The results are transformative, boosting children's reading confidence and ability.

From a school perspective, online reading volunteers provide direct, meaningful literacy support for up to 10 pupils per class.

Purpose of the role

The Relationship Fundraiser will develop fundraising income through nurturing relationships with individuals, companies and groups.As a staff ambassador for Day One, championing our values and behaviours and being committed to the difference that Day One makes is essential.

The role sits within our Fundraising and Communications Department and will play a big role in delivering our Fundraising Strategy and supporting campaign activities.

This challenging new role requires a positive, proactive and resilient self-starter with the ability to drive innovation, change and growth. You will be able to demonstrate a proven track record of providing outstanding stewardship to every supporter, and building long-term, productive relationships focusing on an increase in supporter numbers and income to reach or exceed budget. 

You will work within the diverse public fundraising team, encompassing community, individual giving, corporate fundraising and events.  Our USP is providing exceptional personalised stewardship to every supporter.  We are all about building and maintaining brilliant relationships with supporters – be they individuals, corporates or groups. You need to absolutely love meeting and talking to people, be genuinely interested in them, why they want to support and how they might like to get involved.  You will be one of the public faces of Day One, attending regular events and networking opportunities.

Day One Trauma Support is now providing face to face services in Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Newcastle and Manchester. Our preference is for this role to be based in the north-west to build and develop our supporter networks around Aintree Major Trauma Centre and the Greater Manchester Major Trauma Hospital (Salford), but if you’re amazing and live in the north or north-east, then we’d still love to hear from you.

Who you’ll be working with 

You’ll work as a key member of our friendly, experienced and enthusiastic communications and fundraising team.  We're a small, dedicated team with big ambitions, and we prioritise time to work collaboratively and support each other.  You’ll be line-managed by our Fundraising Manager and work alongside our Senior Fundraiser and our Fundraising Assistant. You’ll be supported by our Fundraising and Communications Director, our Senior Leadership Team and Board of Trustees. 

We want Day One to be the charity that fundraisers want to work for: with creativity and autonomy in your role and the positive impact we can have on the lives of major trauma patients and their families. If you are self-motivated and want to be part of a compassionate and high performing fundraising team, we’d love to receive an application from you.
