Diabetes UK is committed to fundraise in a way that is legal, open, honest and respectful and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and you will be expected to adhere to the Code of Fundraising Practice.

Main Responsibilities

You will be the first point of contact for people fundraising in their community for Diabetes UK, from doing a skydive to organising a bake sale.

You will ensure they receive an excellent experience from the charity and support them to raise as much as they can and become life-long supporters.


You will also provide administrative support to the wider Community Fundraising team and build effective working relationships to do so in a professional, timely and effective way.

You will have experience in providing excellent customer experience, within a charity or another sector. You will also have strong abilities in managing competing deadlines and organising your time effectively to prioritise your workload.

You will also be able to effectively build working relationships with your colleagues in a professional manner, and demonstrate high standards of written and verbal communication.

It is not expected that you will have experience of working in a fundraising team, but transferable skills and a passion to learn

About The Company
For nearly 5 million people with diabetes in the UK, there's no day off. At Diabetes UK, we fight day in, day out for better care, treatment and support. We won't stop until diabetes can do no harm.


With more people than ever living with diabetes and millions more at risk of developing type 2, our work has never been more needed.

We make sure they get the care and support needed to live well with diabetes and avoid devastating complications.


We fund critical research, which has led to life-changing discoveries - like the first insulin pen and programmes to put type 2 diabetes into remission.

Now, we want to do this for everyone and find a cure.

We can't do any of this without you. Our staff are passionate and determined about helping everyone affected by diabetes.

For over 85 years, they've been behind vital policy changes, as well as new treatments and technologies to make living with diabetes easier every day.

But there's more to do. And you can be part of it.

We're a really diverse bunch and we recognise and respect your value as an individual.

As well as helping people with diabetes, you'll be part of one of the top 30 Best UK Charities to Work For, and one of the top 75 Best Large Companies in London.


We're committed to protecting and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk, and we need our staff and volunteers to support this.

Our vision is a world where diabetes can do no harm. Join us today, and together, we can make that a reality.
