Are you looking for a role within an organisation where the work you do makes a real difference to people's lives? If the answer is yes than our Community Fundraiser job could be for you.

The NSPCC's mission is to end cruelty to children. Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. We all share it. And it drives our Income Generation team to get out there and bring in the funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse. From our campaigns to our services- we strive to make a difference in everything we do. Within the Income Generation Directorate our aim is to maximise resources for the NSPCC's mission by raising funds, providing the best possible supporter experience, and building long-term relationships between donors and our cause.

To continue to deliver our mission we rely on the support of people across the UK and Channel Islands - over 80% of our income comes from those who choose to give to us. We are looking to significantly grow our income in new and innovative ways. To achieve this growth, we need the very best teams in place to deliver to ambitious targets.

The NSPCC is looking to recruit a dynamic and enthusiastic individual to develop, lead and manage an existing portfolio of fundraising events and initiatives and to recruit new supporters in order to grow income. You will need to be results driven, have excellent communication and relationship building skills, enjoy mixing with a wide range of people, and have an ability to develop and maintain relationships with supporters and staff at all levels.

The NSPCC has a strong presence across the South West with our services for children and young people running from our Together for Childhood Hub in Plymouth. The Community Fundraiser will work closely across various disciplines of fundraising and service delivery, to ensure a collaborative and collegiate approach to income generation in order to maximise opportunities for all.  

One of the defining characteristics of NSPCC fundraising is the support that is provided by volunteers and donors based in the local community. The engagement and development of local relationships is at the heart of the department's strategy, and it is this that provides the foundation that has grown the NSPCC to the place it is today. This support is channelled through a combination of individual donors and volunteers and fundraising groups. To develop more long-term sustainable support and relationships this role will focus on the recruitment of new fundraising groups and stewardship of existing supporters in our focus areas of Plymouth and Exeter.  

As Community fundraiser, not only will the work you do make a real difference to people's lives but opportunity is provided to develop your fundraising experience. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. We want to ensure roles are accessible and inclusive of everyone, which is why the NSPCC offers a high degree of flexibility around ways of working. 

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is at the heart of what we do. At the NSPCC, we understand how important it is that our workforce is representative of the people we support and who support us. We believe that every individual has the right to be their true self and to live a full life without prejudice, fear or barriers. This is the starting point for all our commitments and actions and underpins our commitment to be there for all children. This is why we encourage applications for full-time, part-time, and job share positions. We believe in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, regardless of their work schedule. Join us and be part of a team that values your unique contributions and work-life balance.

Ideally based in and around Plymouth or Exeter the post holder will drive and have access to a vehicle and be required to also travel to other parts of the South West and mainland UK, attending occasional meetings in regional offices including London, Cardiff, Birmingham and other areas when required. 

This position is open to candidates with transferable experience outside of fundraising.
