We are looking for a really capable team member, who will bring a range of skills, experience and drive to our small communications team – with a passion for news, stories and messages, a customer-focused outlook, and who is brimming with ideas for delivering stand-out digital communications, and supporting others to do so. It is an exciting role in an area of work where no two days are ever the same.

The successful candidate will play a key operational role in implementing the Diocese of Guildford’s Communications strategy, carrying out a wide variety of tasks and supporting the wider Diocesan strategy: ‘Transforming Church; Transforming Lives’. They will also provide the day-to-day running and management of the Diocese of Guildford’s website, social media and digital platforms, including generating, editing and uploading content whilst enhancing the digital presence and outreach. And lastly, they will provide critical communications guidance, training, digital advice and support to the parishes, chaplaincies and schools in support of their work in their parishes and across the Diocese.

This is an exciting time to join our diocese and our relatively new Communications Team. The way people engage and interact with church and faith has changed radically since March 2020 and a global pandemic – the first lockdown saw a rapid growth in digital awareness, use and reach for the Church of England and people exploring faith in a time of National crisis. Our online audiences are now bigger than our in-person congregations and our ability to use technology and go where our audiences are, has shown rapid and real improvements.

Our service is needed more than ever before with 10% of primary schools across the country asking Schoolreaders for reading volunteers. Building on past successes, we now have ambitious expansion plans to address the need.

We are looking for a Regional Fundraiser to join our small, friendly Fundraising Team on a flexible, part-time basis of 7.5 hours per week and lead on developing local support for Daisy's Dream in Cheshire East. Local support will be in the form of fundraising, volunteers and awareness, ensuring that Daisy’s Dream Cheshire East is able to respond to the needs of children and families affected by life threatening illness or bereavement in its surrounding areas. 

Daisy’s Dream Cheshire East is a recently established arm of the bereavement charity Daisy’s Dream, which has been based in Berkshire for the past twenty-five years and benefits from a dedicated and loyal network of support across the region.

The Regional Fundraiser forms part of our home-based fundraising team who work closely together to deliver a successful and varied programme of fundraising activities including corporate, trusts and grants, community, events and individual giving. The postholder will be based within the Cheshire East area to work together with our Cheshire East based, highly experienced Therapeutic Practitioner, who leads our services to families in the area.

About you

With previous experience of fundraising or transferable skills from a similar customer focussed role, such as marketing or sales, you will be a friendly, personable communicator with the ability to forge wide-ranging and productive relationships. As this is a home-based role, you will be self-motivated, comfortable working under your own initiative and confident in approaching new contacts who may have little or no knowledge of Daisy’s Dream’s services.

You will take a enthusiastic and creative approach to your role, understanding fundraising to be a challenging but rewarding task. You will also be organised with good attention to detail, the ability to spot opportunities and a knowledge or understanding of different types of fundraising. As fundraising for Daisy’s Dream within Cheshire East is still a relatively new venture, you will be confident in trying out new approaches and have a positive attitude towards learning within the role. 

How to apply

If this sounds like you, please send a CV and cover letter explaining how you feel you fit the person specification and detailing your experience in relation to the job description. We'd love to hear from you.
