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.

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.

This support is channelled through a combination of individual donors and volunteers and fundraising groups.

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.
