Reporting to our Executive Director, with mentoring from our Communications Lead, you'll gain hands-on experience across the full range of fundraising and communications activity, including:
- Supporting our individual giving, community and events fundraising strategy
- Building relationships with donors and community fundraisers
- Helping organise fundraising and stewardship events
- Producing fundraising materials and campaign content
- Contributing to social media, our website and quarterly newsletters
- Maintaining accurate donor and gift aid records on our CRM

- A flexible, home-based role in a small, friendly charity where your contributions genuinely matter
- Generous annual leave
Who we're looking for
We're after someone with a genuine interest in fundraising or the third sector, strong written and verbal communication skills, and the confidence to work independently in a home-based role.
