Proud2Be is a grassroots, user-led LGBTQ+ charity based in South Devon, working to ensure that people can thrive, be safe, and live freely as themselves. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to challenging systemic oppression and creating spaces where people feel seen, valued and connected.

We are looking for two Adult Community Workers to join our team.

This is a deeply relational, hands-on role working alongside LGBTQ+ adults to build community, connection and belonging. You will assist in the facilitatation of inclusive groups and events, provide one-to-one support, and create spaces where people feel safe to be themselves and explore their identities, experiences and aspirations.

You’ll work directly with individuals and groups to support their personal, social and emotional wellbeing, while also ensuring that the voices of those we work with shape and influence the services we provide. Whether you’re running a group, supporting someone one-to-one, or helping deliver a community event, your role will centre on empowerment, inclusion and care.

You will collaborate closely with a small, passionate team to respond to community needs, develop meaningful programmes, and represent Proud2Be within the local community, including at events such as Pride.

We are a values-driven organisation that prioritises the well-being of our team as much as the communities we serve. As part of this role, you will receive monthly supervision, a dedicated space for reflection and support, and 4 paid mental health days each year in addition to annual leave. You’ll be joining a supportive team culture where learning, care and authenticity are actively encouraged.

This is an opportunity to be part of an organisation where your work will make a genuine difference in people’s lives, and where compassion, courage and integrity are at the core of everything we do.

If you’re passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ people and want to be part of a team creating meaningful change, we’d love to hear from you.

The vacancy

If you love bringing people together, thrive on the buzz of big events, and get a kick out of turning passion into impact, this role has your name all over it.

Sitting at the heart of RBVE’s ambitious Fundraising Team, you’ll be the driving force behind a vibrant programme of community and events fundraising. Think mass‑participation runs, nationally recognised challenges, inspiring local initiatives — and the chance to shape what comes next.

What You’ll Be Leading

You’ll take charge of a portfolio packed with exciting community and third‑party events, from 5K (and maybe 10K!) runs to large‑scale challenge experiences. Working closely with the Senior Community Fundraising Manager, you’ll help shape our events calendar, influence key decisions, and constantly push performance to the next level.

Why This Role Matters

This is a high‑impact position for someone who knows how to deliver unforgettable supporter experiences and generate serious income. Your work will directly support RBVE’s mission to provide jobs, homes and communities for veterans — and you’ll see the difference your efforts make every single day.

As Community Fundraiser, you’ll:

• Lead a portfolio of established, high‑profile fundraising events

• Develop and grow RBVE’s future community fundraising programme

• Champion supporters, ensuring they feel valued, inspired and part of something bigger

• Manage budgets, exceed income targets and keep everything running smoothly

• Represent RBVE with passion, professionalism and genuine heart

The Opportunity

This isn’t a “keep things ticking over” kind of role. It’s a chance to innovate, influence strategy, and leave a lasting mark on a growing, mission‑driven organisation. If you’re ambitious, energetic and ready to make a real difference, we’d love to meet you. This role will be based onsite at Aylesford 5 days a week with occasional travel, evening & weekend work.  The role also comes with a car allowance.

The company

Royal British Veterans Enterprise (RBVE) is a national charity that has been helping those in need for over 100 years, providing support to the Armed Forces community, those with disabilities and those who have found themselves unemployed.

Each RBVE division offers a service to help veterans live an independent life with whatever support they require resulting in the successful delivery of a full-care pathway on-site to help veterans of any age or background from across the three services.

• Work with Marketing, Partnerships & Activities Lead to promote events through social media and marketing platforms
• Ensure events are engaging, effective and financially successful
• Evaluate performance and improve future activity

Strategy, Compliance & Reporting

• Develop and deliver a clear fundraising strategy aligned to organisational goals
• Track performance against targets and provide insight
• Ensure all fundraising is compliant with regulations and best practice
• Represent the charity externally with confidence and credibility

About You

We are looking for someone who can take ownership of fundraising and produce results in a small, resource-constrained environment.

You will likely bring:

• Experience developing or contributing to a fundraising strategy
• Proven experience in fundraising, with a track record of generating income
• Strong experience in writing successful grant applications
• Experience of developing and growing income from community fundraising initiatives (e.g. partnerships, volunteer-led activities, individuals and events)
• Ability to build and manage relationships with funders, donors or partners
• Strong written communication skills — able to create compelling cases for support
• Ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and meet deadlines
• A proactive, resourceful approach — you don’t wait to be told what to do
• Comfortable balancing strategy with hands-on delivery

What We Offer

• £16.79 per hour (£18,334 per year for 21 hours per week)
• Employer pension
• Flexible and hybrid working
• A supportive and passionate team of staff, volunteers and trustees
• The chance to transform the lives of care home residents every single week

How to Apply
