This is a vacancy for an established but growing Corporate and Community Fundraiser role in a Berkshire based charity, generating funds from local businesses and community groups, events and individuals. 

Camp Mohawk is a local but widely known and highly respected organisation, providing support services to children and young people with special needs and their families from our beautiful woodland site in rural East Berkshire. Camp Mohawk supports over 700 families from across the South / South East region, seeing over 17,000 visitors each year.

Many of our families and young people find it extremely difficult to access public play and leisure facilities, and the challenges they face with day-to-day life means that they are at significant risk of social isolation and deteriorating mental and physical health. Recent studies have found that families who have a child with special needs are experiencing significant pressure on their family finances, over and above those being experienced by the general population. Camp Mohawk is committed to a voluntary contribution system of charges for the families who use our service and with very limited government / local authority funding available we are therefore almost entirely reliant on grants and donations to make up our annual income requirements.

We have a vacancy for a dynamic, driven and experienced individual to join our small fundraising team, focussing on generating income from corporate and community sources and working closely with our Grants and Trusts Fundraiser. The successful applicant will be a superb communicator, with proven presentation and / or public speaking experience, allowing them to engage and enthuse diverse audiences of all ages. They will possess the skills and confidence to create and deliver persuasive presentations, write press releases, produce posters, leaflets and other written communications, and maintain and build our social media following on a variety of platforms.  Experience of planning and co-ordinating events and/or fundraising challenges, managing teams of volunteers and making pro-active approaches is desirable. They will possess good IT skills and will have a good understanding of financial reporting.

Working primarily from home or remotely (due to space limitations in our small office!), they will be highly self-motivated, driven and possess exceptional organisational skills. The role involves frequent travel locally for the purpose of visiting current and new contacts in the community and attending events, therefore the successful candidate will live locally and will need their own transport. Working hours can be flexible but the ability to work at occasional breakfast, evening and weekend events is essential. 

If you feel that you possess the skills and attributes this role requires, we would love to hear from you. 

Making The Leap is an innovative societal change charity that aims to make a big difference. From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be. To say that this is an exciting time for the organisation would be an understatement, as our incredible funders, donors, partners and supporters have given us the chance to move to the next level, and have further influence and delivery nationally.

The shared soul of the organisation is to be passionate about helping young people from less-advantaged backgrounds; build up other charities and community groups and want to partner with them or support them; want to work with businesses and organisations to get things done; and care deeply about addressing racial inequity.

The organisation has a number of strands: core Making The Leap; the UK Social Mobility Awards; the Social Mobility Podcast; Black Charity Leaders and The Social Mobility List.

It is often a role experienced fundraisers progress to but will suit a person with the right transferable skills. You may have experience of major donors in another fundraising role, or perhaps you’re an animal-loving fundraiser, sales or business development professional with a strong track record of understanding clients and listening to their motivations.

You need to be an effective and inspiring relationship builder, well organised, an excellent communicator, attentive to detail, and able to think on your feet. A love of animals, a passion for animal welfare, and an understanding of the special human-animal bond would be highly desirable for this role.

It is an exciting time to join the fundraising team at Raystede as we enter our third year of building our partnerships programme. You will work closely with the Corporate and Trusts Fundraisers, as well as the wider team, including the Community and Individual Giving teams.

You will also be working closely with our animal care teams on animal welfare related projects as well as our estate teams, trustees and senior management team.

We are growing our income generation to meet the challenges on behalf of the animals in our care who do not have a voice of heir own. The role of Major Donor Fundraiser is crucial to ensuring our supporters are engaged deeply with our cause, through strong stewardship and cultivation activity.

The Major Giving programme is well underway, and you will be supported to deliver excellent stewardship and design a personal stewardship programme. Reporting to the Head of Fundraising, you will have autonomy, be encouraged to take an innovative approach to stewardship and be supported to continue your professional development.

We would love to hear from you if you:

• Are an experienced fundraiser or account manager with excellent relationship development skills.
• Can inspire and influence supporters to deepen relationships.
• Can work with discretion, tact and sensitivity.
• Have excellent networking skills, able to network at the highest level and work closely with our CEO, Trustees and Senior Management Team.
• Have good IT skills, including CRM databases and MS Office applications.
• Want to make a real, tangible impact to the lives of animals.
• Have the passion and drive to go the extra mile, keeping excellent donor care and animal welfare at the heart of everything you do.

About Raystede

Raystede is a charity that aims to give animals a better life through rehoming, rehabilitation and sanctuary, and give people the support and knowledge they need to treat animals with care and respect. Raystede is Sussex’s biggest animal welfare charity, with nearly 70 years’ experience of caring for and rehoming animals. Uniquely, we care for a huge range of animals - from dogs, cats and donkeys to rabbits, parrots and alpacas. Our experience, expertise and partnerships enable us to deliver an exceptional quality of care for the animals we help. Many of the animals have been neglected, abused or exploited. Raystede helps most of the animals find new homes but also provides life-long sanctuary for elderly horses and other animals that cannot be rehomed. Raystede provides love and safety to those animals that would have nowhere else to go.

To arrange an informal discussion about the role, please refer to our website for contact information.

Closing date for applications is 19 December 2024, however interviews are being conducted on a rolling basis, so please apply without delay to avoid disappointment.
