About you:
The Supporter Engagement Officer is an integral role in the public fundraising and engagement team, continuing to develop our individual giving income streams and ensuring that our supporters feel valued and understand the amazing impact they have.

The role entails delivering supporter communication journeys across a range of channels and audiences so that we deliver excellent supporter care to all donors ensuring that their relationship with Railway Children is enhanced, their support retained and lifetime value maximised.

Action Around Bethlehem Children with Disability (‘ABCD’) is a small but well-established charity. We are passionate about improving the lives of children with disabilities across Palestine regardless of faith, race or gender.
We are recruiting for the brand new role of Fundraising and Communications Officer. This is an important and exciting point in ABCD’s development, when we seek to develop our profile and supporter base, particularly among younger people in the UK. Over recent years we have been gradually extending the scope of our work in the refugee camps in the West Bank. As we grow, and the demand for our services grows, so have our ambitions to raise much needed funds.
We are looking for a creative and ambitious UK-based person who can effectively convey the life-changing impact of our work, raise the profile of the charity and motivate our growing supporter base to both donate and raise funds for the disadvantaged. You yourself will have the opportunity to grow in the role, as the role itself evolves and the needs of the charity expand over time.
