Are you an experienced fundraiser who shares the Jesuit Refugee Service’s (JRS) vison of a world where all who have to flee their homes are welcomed with love?

JRS UK is seeking to recruit an experienced Fundraising Officer on a part-time basis (3 days, 22.5 hours a week) who will have primary responsibility for raising income from charitable trusts and foundations. 

This new role seeks to develop JRS UK’s trusts and foundations income through building on the existing strong relationships we have with trusts, and developing new ones. The Fundraising Officer will be responsible for securing grant income for the different projects of JRS UK’s work to accompany, serve, and advocate for the rights of refugees and forcibly displaced people. 

The role will suit someone who is passionate about researching potential grant funders who would be interested in supporting its work with asylum seekers who’ve been made destitute as a consequence of government policies, and those held in immigration detention; someone with excellent written communication skills to draft inspiring applications, sharing the impact of its work with over 300 destitute refugees across Greater London. 

A self-starter, the Fundraising Officer will work independently, with support from the Communications & Development Manager and the Director, to manage a diverse portfolio of relationships to secure funding and support for JRS UK’s work, typically in the region of £1,000 to £50,000. 

This role comes at an exciting time in JRS UK’s history as the organisation looks to increase awareness of its work, with ambitious plans to grow income from trusts & foundations. The Fundraising Officer will play a pivotal role in ensuring JRS UK diversifies and stabilises its income streams, ensuring the organisation can continue to accompany and serve refugees and those who are forcibly displaced. 

This role will suit a confident, proactive and successful fundraiser, with good organisational skills and attention to detail, who is able to build positive relationships with a range of supporters, volunteers, staff, and refugees.

Can you provide a clear focus on delivering team objectives as well as your own, to diversify our engagement and funding from with a range of institutional/government donors? Can you promote best practices in business development, supporting colleagues and challenging ways of working to ensure the highest quality and levels of efficiency. You will provide leadership to the organisation as we seek to grow and expand our long-standing relationship with key institutional donors.

This role is fixed-term until July 2021 and due to COVID-19 it is currently home based. Once the office reopens the main base for the role will be our Brighton office with flexibility for working from home.

The role will include:

• Leading a project team to build strong and effective relationships with key institutional/government donors including the UK government to secure and grow Frontline AIDS income.
• Identifying, shaping and responding to relevant funding opportunities, aligning these with organisational priorities.
• Leading intelligence gathering about key institutional/government donors, and new funding opportunities.

About us

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.

Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.

Everything we do is rooted in our two key beliefs:

• That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.
• That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.

Today, we work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.

As a global partnership that is open to everyone, we can only do what we do – and achieve what we want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.

Are you the Frontliner we’re looking for?

You are a committed team member with a clear focus on team objectives, as well as your own. You will promote best practice within your field of expertise and challenge ways of working to ensure the highest quality and levels of efficiency. Your actions will be aligned with Frontline AIDS vision and you will inspire the same behaviour in your peers. You are comfortable working in a matrix management environment.
