A fantastic opportunity to join our small but perfectly formed team of passionate change agents who have made a difference to over ½ million children’s lives in Africa so far! As one of the fastest growing small charities in the UK and a leader in the student fundraising sector we need an experienced fundraiser to manage our award winning, innovative international events and fundraising team and develop further income generating opportunities through new and exciting partnerships.

We currently run two highly impactful and ethical, in-house, short-term volunteering projects (The Gorilla Trek and Uganda Volunteer Project). These projects provide an exceptional ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experience for our volunteers and raise valuable funds to enable us to give children a positive childhood through play. In addition to managing these awesome fundraising and volunteering initiatives with student groups, Universities and schools, you will have the responsibility to generate new partnership opportunities with businesses to secure additional income to support our work. To excel in your role, you’re going to need to have vision, ambition and charisma, able to engage people from all walks of life and cultivate genuine, positive relationships with our partners. You’re the type of person that is energised by making things happen, solving problems and creating new opportunities and you can bounce back quickly when things don’t quite go to plan. You will be juggling a lot of balls, so you’ve got to be super organised with great time management skills - able to prioritise effectively and think strategically. You will be representing us publicly, so you need to be professional, reliable, trustworthy and enthusiastic with a great sense of fun. Afterall, our organisation believes in the value of play… not just for children but adults too!

We have some very exciting plans in the pipeline.  Your work will be critical to our success – working closely with the Senior Management Team to ensure we have the funds we need to expand our unique work to 10 countries in the next 10 years and support over 5 million children. So, what are the key tasks that our new Partnerships & Fundraising Manager will be responsible for?

• Plan, manage and develop the international volunteering and fundraising projects – maximising revenues and improving ROI
• Develop an effective donor journey and communications to maintain and grow the long-term support of partners, supporters and donors – ensuring they feel engaged, valued and loved
• Research and identify suitable people/organisations to develop mutually beneficial, bespoke partnerships with
• Organise events to cultivate new partners and support existing ones and raise funds
• Help grow our profile by attending, representing and speaking at high-level events
• Maintain accurate donor and financial records using internal systems including cloud-based CRM system
• Deal with queries from volunteers, supporters, donors, funders and partners
• Support, coach and manage the Fundraising team to help them achieve their objectives and grow as individuals and professionals
• Continuously seek to improve our fundraising & CRM systems and ensure our team complies with all relevant policies

There are a million other things you will need to do to run a successful fundraising team that is committed to maximising our existing fundraising initiatives whilst thriving on generating new opportunities and revenues. Being part of a small team, you’ll be super happy to have other bits and bobs fall into your lap from time to time… to support your colleagues and the charity to achieve its ambitions. You need to love working as part of a dynamic team as well as being able to handle pressure and be super organised. You’re going to speak to a wide range of people and share important information with them, so you need to be a skilled communicator and that includes persuasive writing and public speaking skills. We have partners all across the UK, so you will need a full, clean driving licence and access to a car to be able to visit them as well as a valid passport to nip over to Uganda (and other countries in the future), from time to time. It would be truly wonderful if you have worked in the charity sector before – especially in student fundraising – and have international volunteering experience but your skills, passion for fundraising and attitude are far more important to us.

What Can You Expect From Us?
Not a top of the range Tesla that’s for sure but we can offer you a fun, friendly, rewarding and energising environment where you will be supported to be the best that you can be – knowing that the work you and your team are doing is critical to the massive impact we are having with some of the most vulnerable children in Africa. We’re a small organisation. What you do counts! Think this is the place for you to grow, learn and play? Then get your skates on and get your application in!
