Role Context: It is an exciting time to join Kidney Care UK. We are at the midpoint of an ambitious strategy to double our voluntary income to more than £2m by 2021. This strategy has already seen us rebrand to Kidney Care UK and grow our fundraising team to seven (from just two in 2016). More importantly, we are already seeing the growth in our supporter base (up 60% on last year) and income has grown from £1m in 2016 to £1.5m in 2018. We are now ready to take the next step forward.
We are looking for a driven and enthusiastic fundraiser to play a key role in the growing fundraising team. You will need to be approachable and engaging and have proven experience of delivering fundraising products and supporter engagement activities. This is a new role that the right candidate will make their own. The role will adapt and develop with the individual and offers huge potential for personal and career development.
