We are looking for an enthusiastic and entrepreneurial individual who has the experience and flair to lead a small team to plan and execute community fundraising activities that acquire, retain and develop supporters and deliver sustainable income streams. You will have:
- Experience of developing and implementing a plan to engage supporters and raise funds.
- A track record of leading and managing a team to achieve a step increase in income from community fundraising activity and to achieve/surpass fundraising targets.
- Ability to demonstrate success in growing regional and community fundraising activity in a crowded market, for similar non-profit organisations
- A desire and some experience of aligning local activity with national strategies, to achieve the best outcomes
- Experience of assessing return on investment and growth potential with ability to see the bigger picture and make good choices
- Demonstrable experience of working collaboratively and building effective relationships with a diverse range of audiences and stakeholders
- Excellent skills in project management, planning and budgeting.
