You will be working closely with volunteers, community groups, individuals and local businesses to increase awareness of the work of the Carers Centre to maximise supporter engagement and drive community fundraising in Bath and North East Somerset.

Working in collaboration with our Community Engagement & Volunteer Manager and our digital team you will deliver a range of innovative digital fundraising events and activities. 

Through positive community engagement, you will help us transform support for carers, improving the help and recognition they receive from the people around them alongside raising much-needed funds.
