This is a senior role, reporting to the Head of Communications, Fundraising and Advocacy. It will involve contributing to our long-term fundraising strategy and identifying new funding opportunities, as well as delivering a range of initiatives including sponsored events, appeals, and legacy campaigns.
We are seeking someone with a positive and ambitious approach towards fundraising challenges, bringing creativity and energy.
The post will be part of our integrated Communications, Fundraising and Advocacy team. As well as working closely with every other member of the team, it will also involve collaborating with our wider staff team, to effectively understand our funding needs and convey these to potential donors.
We are therefore seeking someone with excellent teamwork skills, who will bring new experience and expertise, while working effectively with colleagues to strengthen our fundraising.
JRS UK places high value on encouraging refugee participation in our fundraising, and the Senior Fundraising Officer will play a key part in ensuring this.
We are seeking someone with a proven track-record in fundraising. Much of our fundraising involves engagement with the Catholic community including parishes and religious orders. A good understanding of this landscape is therefore essential.

Refuge is the largest domestic abuse organisation in England. On any given day, our services support thousands of women and their children, helping them to overcome the physical, emotional, financial, and logistical impacts of abuse and rebuild their lives — free from fear.
Domestic abuse can be difficult to recognise. It’s complex. And it’s becoming even more so. Perpetrators are finding new ways to control, harass, and intimidate women. So what we do demands expertise as well as dedication. And we’ve worked hard to build both over 50 years. We’ve developed and expanded our services, from refuges to community support to specialist guidance. We’ve raised awareness, challenged attitudes, and campaigned for changes in law and policy. And we continue to collaborate across our sector.
We are looking for a new Chief Executive Officer to work with the Board of Trustees and senior leadership team to lead the organisation through Refuge’s next strategic phase, reshape the strategy and ensure all aspects of our work are laser-focused on achieving the vision. Capable of bringing together survivors, staff, trustees, external partners and wider supporters, you will galvanise those around you to imagine a world free from domestic abuse and steer us closer to it. You will be responsible for leading all aspects of our success, drawing on your deep experience to ensure above all that our services are safe, effective and survivor-led.
Inspiring and dynamic, you will bring experience in a similar role, including running a complex organisation with a substantial change agenda and front-line operations and will have a strong commitment to feminism, empowerment, support and equality.
Please note this post is restricted to women due to the nature of the role. The Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.
Closing date: 09.00 a.m on Monday 7th October 2024.
