Job Title: Fundraising Officer (Trusts)

Salary: £16,800 (£28,000 FTE)

Contract: Permanent, 3 days per week (or 22.5hrs per week on another agreed working pattern)

Location: Hybrid, at least one day per week in a Power2 office (London or Ashton-under-Lyne)

Annual Leave: 25 days paid holiday each year (pro-rata)

Power2 is a fast growing and energetic children and young people’s charity that has supported 27,000 young people since 2001. We are based in the North West of England and London and deliver early-intervention asset-based programmes to children and young people who have mental wellbeing challenges and are disengaged from school and more widely. We are well-known for our accredited Teens and Toddlers programme and its variations focusing on mental health, school transitions and physical activity, and are supporting young people via Power2 Rediscover, an intensive 1:1 wellbeing programme.

We believe there is no greater cost to society than unfulfilled potential. We support young people to get the most out of their education by helping them to improve their mental health and wellbeing and develop their skills. We inspire young people who are at significant risk of school exclusion to re-engage and fulfil their potential at school, at work and in life.

We have an opportunity to join our Fundraising Team as Fundraising Officer, raising the funds that enable young people to benefit from our life-changing programmes.
