Supporter Engagement & Fundraising Communications Manager — Go Beyond £35,000–£37,000 | Fully Remote | Permanent | Full-time
Go Beyond has given over 21,000 vulnerable children life-changing residential breaks since 1994. Young carers who spend their days looking after parents. Children living in poverty for whom a school holiday means hunger, not adventure. Children who've been bullied or bereaved and need a week away from their ordinary life.
The charity is entirely self-funded. £1.8 million a year, every penny raised by supporters. No government money. Which means the work this fundraising team does is directly and specifically what makes those breaks possible.
This is the role that sits at the heart of that.
What makes this moment unusual:
Go Beyond's flagship campaign, Ice Cream Moments, launches this summer — backed by Louis Theroux, James Acaster, David Gower and Jenny Agutter. The trustees want to go viral. A legacy programme is built and ready to launch. An alumni programme connecting with 21,000+ former beneficiaries is research-complete and waiting for someone to open the door. And a loyal supporter base of 200–300 regular givers — many of whom have been giving for over a decade — is generating £90,000 a year with almost no stewardship behind it.
Sara, the Director of Fundraising, describes what's needed like this: "Think of this as your own company. Think of this income stream as your domain — you could make it something amazing."
What the role involves:
The Supporter Engagement & Fundraising Communications Manager will own the supporter communications function end to end. This is a project management and strategy role — not an execution role. The doing sits with two direct reports and a network of freelancers. Your job is to build the plan, manage the team, deliver the campaigns and make sure the data tells you what's working.
In practice that means:
- Building and managing proper supporter journeys for regular givers, challenge event runners and Ice Cream Moments donors
- Project managing the full campaigns calendar — four annual appeals, Ice Cream Moments, challenge events, and a growing digital communications programme
- Developing and implementing a data strategy, setting up income dashboards and overseeing the CRM
- Launching the legacy programme and, in time, the alumni programme
- Managing two direct reports: a Digital Marketing Officer and a Data & Admin / Challenge Events Officer
- Writing an 18-month strategy with proper pipelines and income forecasts
What we're looking for:
This is not a pure fundraiser role or a pure marketing role. It's a hybrid — and the right person will see that as a feature, not a confusion.
- A track record of owning campaigns end to end — not being part of them, owning them. Specific examples, with dates, outputs and results
- Genuine data literacy — comfortable in a CRM, able to run queries, understand segmentation. Not expert-level, but curious enough that you're never caught out
- Financial awareness — you ask what the target is before anything else. You work backwards from an income number
- Hands-on as well as strategic — you can delegate and direct, but you can also do
- Strong project management — multiple workstreams, freelancers, deadlines you can't move
Charity sector experience is welcome but not essential. Commercial direct marketing, agency-side or individual giving backgrounds are all genuinely considered.
What Go Beyond offers:
- £35,000–£37,000 with annual pay review benchmarked to sector
- Fully remote — with the option to use Go Beyond's centres in Cornwall and Derbyshire
- 28 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Flexible working pattern that can include an early finish on Friday
- Management training through the British Growth Fund's six-week programme
- A collaborative, supportive team culture in a genuinely mission-driven organisation
This role will suit you if:
You're energised by building rather than maintaining. You want to own a function, not just a job title. You think in income as well as engagement. And you want to be part of something where the work — the campaigns, the supporter journeys, the data — is directly connected to a child getting a break they wouldn't otherwise have had.
This role is being recruited exclusively through Raise + Recruit, an independent executive search adviser specialising in the charity sector. All enquiries are handled in complete confidence — including from your current employer.
To find out more or to express interest, contact John Austin. No lengthy application process at this stage — a conversation is all it takes.
