Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds Asylum Seekers Support Network Full time

Can you help us tell the story of the 200 amazing people who support refugees via the Leeds Asylum Seekers Support Network? And can you help us connect with the folks who will offer donations if they know more about our impact?

The Community Fundraising and Communications Coordinator will

  • Lead on LASSN's Community Fundraising – responsible for developing and delivering a community fundraising strategy that maximises the amount of funds generated by volunteers and supporters, local community groups and individuals.
  • Lead on the implementation (and review) of LASSN's communications strategy - ensuring that LASSN's staff, volunteers and experts by lived experience, are central to the production and promotion of LASSN's key messages; the work and impact of LASSN are shared effectively with key audiences; communications support and enhance LASSN's fundraising efforts.

    The person we appoint will
    • Share LASSN's commitment to ensuring asylum seekers, refugees and other migrants at risk of harm are safe, respected, supported and empowered to rebuild their lives free of persecution;
    • Have a successful track record of identifying and supporting individuals, groups and institutions to raise funds for values-led organisations or charities like LASSN.
    • Be an excellent communicator, in person, online, and in print, and be committed to building the confidence and capabilities of everyone at LASSN.
    • Understand the strengths and potential of different communication platforms (e.g., print, social media, film) and be able to use these to convey the values and impact of LASSN's work.
    • Enjoy working flexibly in a small, friendly team – and alongside 300 motivated and talented volunteers and supporters from a wide variety of backgrounds.
    • Be a confident self-starter, able to design, plan and deliver campaigns – and to enthuse and engage other people.
    • Commit to helping ordinary people find ways to make Leeds a friendlier, more welcoming city.

      Their can-do approach and ability to complete tasks to agreed deadlines will play a vital role in the smooth running of a team that values diversity, kindness, and high standards of support.

      Applicants are asked to submit a CV with a cover letter of no more than 1200 words, demonstrating how they meet the personal specification and job description with the subject "Application CF&COMMS + your name".

      This post is funded by LASSN's unrestricted reserves and is offered on a fixed-term contract for 12 months. The future of this role will depend on the success of the post holder in securing funds to pay for their role beyond this fixed term and the value the role has added to LASSN's work.
