Community Fundraising Officer

This role is focused on creating opportunities to fundraise within our local communities and to raise money through community engagement and third party fundraising.  The postholder will be expected to spend time out in the local community.

With just seven NHS ambulance charities across the UK this is a rare opportunity to be part of a developing ambulance charity. We are the charitable arm of South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. This is a regional role covering key counties SCAS serve (Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire).

The role of Community Fundraising Officer is an important link between the NHS charity, the communities we support and our large cohort of over 750 volunteers. The Community Fundraising Officer for the Charity will be expected to actively support the current strategy to raise funds for the Charity’s key objectives and to support our communications plan both internally and externally. 

We will close the advert as soon as we reach the required number of applications – so don’t delay apply now!

The Charity is ambitious to grow the support it can give SCAS in funding projects, equipment and programmes that are not funded by the NHS.  The role of Community Fundraising Officer is key to us achieving this by raising unrestricted funds through an engaging community fundraising programme. 

We are looking for someone who:

• Enjoys working as part of a small team and is ambitious to learn and achieve new income for the charity.
• Is interested in inspiring people in our area to fundraise through proactive engagement within the community.
• Is self-motivated and able to work on their own initiative.
• Has experience of working with fundraising CRM databases & Microsoft Office skills.
• Enjoys organising and planning.
• Can see the bigger picture and think outside of the box.

The successful candidate must be able to prioritise workload and manage own time effectively to meet deadlines while ensuring good working relationships with donors, volunteers, and colleagues.  There is an expectation that the postholder will spend around 70% of their time out in the community.
