About Us

Forever Young People CIC delivers relationship-led community programmes across Hertfordshire, currently anchored by our community youth projects and our Dot to Dot mum and baby group. We're part of the wider Forever Young People family, which has spent years building trust-based, relationship-first work with young people and families across the county.

We're at a turning point: our CIC has a real track record and real potential, but no one whose full-time job it is to lead it. That's where you come in.

The Role

We're looking for someone to take genuine ownership of the CIC — its strategy, its funding, and its future programmes — reporting directly to our CEO. You'll line-manage our Trusts & Foundations fundraising consultant, decide which funding opportunities to pursue, and build the relationships and programmes that take the CIC beyond what we've already started.

This isn't a role where you'll be handed a finished playbook. It's a role for someone who wants to build one.

You'll:

• Set the CIC's strategic direction, in partnership with our CEO
• Own our funding pipeline and manage our fundraising consultant
• Spot and develop new community programmes rooted in genuine local need
• Support our existing Programmes as they continue to grow
• Build the relationships — funders, partners, commissioners — that the CIC's future depends on

About You

You don't need to have done exactly this job before — but you do need to have done something like it. You're someone who can set a strategy and still get your hands dirty. You've probably managed a freelancer or consultant before. You've built relationships with funders or partners when resources were tight, not abundant. And most importantly, you actually want to build something — not just keep an existing programme ticking over.

Experience with trusts and foundations fundraising, youth or family support work, or a background moving from a founder-led organisation toward distributed leadership would all be a bonus, though none are essential.

The Details

• Hours: 3 days/week to start, with planned growth in days as the CIC's income and pipeline grow
• Salary: £26,000–£30,000 FTE, pro-rata for 3 days/week, depending on experience
• Reports to: CEO, Ashley Howard
• Manages: Trusts & Foundations Fundraising Consultant; future CIC staff as the team grows
• Contract: Senior staff role — not a statutory company director

About Us

Foodrise is a charity transforming the food system for climate, nature and justice. 

We take bold action to uncover the root causes of injustice in our food system and expose how corporate power exploits people and the planet, while building truly just and resilient alternatives from the ground-up.

We speak truth to power. We take risks. We act where and when others won’t.

From launching legal action and producing hard-hitting research to working directly with local communities, we drive systemic change across food and farming, powered by grassroots energy and backed by the facts.

We exist to say what others won’t, do what others don’t, and never settle for “it can’t be done”. Change is possible, and we are rising to make it happen.

We are based in the UK and the Netherlands. See more about us on our website.

Could you build relationships that help change lives?

Shiloh Rotherham is looking for a Community Fundraiser who is passionate about people, great at building relationships and excited by the opportunity to make a real difference.

For more than 30 years, Shiloh has been supporting adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Rotherham. We provide a safe, welcoming place where people can access practical support, advice, health and wellbeing services, skills and training, and opportunities to move towards a better future.

We are now entering an exciting new chapter as we launch our new three-year strategic plan, and we are looking for someone who can help us grow our income, our profile and our community of supporters.

About the role

As our Community Fundraiser, you will play a key role in developing and growing Shiloh’s fundraising across Rotherham and South Yorkshire.

This is a relationship-driven role. You will connect with individuals, community groups, schools and colleges, local organisations and businesses, inspiring them to get involved with Shiloh and become long-term supporters.

You will have the opportunity to be creative and develop new fundraising ideas, while also nurturing the relationships we already have. From community fundraising events and supporter-led activities to corporate partnerships, campaigns and sponsorship opportunities, you will help turn connections into meaningful support for Shiloh.

You will also work closely with our CEO and wider team to communicate the difference Shiloh makes, share impact stories and ensure our supporters understand how their contribution is helping people move forward.

About you

We are looking for someone who is confident, proactive and passionate about building relationships. You will have at least two years’ experience in community fundraising or a similar relationship-based role, together with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Knowledge of fundraising within the charitable or voluntary sector, donor stewardship, fundraising codes of practice, GDPR, CRM systems and Google Workspace would be an advantage.

A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are desirable, as the role will involve travelling across South Yorkshire.

Why join Shiloh?

This is an opportunity to join a charity with more than 30 years of experience and impact in Rotherham, at an exciting point in our development. You will be joining a supportive, values-driven team where relationships really matter and where your work will directly contribute to helping people facing homelessness.

We offer:

• 25 days’ annual leave

• 6% employer pension contribution after three months

• Hybrid and flexible working options

• Opportunities for training and personal development

Our values

Our values of Empowerment, Partnership, Inclusivity and Respect are at the heart of everything we do.

Shiloh was founded in 1992 on Christian beliefs. While the values of the Christian faith remain at the heart of our work, our support is open to everyone. You do not need to be a Christian to work for Shiloh, but you will need to demonstrate empathy with our vision, values and mission.
