OVERVIEW AND JOB PURPOSE
Pump Aid is a dynamic, award winning and growing organisation, which is promoting a radically different approach to aid and development in the WASH sector by establishing Malawi’s first social impact business (Beyond Water) focused on delivering reliable access to clean water for rural communities. We challenge conventional development programmes by taking a business-based approach that ensures long term sustainability and impact for the communities we work with. Clean water results in better health, increases educational attainment and reduces inequality for women and girls across Malawi.
To support our mission we are recruiting a Communications and Fundraising Officer to help deliver on our ambitious growth plans to reach 2 million people by 2030. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated person with strong communication and interpersonal skills, who can plan and create compelling communications to increase awareness of our work and engage new and existing supporters. Furthermore, you will lead on key areas of our fundraising strategy including annual fundraising campaigns, individual giving and small trusts and foundations.
Roles and Responsibilities
- You will lead on defined elements of Pump Aid’s fundraising strategy: scoping, applications, reporting and management (to largely small to medium sized trusts and foundations, community funders and individuals.)
- You will develop and manage a schedule of compelling communications across a number of channels including social media, web and print that will grow engagement with Beyond Water’s mission.
- You will support the Head of Development to pitch to social impact and philanthropic investors by finding creative ways to differentiate ourselves from traditional approaches to international development.
- You will take responsibility for managing and administrating fundraising income, using Salesforce CRM to keep up to date records of donations, keeping donors updated through regular reports and leveraging annual campaigns including the Big Give Christmas Campaign to maximise individual giving donations.
- Maximise the value and duration of donor support through excellent stewardship and relationship management.
- While office hours are notionally 9:00am to 5:30pm, the demands of a business focussed on Africa, with donors in the UK, USA, Europe and Asia mean a degree of flexibility is required.
Candidate Profile
1. Strong experience in planning and executing communications plans across a variety of mediums (social media, website, blog posts, impact reports) to grow awareness and engagement with the work of our social enterprise
2. Demonstrable success in fundraising within the charity sector; scoping, prospecting, proposal writing and reporting.
3. Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the confidence to present to a variety of audiences
4. Experienced in home working and able to self-motivate and develop and execute personal work and action plans with limited face to face supervision
5. Demonstrable ability to prioritise and manage conflicting outcomes and objectives and ensure the right job is completed at the right time
6. Works well in a small, dynamic team
7. High level of computer literacy – Canva, Microsoft Office, Salesforce or similar CRM software
8. Well organised and can prioritise work to meet deadlines
9. Experience working in international development is preferable.
10. Right to work in the UK
We will be reviewing applications and inviting promising candidates to interview on a rolling basis

About Beyond the Streets
A wonderful opportunity exists to join the energetic, friendly, and talented Beyond the Streets staff team, dedicated to achieving the aim of living in a UK where women aren’t compelled to sell sex; free from coercion, violence, poverty, and other abuses. We also work towards the aim of ensuring that those that are involved in selling sex can access effective services without experiencing barriers such as stigma, a lack of understanding, and judgemental attitudes.
The charity formed over 20 years ago, and we’re now a leading specialist within our theme. Beyond the Streets works in 2 key areas:
1) Direct Support: We provide direct support for women involved in selling sex via two frontline services: 1) Beyond Support, based in Southampton (a national remote telephone service offering long-term 1:1 support with trained Women’s Support Worker); 2) Door of Hope, based in east London supporting women involved in selling sex on street via street outreach, drop-ins, advocacy to gain/maintain access to services, 1:1 Psychotherapy sessions, and 1:1 long-term support
2) Impact Work: We run training courses for third sector / statutory professionals to increase awareness and educate on women’s support needs. In partnership we produce research and resources and reports, involving lived experience voices, to support better access to services for women and encourage systemic change. We also host an affiliate network of 30+ organisations nationwide.
About the role…
We’re looking for someone with energy, motivation, and experience to be able to make an instant and vital impact on the organisation; someone who can understand the big picture, has good attention to detail and can make things happen.

The position will report to the Grants Manager and work closely with the Comms and Marketing Officer as well as beside the wider Beyond the Streets team.
You’ll need…
- experience of writing compelling copy to inspire people to donate
- experience of working in a charity fundraising environment
- experience of leading on digital fundraising events/campaigns and community fundraising appeals
- understanding of violence against women & girls and be passionate about making a difference
- strong interpersonal skills so you’ll quickly build rapports with internal and external stakeholders
- to be a self-motivator as well as keen collaborator, who enjoys working within a team and thrives on achieving goals
- to be a creative thinker, who is solution focused, with a natural attention to detail
Sometimes, research shows that particularly women will not apply for a job if they don’t meet all the criteria. Therefore if you’re interested in the role but only meet some and not all the criteria, we’d love for you to apply! You may be the person who is the best fit for our team and this role; we wouldn’t want you or us to miss out!
All those that are shortlisted and invited to interview will receive a pre-interview pack that will include an introduction to the friendly interview panel and the list of questions that they will be asking.
Genuine Occupational Requirement (GOR)
Due to nature of this role involving engaging with women around the subject of violence against women, this post is restricted to female applicants under Section 9 of the Equality Act 2010.
You’ll enjoy…

We are looking for a candidate who has the necessary skills and experience to fulfil the following role:
MAIN DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
