We pride ourselves on being a values-driven organisation, and we’re looking for a likeminded fundraiser to join the team in this new role.
Blending storytelling with statistics, events management with stakeholder engagement, and research with data protection, this varied role would be ideal for someone with an interest in criminal justice who communicates as well in person as they do on paper.
You don’t need to have been a fundraiser before, but experience in a similar position – with that mix of relationship building, words and numbers – would be beneficial.
Research tells us that marginalised groups of people may not apply for jobs unless they meet 100% of the criteria. We also know that fundraisers come from many backgrounds with different experiences that might not seem “standard” – and that’s okay! We value people who bring unique perspectives and knowledge to our team.
You might not feel like you check all the boxes as you read this job pack. That could be because of impostor syndrome or a confidence gap, especially if you’ve been marginalised or excluded in the past. But we hope you’ll apply anyway because what’s most important to us is having shared values and attitudes to work – the rest we can work on through our culture of feedback and development.
