Home based (Global)

Supporter Engagement at Animals Asia is expanding providing a rare chance to join our incredible team.  The Case for Support and Impact Manager is a new but vital role. It’s the role that turns some of the most ground-breaking animal welfare work in the world into products that donors want to fund. You will ensure our global fundraising team has information readily available that will help secure gifts and retain donors. It’s an exciting role that will require regular engagement with our programme team so you will often be the first person to hear of all the incredible work taking place on the ground – and it’ll be your job to write this up in a compelling, accurate way.  You’ll prepare annual cases for support and also quarterly progress reports across our wide programme areas covering the end of bear bile farming, ending elephant riding in Vietnam and ending the eating of cat and dog meat in Asia.

You’ll also manage the financial side of things – ensuring our products are priced accurately and all fundraisers are aware of all outgoing bids. This role would be ideal for somebody with a background in trust fundraising but that’s not essential. What is vital is that you can tell a story in a way that wins hearts and minds. You’ll need a heart for writing, but a head for numbers. You’ll be able to find your way confidently and efficiently around spreadsheets, often demystifying quite complex sets of accounts. As this role is home based, you will need to be one of life’s natural go-getters, full of drive, initiative and hunger.  If you love animals and fundraising, this is an absolute dream of a role in a charity that is loved by donors and employees around the world.  Join our family… be part of the end game.

Music in Detention brings music-making to migrants in the UK’s immigration detention system.  We bring skilled artists together with detainees to create and share music, supporting them to rediscover and restate their sense of self, and to enhance their wellbeing and agency within what can often seem like a hopeless environment.  We also work with communities surrounding detention centres to collaboratively create music between detainees and residents, facilitating dialogue and helping to change pervasive attitudes towards migrants in the UK.   

Communications and marketing have increased steadily in importance for our work in recent years, and are central to the delivery of our strategic aims.  In the last few years we have developed the strategic frame for our communications work and our capacity to deliver on that strategy, which has three main aims:

• Growing MID’s brand and reach
• Support for fundraising (individual giving)
• Marketing and promotion of our artistic programme and events

Lived experience of the detention and/or immigration system will be an asset in your application.  The ability to create compelling content in collaboration with people who have been detained, enabling them to tell their stories as they wish, and offering them support and editorial control, is essential.

Application is by application form.  The deadline is 1.00pm on Wednesday 10th February.
