Salary: £16,800 (£28,000 FTE)

Contract: Permanent, 3 days per week (or 22.5hrs per week on another agreed working pattern)

Location: Hybrid, at least one day per week in a Power2 office (London or Ashton-under-Lyne)

Annual Leave: 25 days paid holiday each year (pro-rata)

 

Power2 is a fast growing and energetic children and young people’s charity that has supported 27,000 young people since 2001. We are based in the North West of England and London and deliver early-intervention asset-based programmes to children and young people who have mental wellbeing challenges and are disengaged from school and more widely. We are well-known for our accredited Teens and Toddlers programme and its variations focusing on mental health, school transitions and physical activity, and are supporting young people via Power2 Rediscover, an intensive 1:1 wellbeing programme.

We believe there is no greater cost to society than unfulfilled potential. We support young people to get the most out of their education by helping them to improve their mental health and wellbeing and develop their skills. We inspire young people who are at significant risk of school exclusion to re-engage and fulfil their potential at school, at work and in life.

We have an opportunity to join our Fundraising Team as Fundraising Officer, raising the funds that enable young people to benefit from our life-changing programmes. 

The majority of the successful candidate’s time will be spent in growing an already established Trusts and Foundations income stream; you will be responsible for writing applications to and managing relationships with small and medium grant-makers (giving up to c.£10k). You will have the autonomy to manage your own portfolio of new and existing funders, with support from the Head of Fundraising, and will support the wider fundraising team with research needs.

This is an exciting time to join the Power2 fundraising team, as we aim to grow and diversify our income sources. The successful candidate will therefore have the opportunity to be involved in the growth and development of new areas of fundraising and to be involved in activities reflecting their own interests and career aspirations.

Direct experience is not essential for this role – more important is that you possess transferable skills and can demonstrate experience in distilling complex information from a range of sources and communicating it in a persuasive, engaging way to different audiences. The successful candidate will therefore have excellent communication skills, be highly numerate and a great team player and collaborator.

We operate hybrid working, and this role can be based at either our London or North-West (Ashton-under-Lyne) office, with at least one day working in the office per week. We offer flexibility as to when the role’s hours are worked, and exact working patterns can be discussed at interview.

To apply please visit our website. On the second page of the application form, please upload a CV and personal statement. Use the personal statement as an opportunity to convince us why your skills and experience make you the right person for this role, paying particular attention to the criteria on the person specification. Applications without a personal statement will not be considered.

Interviews will be held w/c 16 December.

The successful applicants will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check (child workforce) and provide details of two referees.

Power2 strives to be a diverse and inclusive place where we can ALL be ourselves. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.

 

Power2 is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We may undertake an online search if you are shortlisted.

WHO ARE WE?

We were founded in Manchester in 2010, but have been fully remote since 2020 and now have colleagues across the UK and beyond.

Despite this, we understand the importance and benefits of face-to-face contact, and enable this in several ways. This includes optional quarterly meetups, weekly all-company video calls, and paid access to coworking space. 

Values

At Bliss, personal values are as important as experience and skills. If you’re not a good fit for our agency, you won’t enjoy your job, and that’s not good for anyone.

• Be Good
  We look after each other, the planet, and all humankind.
  We’re not selfless, but will choose to do the right thing above all else.
• Be Open
  We are honest and transparent with our colleagues and clients.
  We hope to create friendships from work relationships, gaining trust and respect.
• Be Harmonious
  We work to the same goals even if we don’t agree individually.
  We value collective success as much as we do personal victories.
