About Church Army
Church Army is a charity working across the UK and Ireland, sharing the Christian faith through words and action. They want everyone, everywhere to encounter God's love and be empowered to transform their communities, tackling social deprivation through partnership and collaboration.
Through a network of evangelists, they support marginalised and overlooked communities, including young people and those facing homelessness and addiction. They also extend their impact through a growing network of youth churches and mission hubs, creating welcoming, creative and accessible church communities where people can connect and belong.
About the role
Church Army is entering a new chapter - with fresh leadership, a developing strategy and a real opportunity for someone to help shape how fundraising and engagement looks going forward. The beauty of this reimagined role is that it's both strategic and hands-on, with chance to learn and develop, potentially adding new strings to your fundraising bow.
The role holds responsibility for individual giving, legacies and trusts fundraising, but we don't expect you to come with it all. You'll be given the time, space and tools to develop any skills and experience you don't currently have.
What we definitely need is someone with a strong foundation in Individual Giving - that means the ability to lead on campaigns and product development, as well as confidently manage pipeline planning.
You'll take creative control and responsibility for delivering effective multi-channel fundraising appeals, including key moments in the campaign calendar, such as the Christmas appeal. Using insight, storytelling and data to deepen relationships and grow income, you'll develop meaningful supporter journeys that recruit, retain and inspire generosity. Working closely with colleagues across communications, operations and programmes, you'll help strengthen collaboration across teams, ensuring day-to-day activity and processes support the shared goal of bringing Church Army's mission to life.
You'll also line manage the Individual Giving Officer, providing guidance and support, as well as supervising and supporting the Trusts Consultant and Legacy Consultant. This could be a perfect development opportunity for someone looking to build or grow their leadership experience.
About you
- You're already an experienced Individual Giving fundraiser with a passion and talent for exceptional storytelling, able to write compelling copy that inspires people to take action.
- You can demonstrate previous experience managing campaigns or projects end-to-end and feel confident working with data and insight to optimise results.
- You either already see yourself as a leader or have ambition to be one, with the potential and capability to lead by example and provide guidance and mentorships to others.
We really want to emphasise that you don't need to tick all the boxes to be considered, but you do need to be motivated to broaden your skillset and experience, with natural curiosity and a solutions-focused way of being.
Alignment with Church Army's Christian mission and feeling comfortable working in a faith-based environment where prayer and shared values are part of daily life is important. This role has an occupational requirement for the postholder to be a practising Christian.
How to Apply
If this sparks your imagination and interest, then we'd love to hear from you. Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People as the first step and she'll be in touch with further details it your experience matches what we've asked for.
Deadline: 9am on Wednesday 17th June
Interview dates, still to be confirmed
