At CareDogs, we reduce social isolation by getting people out and about with local volunteers and their dogs for regular walks, talks and companionship. 

We believe in a society that values community, celebrates intergenerational friendship, honours the human–animal bond, encourages us to be outside more, and helps people feel like valued members of their local communities. 

As Fundraising and Marketing Assistant, you will play a central role in delivering CareDogs’ fundraising strategy, helping to grow income, strengthen community connections and raise awareness of our work. You will contribute to the development and delivery of creative fundraising initiatives, build relationships with local partners and supporters, and create engaging content that inspires people to get involved.

This is a hands-on, varied role for someone who enjoys both community engagement and communications. With a growing presence in South London, it’s an exciting opportunity to help shape the next stage of CareDogs’ growth and sustainability.

What you’ll do

• Deliver activities and campaigns that support CareDogs’ overall fundraising strategy and income targets.

• Keep the website up to date with news, blogs and community stories, and support monthly newsletter communications via Squarespace and Mailchimp.
   

• Maintain accurate supporter records on our CRM (we use Beacon), updating contact and engagement information regularly.
   

• Utilise Eventbrite to promote events and ensure the charity’s JustGiving Page is up to date with any fundraising campaigns
   

What you’ll get

• Join us as the first person in this new role and help shape its direction as the charity grows. A fantastic opportunity to learn, contribute, and make a real impact.
   

• Be part of a rapidly growing grassroots charity with a mission to reduce loneliness and increase wellbeing.
   

• Support from CareDogs' experienced board members and senior leadership.
   

• A flexible role with the opportunity to mostly work remotely.
   

• 20 days per year annual leave, alongside UK bank holidays (pro-rated for part-time staff), plus an extra day off to celebrate your birthday.
   

• Dog-friendly annual events: Celebrate and connect with your colleagues, and bring your furry friend along!
   

About you

We think you’ll succeed in this role if you:

• Are familiar with the charity sector and best practice when it comes to fundraising
   

• Have experience managing social media channels, including content creation and scheduling, as well as using Canva or similar design software
   

• Have great interpersonal skills and are a persuasive, confident communicator.
