Join Our Fundraising Team ! 

At Scripture Union, we’re looking for two experienced and driven fundraisers to join our team. The fundraising team work to a target of around £2m per year, generated from a range of channels and segments. We’re looking for two more people to grow this team as we expand our mission to reveal Jesus to the younger generations in England and Wales. 

About the roles    

We’re looking for two fundraisers to tackle the following areas: 

• Individual Giving, working to maintain and grow our portfolio of donors giving between £10pa -  £1,500 pa each.

• Fundraising Innovation, coming up with fresh new ideas that will generate more income for the mission that take us beyond our tried and tested fundraising activities. 

Between them, the two roles account for 1.8 FTE, and we’re flexible about how that’s allocated. It could be that both roles work 4.5 days a week each, or one full time and the other four days. We’re open to suggestions as we seek the right candidates for the team.

The salary for both roles will be £31,500 - £34,800  per annum for an FTE. 

What You'll Do  

• Individual Giving: Grow income from individual donors through the management of campaigns, regular giving and invitations to increase gifts from general individual donors and mid-level donors. Work to acquire and retain new donors and reactivate lapsed donors. 

• Fundraising Innovation: Develop, trial and implement new and innovative approaches to income generation, contributing to our annual target through new strategic ideas. Work with the fundraising team to ensure these activities align with our fundraising strategy and relationships with grant making trusts, major donors and legacy income. 

Why Scripture Union  

• Hybrid working (minimum 1 day/week in Milton Keynes HQ)  

• Flexible hours (full-time or part-time from 29 hours/week)  

• Generous benefits: 23 days holiday + bank holidays + 5 volunteering days, up to 12% pension contribution, life insurance, and enhanced family leave.

• Please note that we do not provide visa sponsorship arrangements so applicants will need to have the right to live and be employed in a permanent job in the UK. 

Who We're Looking For: Our Ideal Candidate    

Some say that Scripture Union’s supporters are the best in the world. We’re inclined to agree, though we do admit we’re probably biased. We’re looking for two individuals to join our fundraising team who will be committed to championing and supporting our existing donors and extending the invitation to others, and who can bring fresh new approaches to how we generate income. 

We think the right people will be

• Relationship Driven: You work to identify, build and maintain positive long-term relationships with donors, colleagues and contacts. 

• Results Oriented: You set challenging yet realistic goals and objectives and strive to achieve them within an agreed timescale 

• Concerned for Excellence: You drive consistently towards excellence and improvement in your work.

You’ll have relevant qualifications and/or experience in fundraising, with a demonstrable track record of maintaining and increasing gift income.

As with all our team members, you will also:   

• Be a committed Christian who resonates with Scripture Union's mission and values, actively participating in a local church community.    

• Strive for a strong understanding of the Bible, applying its teachings to your daily life and inspiring others to do the same.
