- Strong organisational skills with attention to detail for accurate record-keeping and data collection.
- A proven track record in successful fundraising, with the ability to contribute to and lead fundraising initiatives.
- Proficiency in using IT for record-keeping, communication, and social media.
Desirable Attributes:
- Experience working with diverse client groups including families, individuals over 18, and prison leavers.
Qualifications:
