Our vision is a world where no one is ever too old to make friends and enjoy social interaction.
 
Our mission is to work within communities to end social isolation and loneliness in older people.
 
Re-engage is committed to growing a staff team that enjoys coming to work every day and gets satisfaction out of being part of delivering significant impact to the lives of older people. We all work remotely, and we don’t let that stop us from getting to know each other and enjoying down time together. Our wellbeing programme includes multiple interest groups: music, books, hobbies etc as well as coffee and catch ups, quizzes, mindfulness, and other group activities. Everyone is encouraged to get involved in working groups and staff networks, all of which contribute to us getting to know each other. We have strong values and promote behaviours that underpin all we do.
 
How we recruit
 
Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people from ethnic minority backgrounds are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Re-engage we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we’d encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
 
Re-engage uses the Hireful platform which helps remove unconscious bias for a forward-thinking, fair, and objective alternative to traditional hiring. Instead of using your CV alone, we'll be asking you to answer questions to test essential skills needed for the role. The responses are then anonymised and reviewed in a random order by members of our team. This enables us to make data-driven assessments focused on someone's ability, rather than their background.
 
The Hireful platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application. We never see these responses with your application. We only see summary statistics to help us check if our candidate pool is balanced and if everyone has an equal chance to get hired irrespective of their background. If you prefer, you can easily opt out of answering these questions.
 
We would rather AI wasn't used for your answers as we want the real you, however we do reserve the right to reject applications if we feel the use of AI has been excessive.
 
The closing date is midnight on 18 May 2025 and interviews will be held week commencing 26 May 2025 and week commencing 2 June 2025

Could you build and support a fundraising community to help tackle health inequalities for people affected by cancer in the North West?

Are you passionate about the power of communities to make real change happen through fundraising?

Working for a leading cancer charity as their brand-new Regional Fundraiser, you'll help schools, community groups, individual volunteers and local businesses to fund world-class research. Through award-winning, high-impact campaigns, you'll challenge the cause, improve the care and find the cure for cancer.

Salary: £29-34k (able to appoint across the band)
Contract: Permanent, either full time, part-time or reduced hours
Location: Homebased, with regular travel across your local patch (and team meetings held in Liverpool) To cover North Manchester and Lancashire
Benefits: 25 days (+ bank and Christmas closure), 5% employer pension contribution
Culture: Flexible, supportive, able to work with autonomy

About the charity

Living in the North West, we're 25% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than elsewhere in the UK and many cancers are much more common across the region. The region also suffers from extreme social-deprivation and health inequalities which, when combined, lead to a lower-than-average life-expectancy and poorer quality of life for our communities.

Community fundraising is an important vehicle to challenge this - by raising money and awareness.

This role will cover North Manchester up to Lancashire - you'll be homebased with travel across the patch to meet supporters.

What will I be fundraising for?

Recent fundable projects include a groundbreaking annual Regional Report on cancer and the innovative Lab-Coat Learning education programme for the region's schools.

You'll act as the face of the charity out in the community, spreading the word about how fundraising can drive positive change. You'll develop relationships with volunteer fundraisers, community groups and local businesses, encouraging and motivating them to fundraise.

You'll deliver interactive presentations, activities and outreach sessions at schools and volunteer groups, offering support, advice and guidance on how people can supercharge their fundraising.

About you

You join a passionate and well-established fundraising team, who genuinely care about and support one another.

Key attributes we're looking for in our new Regional Fundraiser:

• Experience working in a face-to-face role, either fundraising, sales, account or volunteer management.
• Engaging presentation skills, able to inspire people to take action.
• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
• A self-motivated individual, capable of working independently and as part of a team.
• Target-driven, comfortable and confident working with achievable KPIs and targets.
• A team player, someone who brings the best out in other people.
• Flexibility to attend fundraising events, including some evenings and weekends.
• Ability to travel independently across the North Manchester and Lancashire.

If you're driven by making a difference in the fight against cancer, then step forward: we'd absolutely love to hear from you.

Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the first step.

Deadline: Please note, as this has been advertised previously, we'll be working on a rolling basis. Please get in touch as soon as possible if you are interested, we would love to begin conversations with interested candidates early.
