Job description

Arts Therapies UK (formerly Birmingham Centre for Arts Therapies) has been able to support the mental health needs of Birmingham and the surrounding areas for over 30 years now. However, we have launched an ambitious 5 year business plan to increase our overall delivery by 600%, and our turnover to exceed the £1 million mark. 

Therefore, we are looking for an experienced Corporate and Communities Fundraiser to take the lead in this new role. This will be a challenging role where you will be creating something brand new and innovative. You will be working alongside a small but dedicated team who are all incredibly ambitious.

Benefits for you: 

• hybrid and flexible working: minimum of 1 office day a month (2nd Friday of the month) for this role - this will increase to 2 out of 5 days if the role becomes full-time and permanent. 
• 12.5 days annual leave plus bank holidays (following a successful probation) and increasing with time served.
• 30 days paid sick leave (following a successful probation).
• Dog-friendly office.
• relaxed hours over the Christmas period.
• the opportunity to shape your career at Arts Therapies UK. 

This role is ideal for anybody with a successful record in fundraising, and who is seeking a new challenge for professional development.
