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.

If a rolling deadline disadvantages you in any way, please get in touch with Ellen and she'll do her very best to ensure you don't miss out.

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion. We match charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.

When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer life is turned upside down – for them and their family.  Fear, isolation, extreme money worries, not knowing where to turn – this is the reality for many.

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help children, young people and families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. You could be a part of the team making it happen.

The Role 

We are looking for an experienced Social Worker to join our London & South East Team supporting children and young people diagnosed with cancer.

We pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality support tailored to the needs of the children and young people and their families. The work we do is rewarding but also complex and demanding. You will be part of a close-knit Young Lives vs Cancer social work team, working with an established NHS multi-disciplinary team and services in the community.

This role is part home, part site-based. Your contractual base will be both Home and Hospital.

This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.

About You

You will be committed to delivering high quality social work support to promote the best outcomes for the children, young people and families we work with. You will need to be resourceful and resilient. You will have a positive attitude and be willing to embrace difference. As part of the wider Young Lives vs Cancer team you will actively engage with the work of the charity and welcome opportunities to get involved.

You will have:

• A recognised Social Worker qualification and current registration with Social Work England/ Scottish Social Services Council/Social Care Wales/Northern Ireland Social Care Council
• Experience working with children, young people and their families/carers in a social care setting.
• Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary environment, ideally in an NHS setting.
• Sound knowledge of child and young people development.
• An understanding of the impact of serious illness for children, young people and their families.
• Excellent interpersonal skills.

What will I gain?

 For people to reach their full potential, they need the right environment. As a member of Team Young Lives, you’ll be made to feel supported, valued and appreciated. Here’s how we do it:

• Flexible working: we’re open to working hours outside of 9 - 5 and we can talk through your flexibility requirements at interview stage
• Wellbeing days: four days a year to do what works for you – from catching up on training to going for a walk
• Generous annual leave allowance
• Great family/caring leave entitlements
• Enhanced pension
• Access to our employee savings scheme

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we recognise that opportunities for too many people remain a condition of their sex, ethnicity, class, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation – or a combination. This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. We don’t just accept difference, we value it, celebrate it, nurture it and we thrive because of it.

We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support. We know we aren’t there yet, and we’re passionately committed to taking actions and making changes to be a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable organisation. This includes taking anti-oppressive action and removing barriers in our recruitment practices. We particularly welcome applications from members of minoritised communities. Our Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging strategy will tell you more.

We operate an anonymised shortlisting process in our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. CVs can be uploaded, but we won't be able to view them until we invite you for an interview. Instead, we ask you to fully complete the work history sections of the online application form for us to be able to assess you quickly, fairly and objectively.

Accessibility

We’re committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and we’ll always aim to be as accommodating as possible.Please let us know in your application form of any adjustments or access requirements we could make to help you with the application process and interview.

Our vision is for every individual and community we walk alongside to have equitable health, wealth and self.

Our Mission

Being almost 200 years old, Gaddum has seen some of the most challenging and inequitable times in the UK’s history, and the world we are living in is still one where so many don’t have the opportunities or resources they need to achieve their aspirations.

We amplify the voices of the communities we serve, and we empower individuals to overcome challenges by listening, supporting, and advocating for their needs.

• there is injustice in the world but both systems and society can change for the better

• we can be agents of positive change; working with others, learning from diverse lived experience, and advocating for fairness
