So, as well as identifying key local supporters and those with influence in the community, you&#39;ll work with the traditional media, through the internet, and face to face with both established and potential supporters and volunteers to raise awareness of all our vital work and how we can all help.

In return for your hard work and impressive results, we commit to actively developing you and our benefits include BUPA, life assurance, pension, childcare vouchers, generous leave, and interest free loans for season ticket and gym membership. 

Our Fundraising Managers are mobile-workers who travel extensively within the defined geographical area for their role. You must have a full UK driving licence at the time of application and the work will also require some unsocial and out of hours working. A car or car allowance is provided.

You may have experience of the following: Sales Manager, Regional Fundraiser, Corporate Fundraiser, New Business Manager, Area Sales Manager, Business Development Manager, Marketing Manager, Key Account Manager, Client Relations Manager
