Fundraising Officer – Corporate & Community Partnerships

Help us build fantastic partnerships, grow our fundraising and create more inclusive opportunities for disabled children and young people.

Join a small charity with big ambitions and play a key role in shaping our future. Bring your ideas, build relationships and help us make a real difference!

About F⁶IT

F⁶IT (pronounced 'fit') is an inclusive disability charity supporting disabled children and young people aged 0–25 and their families to access sport, recreation and social opportunities they are often excluded from.

We believe every disabled child and young person should have the opportunity to participate, connect and thrive alongside their siblings, friends and peers. We work to break down the physical, social and attitudinal barriers that can prevent this from happening.

We're a growing charity with big ambitions, and we're looking for someone who shares our passion for creating a more inclusive world.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join our small, close-knit team and help shape the future of F⁶IT's fundraising.

Working closely with our Fundraising Manager, you'll play an important role in developing our corporate and community fundraising, building fantastic relationships and generating income to help us reach more families.

You'll have plenty of opportunity to bring your own ideas, take the initiative and develop new fundraising opportunities. From connecting with local businesses and community groups to developing partnerships, supporting fundraising initiatives and coordinating events, this is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are quite the same.

You'll also help nurture our relationships with existing supporters, encourage new people to get involved and support the volunteers who play such an important part in our fundraising.

We're a small, fun and supportive team, so we're looking for someone who enjoys getting stuck in, working collaboratively and being flexible as opportunities arise.

Are you…?

• A natural relationship-builder who enjoys connecting with people?

• Creative and proactive, with a talent for spotting opportunities?

• Organised, reliable and great at juggling priorities?

• An enthusiastic team player with a flexible, can-do attitude?

• Passionate about creating inclusive opportunities for disabled children and young people?

If so, we'd love to hear from you!

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone with experience in fundraising, community or corporate engagement, supporter relationships or a similar role involving relationship-building and income generation.

You'll need excellent communication and organisational skills, confidence working with a range of people, good attention to detail and the ability to manage your own workload.

Above all, you'll share our values, believe in what we're trying to achieve and be excited about helping a growing charity make an even bigger difference. 

You don't need to tick every box to apply. If you feel you have the right attitude, skills and enthusiasm for the role, we'd love to hear from you.

The details

• Hours: Part-time, 20–25 hours per week (flexible working arrangements).

• Salary: £28,000–£32,000 FTE (£14,933–£21,333 per annum pro rata, depending on hours and experience)

• Location: Home-based, with regular travel to meetings, events and F⁶IT activities across the local area. Due to the nature of the role, a full, valid driving licence and access to a car are essential.

• Working pattern: Some evening and weekend work will be required.

Why join F⁶IT?

We're a small, close-knit team led by our CEO, Laura Baxter, supported by an engaged Board of Trustees and Advisory Group.

Joining us at this stage of our growth offers a fantastic opportunity to help shape and develop the organisation in a way that a similar role in a larger charity might not offer.

You'll be joining a friendly, fun and supportive team where everyone plays a part in our growth and where your ideas, relationships and contribution really matter.
