Full-Time Community Fundraising Manager Jobs

Emmaus Bristol is a local homelessness charity and part of the international movement of Emmaus communities.

We are looking for a Head of Buildings to lead on the maintenance and improvement of our existing premises as well as playing a role in acquiring new buildings – whether renting a shop or building homes.

Emmaus Bristol is a fabulous place to work and you leave every day with the satisfaction that your hard work has helped people out of homelessness. Emmaus is different to other homeless charities in that staff work alongside formerly homeless residents, known within Emmaus as Companions. So as well as working as part of our employee team, you’d also work alongside Companions and other volunteers.

If you would know exactly what to do or who to call if the Social Enterprise Manager reported a leak in the eco holiday pods, the Support Team Manager needed you for an HMO inspection and you’d feel excited to be involved in developing new homes, then this job is for you!

As we are a small charity, the variety of work in one role is huge! This could appeal to you and you’d make it work full time. Alternatively, you’d like to work part time and employ other team members to fill the gaps. We are open to both approaches.

The key requirements are that you know buildings and building work inside out, you are confident and capable, and you can lead a team. This is a new role and it will really suit someone who can shape the role and run with it.

Summary

The newly scoped CEO role in our vision-focussed charity is one of many challenges. Despite having doubled its outputs in the last 2 years, the charity acknowledges there is still a great job of work to do to prepare itself for even greater demand in its services - without necessarily a proportionate increase in its budgets. This role is about leading and enabling the incredible team of people on to even greater levels of already-strong performance. So we're looking for an accomplished leader and not just a great manager. We're looking for someone who can lead from both the front - and from within. This will be someone who is as comfortable sitting and engaging with our beneficiaries - primarily homeless people and those with previous convictions, as they are creating and delivering highly polished, compelling public event and funder and stakeholder-focussed presentations. We are looking for someone who understands the balance of external and internal focus required to ensure both good governance and team wellbeing (as they work in often challenging circumstances) and the ambition to keep developing existing and new external partnerships. With a strong start to its ambitious Corporate Partnership programme, commercial and/or business experience is highly desirable as well as a proven track record in creating and optimising new funding channels.
