Remote role, with regular travel across West Yorkshire and North East England.
We are Zarach: the children’s bed charity. Our story and our work have captured the nation’s attention, with regular appearances on local and national TV, and with our 2023 Christmas Appeal being supported by The Independent. Our charity was built upon voluntary endeavour and over the last six years we have continued to be incredibly well supported by people who choose to give their time, effort, skills, and experiences as volunteers to our mission of seeking to end child bed poverty in England.
We are honoured and humbled to have people volunteer with us on both a regular and more ad-hoc basis, and across different areas of the work we do. In the coming years we are seeking to respond to the increasing problem of child bed poverty through:
-
Providing more bed bundles to children.
-
Providing additional support for families.

The main geographical areas (whilst not exclusively) of focus for us in the coming period are across the M62 corridor and the North East of England. The postholder would be required to travel across these areas but also beyond this, as we seek to then support more children in areas of greatest need across England in due course.

Are you excited to roll up your sleeves and be part of the growth and evolution of a dynamic anti-poverty charity? Are you adept at building relationships and an outstanding communicator? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
As our Fundraising Officer, you will have the exciting opportunity to make a huge difference in improving the lives of people living in hygiene poverty. Working to secure vital funding for the charity’s work and particularly our volunteer-led projects across the UK, you will work closely with the Senior Volunteer Experience, Communications and Fundraising Manager and Head of Fundraising, Communications and External Engagement. You’ll create new income generation streams, manage trusts and foundations’ bid writing and help deliver all fundraising and stewardship initiatives.
The Hygiene Bank is at a pivotal point in its journey as it embarks on its three-year strategy for growth. The charity has grown rapidly since its creation in 2018 and has exciting plans in its mission to end hygiene poverty. The income generation team will play a critical role in this changing organisation.
If you fit this profile and want to use your talents to improve the lives of people across the UK and are interested in remote working opportunities in a flexible organisation with a values-led ethos, we would love to hear from you!
About The Hygiene Bank
Hygiene poverty is not being able to afford many of the everyday hygiene and personal grooming products most of us take for granted. The reality of low income is that it restricts people’s options, leaving us caught between being able to heat our homes, pay the rent, eat, or be clean. It is washing hair, bodies, faces and clothes in the same cheap washing up liquid used for the dishes. It is not being able to replace a toothbrush when needed or sharing a toothbrush because one each just isn't an option. It is having to choose between shaving foam and razors or the transport fare to a job interview.
Hygiene Poverty is the hidden crisis facing the UK. In 2022, The Hygiene Bank published groundbreaking research into the incidence and impact of hygiene poverty. It found that over 3.1 million adults across the country are currently experiencing hygiene poverty and that it is both alarmingly widespread, increasing and disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable. It stops people from participating in society, feeds the mental health crisis and blocks routes out of poverty. It is simply unjust.
At The Hygiene Bank, we believe that everyone deserves to feel clean. That is why our network of projects exists – to give people access to the basics they need.
Job Description
The Fundraising Officer will be a key member of The Hygiene Bank’s income generation and wider team, with a responsibility to help fulfil the charity’s fundraising plans.
