Job context and purpose
We are looking for a compassionate and creative human to become an essential part of our Fundraising team, supporting us in achieving our fundraising strategy and financial targets. They will be passionate about building trusting and meaningful relationships which generate and grow income and committed to telling the story of how youth work changes lives.
Our work is intentional and impactful, and you will need to be confident working and communicating with a lot of people and a lot of different kinds of people. Being self-aware and emotionally attuned will help with this.
Fundraising is human oriented and often reactive. We enjoy a high degree of flexibility and variety in our work. You will have projects of your own to manage autonomously, and regular space to voice what work you would most like to be involved with. Therefore, we are looking for someone with great time management and problem solving skills.
As a team we are excited about our work. Sometimes we have crunch periods, and we need someone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and be proactive and accountable, however we do not typically work over our contracted hours. We deeply value work life balance and support all members of the team to feel fulfilled in their role and ensure that their life outside of work is equally a priority. Time off in lieu will be arranged for any evening or weekend work and we expect and plan for all members of the team to fully utilise and enjoy their annual leave.
Excellent work in this role looks like work that is aligned with our strategic objectives, well prioritised, communicated to the necessary people, and includes time to learn and train. We will value and celebrate your creativity, the care and pride that you take in your work, and how you remain balanced in the workplace.
