Fundraising and Partnerships Assistant

If you have a customer-focused mindset, experience of managing events, and a knack for building relationships, we have an opportunity to join our passionate and driven Fundraising team on an initial 12 month contract.

The pandemic pet boom, poor breeding practices and the rising cost of living mean that rehoming centres, like Bath Cats and Dogs Home, are contending with unprecedented numbers of animals with complex medical and behavioural problems. 

Now, more than ever, we need the support of the community around us to ensure that every cat and dog has the opportunity to enjoy a healthy life and a happy home.

The Fundraising and Partnerships Assistant will support the Corporate Partnerships Manager and the wider Fundraising Team to deliver and develop our engaging programme of events, and exceptional supporter care and stewardship.

In return, you’ll play a key role in a passionate and driven team. You’ll work across the charity and immerse yourself in the world of animal welfare, in order to provide a first-class experience for our supporters.

We commit to being kind, inspirational, dedicated, open and honest, and expert. If our values match your own, and you are inspired by the work that we do, then we’d love to hear from you.
