6 days ago


Manchester, United Kingdom Charity Horizons Full time

‘’Myself & my husband honestly can’t quite believe how powerful Mr Duckie is Mr Duckie’s arrival definitely made the Hickman line insertion as smooth as possible for our son. We will be forever grateful for such a fantastic initiative to help us navigate this challenging, confusing time for him’’.

Every week in the UK around 30 families will receive the devastating news that their child has cancer.

The Give A Duck Foundation is a children’s cancer charity, supporting children who have been diagnosed with cancer throughout the UK.  They provide Chemo Duck packs to every UK Principal Treatment Centre and over 30 UK shared care hospitals. Chemo Duck is fitted with medical lines and ports to mirror those of the child and offers comfort and support to children from the start of their treatment journey.

 

This inspirational charity is looking for an exceptional Regional Fundraiser to join the small but mighty fundraising team and help raise the vital funds needed to make its mission possible; they can’t stop children getting cancer, but they can help to make the treatment journey easier.

 

The Role

Working closely with the Fundraising Manager, the role of the Regional Fundraiser will involve leading on all aspects of fundraising. Duties will include:

  • Expanding current fundraising and volunteering activity to create new opportunities for the charity
  • Developing and agreeing a fundraising plan with the Fundraising Manager, including measurable targets and outcomes.
  • Contributing to all aspects of the charity’s work through communication with health care professionals and families in conjunction with the Fundraising Manager.
  • Recruiting, managing and motivating Community Ambassadors and volunteers to successfully grow income and widen awareness of The Give A Duck Foundation.
  • Updating the charity database (currently E-Tapesty) to report all communications and finances

 

The Person

To be considered for this exciting role you will ideally have fundraising experience, however we are also keen to hear from those with customer service, sales and volunteer management experience.

Knowledge of forecasting, budget management and experience of working towards targets or KPIs is essential, and the ability to identify appropriate fundraising opportunities is key to being successful in this role.

Perhaps most importantly you have the ability to deal with families and supporters, sensitively and with empathy while remaining a committed ambassador for this fantastic charity, positively promoting the organisation and its work at all times.

 

Why The Give A Duck Foundation?

This is an exciting time of growth for the charity, offering a great opportunity for an experienced individual to really make their mark and be part of a small, friendly and ambitious team.

The charity offers a whole range of incredible benefits, including:

  • 25 days annual leave plus statutory holidays
  • Company laptop and mobile phone
  • Pension
  • Free onsite parking
  • Occupational sick pay
  • Development opportunities

 

This role is permanent and both full time and part time hours will be considered however a minimum of 3 working days per week is required. The role will be covering the North West with 1 day per week in the office located in Wakefield 41, Yorkshire. Travel is an expectation of this post, therefore a full driving licence and access to own transport is required.
