About Us
 

Since 1997 Off The Fence Trust has been supporting the homeless of Brighton and Hove to get out of social and spiritual poverty.

We started as a husband and wife team with a few friends trying to help Brighton’s homeless population but such is our mission and the quality of our work that eventually we grew to over 70 volunteers from local churches and other denominations. We provide signposting to areas and services where people can get help.

We have a fantastic mission: to resist poverty, empower people, and restore hope for the disadvantaged in Brighton & Hove.

Brighton can be a beautiful, creative hub with a multitude of successes culturally, economically and socially. However, we must never forget those who slip through the cracks or fall behind as social stragglers and that’s why our work is so important.

We are now looking for a Corporate and Events Lead to join our team and support our income generation activity.

The Benefits

- Salary of £23,000 per annum F/T (or pro-rata for P/T)
- 5 weeks’ holiday per annum plus Bank Holidays

Joining a team of highly motivated and friendly individuals within this Christian charity, you will discover a creative and interactive role that manages events, corporate relationships and associated comms to generate revenue, awareness and support.

It’s a vital position within our organisation and will enable us to continue our critical work and support more people than ever. In a post-pandemic world, we need to make sure the most vulnerable are given the support and tools they require to get back on their feet and make successful lives for themselves, and their journey starts with a conversation with one of our team.

So, if you are a talented marketing professional with great PR and digital skills, have the drive to make things happen and are eager to make a real difference to homelessness in Brighton and Hove, this is the role for you.

The Role

As a Corporate and Events Lead, you will take on an outward-looking role generating awareness and support for our organisation from businesses throughout Sussex.

This is a key role in the Income Generation and Comms team and feeds into the revenue plan. You will generate initiatives, networking and partnerships alongside creating and managing fundraising events.

#YourPreciousLife

Sebastian's Action Trust is a registered charity providing specialist respite holidays and practical and emotional support to seriously-ill children and their families.  We walk alongside families of life-limited and seriously-ill children from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

The charity was formed in 2004 to fulfil the last wish of nine-year-old Sebastian Gates to build a holiday home that would give other children a chance to enjoy precious time with their families.  Our respite holiday house, The Bluebells, opened in July 2011and is now welcoming families with very sick children from all over the country. Although The Bluebells remains at the core of our charitable activity, since 2004 we have developed an outreach service across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey, which is supported by additional specialists in childcare, finance and welfare, wellbeing and bereavement. Ever increasing demand for our services has led us to replicate our model in Berkshire, where we are currently completing a second outreach/respite centre, called The Woodlands.
