About CARE
CARE International is a global humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations. Women and girls are at the centre of our work, because we cannot overcome poverty and inequality until all people have equal rights and opportunities. We know that when a crisis erupts, women are often the first to pick up the pieces, so we work alongside women, so they have the power to make change where it’s needed most. Founded in 1945, CARE currently works in over 100 countries and last year alone reached 53.4 million people through nearly 1,500 projects.
Why work for CARE International UK?
This is a unique opportunity to build and lead a brand-new major giving programme at CARE International UK. Reporting into the Director of Fundraising and Comms, you’ll be shaping something from the ground up, with strong organisational backing and the support you need to succeed.

You’ll have access to the CEO and Board of Trustees, and we’ll also tailor a package of support around you to ensure you can thrive and grow alongside the programme you’ll build.
Initial targets are achievable and grounded in our current situation, and there is room for these to grow ambitiously. This is your chance to launch a programme that will be vital to CARE’s mission, with the scope to shape it around what inspires and motivates you. Along the way, you’ll develop rewarding two-way relationships with our supporters, bringing them closer to the impact they are making for women and communities worldwide.

· Practical and people-oriented - you will thrive working at a fast pace whilst maintaining accuracy and be a confident user of IT (including MSOffice)
· A persuasive and open communicator, you will work collaboratively with your team and volunteers to ensure delivery of a high-quality service and support fundraising colleagues by writing case studies and family updates
· A practical knowledge of diversity issues affecting children, young people, and their families – aware that being responsive to others needs and concerns, is essential.
