Programme Manager Jobs in Remote

Could you build and support a fundraising community to help tackle health inequalities for people affected by cancer in the North West?

Are you passionate about the power of communities to make real change happen through fundraising?

Working for a leading cancer charity as their brand-new Regional Fundraiser, you'll help schools, community groups, individual volunteers and local businesses to fund world-class research. Through award-winning, high-impact campaigns, you'll challenge the cause, improve the care and find the cure for cancer.

Salary: £29-34k (able to appoint across the band)
Contract: Permanent, either full time, part-time or reduced hours
Location: Homebased, with regular travel across your local patch (and team meetings held in Liverpool)
Benefits: 25 days (+ bank and Christmas closure), 5% employer pension contribution
Culture: Flexible, supportive, able to work with autonomy

About the charity

Living in the North West, we're 25% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than elsewhere in the UK and many cancers are much more common across the region. The region also suffers from extreme social-deprivation and health inequalities which, when combined, lead to a lower-than-average life-expectancy and poorer quality of life for our communities.

Community fundraising is an important vehicle to challenge this - by raising money and awareness.

There are two roles in the team - one full time and one part-time. Regions could be either Greater Manchester, Lancashire or North Wales - you'll be homebased with travel across the patch to meet supporters.

We're flexible on how the region is split, depending on where talented people live.

What will I be fundraising for?

Recent fundable projects include a groundbreaking annual Regional Report on cancer and the innovative Lab-Coat Learning education programme for the region's schools.

You'll act as the face of the charity out in the community, spreading the word about how fundraising can drive positive change. You'll develop relationships with volunteer fundraisers, community groups and local businesses, encouraging and motivating them to fundraise.

You'll deliver interactive presentations, activities and outreach sessions at schools and volunteer groups, offering support, advice and guidance on how people can supercharge their fundraising.

About you

You join a passionate and well-established fundraising team, who genuinely care about and support one another.

Key attributes we're looking for in our new Regional Fundraiser:

• Experience working in a face-to-face role, either fundraising, sales, account or volunteer management.
• Engaging presentation skills, able to inspire people to take action.
• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
• A self-motivated individual, capable of working independently and as part of a team.
• Target-driven, comfortable and confident working with achievable KPIs and targets.
• A team player, someone who brings the best out in other people.
• Flexibility to attend fundraising events, including some evenings and weekends.
• Ability to travel independently across the North West.

If you're driven by making a difference in the fight against cancer, then step forward: we'd absolutely love to hear from you.

Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the first step.
