Description:
Are you passionate about building relationships and securing funding for an ambitious and growing charity providing high-quality support to adults with disabilities?
We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative Fundraising Manager to lead on increasing donations from individuals with an interest in our cause and our local communities.
We are looking to grow our income beyond Trusts and Foundation and diversify our income streams in line with our strategy. We need someone with the passion and track record to tell our story to other audiences, so they want to support Share.
Share is a registered charity and a centre for training and wellbeing. We provide a range of programmes helping adults with learning disabilities, autism and other support needs become more happy, healthy, and independent. Our vision is a world where disabled people are fully included in society, living the life they choose, and we need talented people like you to help us make that happen.
Main responsibilities
* You will build on the excellent foundations laid by the outgoing Community Fundraiser to raise our profile amongst our neighbours and with local organisations
* You will proactively recruit new supporters, build our individual supporter base and develop regular stewardship and communications
* You will offer high-quality relationship management and donor care to supporters including providing fundraising materials, encouragement and support to maximise their fundraising potential, as well as ensuring donors are recognised and thanked for their contribution
* You will develop and deliver fundraising operational plans, ensure good fundraising practice and messaging is embedded throughout the entire organisation.
Who we’re looking for
* You are a dynamic, compelling and organised person with experience of building lasting relationships to achieve fundraising targets, bringing in income through regular donations, fundraising campaigns and events
* You are self-motivated and ambitious, and be excited by the opportunity to develop a crucial function within a growing charity
* You are a brilliant communicator, in person, in writing and over the phone
* You use data to inform where you channel your energies, considering the return on time and any financial investment
* Most importantly, you’re passionate about helping disabled people enjoy more autonomy and you understand how to make this happen.

Share is committed to empowering disabled people. You’ll make a difference every day, helping people to live as independently as possible.
