Fundraising Manager Jobs in Chichester

Pratham is one of the largest and most respected education charities in India. We developed a model that can teach a child to read and do basic maths in as little as 30 days for £14. We also have preschool, vocational and women's education programmes. We work closely with JPAL who have run a number of RCTs on our work, and it was also recomended as just one of three smart buys by the What Works Hub for Global Education.

We have strong support from the UK Indian diaspora and are in a period of significant growth, having tripled in size in three years. We now raise £1.5m a year and are ambitious to at least triple again. 

While you will work in a small, fully remote team daily, you will be part of the global Pratham network. The team in India has over 6,000 staff, and they raise $28m locally. Pratham USA has 14 chapters and produces around 12 galas annually, contributing to its $30m income. We have recently launched Pratham International, and we will work with them to reach more children worldwide in the years ahead.

The  Senior Grants Manager is a key strategic role focused on securing large grants for Pratham’s flagship Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) program and vocational training work in India, while also supporting Pratham International’s expanding global initiatives.

You will play a vital role in building meaningful relationships with institutional donors, trusts, and foundations across the UK and Europe. With a strong evidence base underpinning our programs and global recognition of Pratham’s impact, this role offers significant scope for both growth and influence.

Children Not Numbers is a medico-legal NGO dedicated to supporting the children of Gaza through medical evacuations, rehabilitation, advocacy, and education.

While the ceasefire has paused 15 months of devastation, the humanitarian crisis persists, and our work remains as critical as ever. Children still need urgent medical care, long-term rehabilitation, and a global community advocating for their rights.

We are seeking a freelance Social Media Community Manager to support our content creation, audience engagement, and campaign amplification. This contract is ideal for someone with at least one year of experience in social media management, looking for a flexible, project-based role in the humanitarian sector.

Founders – for key messaging and organisational priorities.

Fundraising Lead – for campaign coordination and content alignment.

Volunteers and in-country colleagues in Gaza – for access to relevant updates and media.

External partners (e.g., photojournalists, influencers) – for sourcing visual content.

This contract requires someone who is proactive, creative, and highly organised, able to balance planned content with real-time updates as relevant events unfold.

Flexibility will be required to engage with stakeholders across different time zones and in response to unfolding events – some evening and weekend work.

Key Deliverables

• Develop and maintain a weekly content calendar for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, in line with agreed priorities.
• Create and schedule engaging content, including written posts, graphics, and short-form videos that support fundraising and advocacy efforts.
• Monitor and manage community engagement, ensuring that responses are timely, appropriate, and aligned with Children Not Numbers’ messaging.
• Support the Fundraising Lead with campaign delivery, helping to amplify fundraising appeals, events, and advocacy initiatives.
• Track and report on key social media metrics, offering insights and small optimisations to improve reach and engagement.

Contractor Requirements

Essential

• At least 1 years’ experience in a social media management or content creation role.
• Experience using social media scheduling tools (e.g., Buffer, Hootsuite).
• Strong copywriting, storytelling, and content creation skills, with attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks, delivering work to an agreed schedule.
• Passion for humanitarian issues, human rights, or international development.
• Ability to manage workload flexibly, including responding to key events and social media activity outside standard working hours when necessary.

Desirable

• Experience working in a NGO, charity or advocacy organisation.
• Familiarity with fundraising, digital marketing, or online campaigns.
• Experience running paid social media promotions.
• Fluency in Arabic (spoken and written) is an advantage but not essential.

This contract is outside IR35 regulations, meaning the contractor is responsible for managing their own tax, National Insurance contributions, and compliance with relevant tax laws.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis so please apply ASAP. We are working with Laura Macnamara at QuarterFive Recruitment for this appointment. Laura will contact applicants who meet the person specification via email to arrange a call.

About Dogs for Good

Inspired by the way her own dogs instinctively wanted to help, our founder, Frances Hay set up the charity in 1986.
