Job description

Are you an enthusiastic volunteer looking for a new role where your work will really make a difference? Could you support an energetic local charity to write applications and secure vital funding?

Read Easy Sheffield is a successful local charity that provides free, confidential, one to-one reading coaching for adults who struggle with reading, affiliated to national charity Read Easy UK. We are currently looking to expand our work and for this we need some more volunteers to join our friendly management team, and we excited to be seeking a new Fundraiser.

The Fundraiser is a vital and interesting role within the Read Easy Sheffield Management Team to secure funding from local organisations, grants and trusts, that are interested in investing directly into their local community. This voluntary position will suit someone who enjoys writing, making new connections and championing what we do. You receive training and support from Read Easy UK to develop your fundraising skills, so while previous experience is desirable, it’s not essential.

This role is a crucial part of the Management Team as funding is essential for Coach training, expenses and resources – so you will play an instrumental part in making sure our group continues to thrive!

- Attending monthly Management Team meetings.

The role is flexible and mainly home-based so you can choose your own hours – you might expect to spend 2 hours a week on this. To get the most from the role, we would hope all Management Team roles would support Read Easy Sheffield for at least one year.

What's in it for you?

- A rewarding role that has a positive impact on people's lives

- Opportunity to meet and work collaboratively with new people

- Training and support to develop your fundraising skills

- As part of the Management Team, you will help shape the direction of the organisation

The skills you will need:

- Knowledge and previous experience of fundraising is desirable, though not essential.

- A willingness to seek out potential sources of funding.

- Good negotiating and influencing skills.

- Excellent written communication skills to write successful applications.

- Reasonable confidence in using IT.

- The ability to use initiative and work independently.

- A willingness to abide by Read Easy policies and procedures.

- An open attitude that encourages two-way communication and willingness to ask for

ands offer support to the Team.

- A non-judgemental attitude and respect for others, with a commitment to equality and

diversity, so that you can make everyone feel valued and included.
