough correspondence, acknowledgement and record-keeping at all stages of the donor journey. You will use our CRM system (Salesforce) to manage prospects and supporters, enter and track gifts, pull reports, and analyse data.

• Over time, potentially identifying and implementing other fundraising revenue streams, and developing and executing creative strategies to expand our donor base, for example using social media and e-appeals, as part of GFI’s global fundraising efforts. 

• Coordinating closely with GFI development colleagues in the US and other countries. 

• Over time, potentially helping to drive GFI’s expansion to other countries in Europe, including setting up development systems in those countries.

• A passion for our philosophy and mission.

• A proven track record of cultivating relationships with major donors and/or funding institutions (e.g. trusts, foundations), and securing significant gifts. 

• The ability to persuasively make the case for support for GFI and to represent GFI to our stakeholders.

• Positivity and a genuine love of working with other people: a passion for building warm, long-lasting relationships with our family of supporters, motivating them to maintain and increase their support.

• Conscientiousness and attention to detail in recording and tracking interactions with donors and prospects: comfort with the ‘science’, as well as the ‘art’, of fundraising. 

• A willingness to travel throughout Europe in pursuit of philanthropic opportunities, when the COVID-19 situation allows.

• A very strong work ethic and self-motivation; a sense of ownership and responsibility to drive outcomes and get things done.

• The ability to work in an organised and structured manner.

• Comfort working remotely in a rapidly-growing and evolving organisation: the ability to work well independently and under pressure, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (CEFR: C2 level minimum).

They provide social homes to around 6 million people, including the homeless, asylum seekers, people with learning disabilities and people fleeing domestic violence. Our diverse members are key players in fixing the country’s broken housing market and have been central to the national response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The scale and complexity of the country’s housing challenges are rarely far from the headlines, and the political landscape around it is shifting all the time. Working within this fast-paced environment, the NHF is one of the most influential and high profile trade bodies in the UK.

You will be joining a high-performing, campaigning team that develops major stories and content from scratch. The past few years have been incredibly busy for the sector as housing remains a top political priority. In 2020, we campaigned for homes to be put at the heart of the country’s recovery to coronavirus and supported our members to continue delivering vital housing services throughout the pandemic. The year before, we shone a light on how housing costs are pushing children in to poverty and called for an end to discriminatory ‘No DSS’ policies. The team plays a huge role in amplifying the NHF’s messaging and campaigns in traditional and social media.
We’re a proactive team, and this is a chance to be creative and develop exciting digital campaigning content as well as tell stories online that champion the amazing work housing associations do. 
Our social media channels are busy and growing. You will also be responsible for effectively moderating and monitoring them as well as working closely with staff around the organisation to make sure we have the best social media presence possible. Our social media channels are an important way for us to interact with our members and other key stakeholders, including politicians, journalists and housing association residents.
