They will lead all DEC Philanthropy and Partnerships activity, encompassing corporate partnerships, major donors and trusts both in and out of appeal, to help ensure that maximum income is received for the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The majority of day to day work and focus is in the corporate partnerships space and, after a recent review, the DEC will be rolling out a new partnerships framework in the coming months. As such, it is a very exciting time for this new manager to be joining the organisation to steward and build on our existing £multi-million partnerships portfolio while also helping to take DEC appeals to new heights.

Since it was founded in 1963, the DEC has run over 70 fundraising appeals and raised more than £1.4bn to help save lives and protect livelihoods in disaster-affected communities around the world.

About this job
We’re looking for a Community and Events Assistant to join our friendly, creative and hard-working Community and Events Team. We work closely together to achieve an annual income of over £3.2 million.
We’re always ready to go the extra mile to support and inspire the thousands of people out there doing something amazing for people affected by MS. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible for people to achieve their goals, providing the tools, advice and support they need to reach their potential – and building lasting relationships that mean they continue to fundraise for us in future. It’s our job to make sure that our supporters have a fantastic experience of fundraising for us.
As our Community and Events Assistant, you’ll provide administrative and project support to the wider team, as well as coordinating a range of fundraising activities to achieve income targets. In particular, you will support individuals who are taking part in their own events or organising their own DIY fundraising. And there’ll be plenty of opportunities to attend events and see our work in action!
You’ll be organised, with great customer care and communication skills, and willing to go the extra mile. You'll work closely with supporters, volunteers, local groups and the wider fundraising team. You’ll be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the basics of community and events fundraising experience and a collaborative approach to teamwork.
If you’re enthusiastic and motivated by helping others achieve something amazing in support of a cause that means the world to them, we’d love to hear from you.
We are currently advertising for two Community & Events Fundraising Assistants.
We offer 27 days annual leave (excluding bank holidays), a 35 hour working week, travel loan and various other benefits such as supported developmental opportunities.
The MS Society is in the midst of an exciting, transformational, period which builds on our great history and will drive us towards achieving our mission and vision as we embark on our new 5 year strategy.
Part of this exciting transformation will include an office move for our current National Centre in Cricklewood, NW London to a different location in London. We are currently defining where and what type of accommodation this will be and we really want our staff to be involved in that decision and therefore we don’t envisage a move before Sept 2020.
