**Charity Fundraiser**

**Location**:Lancaster

**Salary**: £30,000 - £40,000 per annum

**A worthwhile job that gives work-life balance**

“_I had never thought of doing something like this before but now I am, I realise that it’s the best job that I have ever had”_

What are your real priorities for your next job?

Is work-life balance really important to you and do you want to do something that is genuinely worthwhile? If this is what really matters to you, you may need to broaden your options and think about something you hadn’t previously considered. It might pay for you to take the time to read a slightly longer job advert, find out more about the job and actually see it being done first?

**Genuine work-life balance**

Think about this What about a job where:

- People from all kinds of backgrounds are successful and people of all ages including people shifting careers aged 40-65?
- 80% of the staff work 3 or 4 days per week?
- Where you can potentially work your hours at times between 9am to 7pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 3pm on Saturdays?
- Where most staff vary their working hours week to week to fit in around time with family, friends, pets, medical appointments etc?
- Where you can compress your hours over 2 weeks to get blocks of days off?
- Where you generally work within half an hour of your home, you don’t have to travel in rush hour, travel time is built into your contract, and you get a travel allowance payment?
- Where the company shuts down over Xmas and new year for at least a full week, so you can have a proper break?
- Where work stops at the end of your shift, you can’t take your work home with you and if you have been working hard and have done well you can even finish a bit early?
- Where training is comprehensive but done remotely by home study and followed up with excellent ongoing support & encouragement?

The organisation think supporting a good work-life balance for their staff is business-critical. They offer flexible local working and a culture that supports you maximising your life outside of work. That is why work-life balance will be a theme running through your recruitment & selection journey and how you are managed once you start with them.

**The Role**

Derian House Children’s Hospice helps seriously and terminally ill children live life to the full by creating wonderful experiences and bringing back a sense of normality to family life. By providing specialist nursing care and emotional support we help families smile again when life couldn’t get any tougher.

The role is fundraising as a 3rd party agent, employed by The Partnership, representing and fundraising on behalf of Derian House Children’s Hospice. Your job will be to find more people to support us with a small regular donation so that they can make a big difference for local families. You do this by talking to people at their homes, being friendly, explaining what Derian House does, and asking them to become a regular supporter.

A typical fundraiser will raise more than £400,000 for the charity every year that they work for us. So, you would be doing do a job where after 5 years of work, through your professionalism, integrity, and hard work you could raise more than £2million for charities that deal, quite literally in matters of life and death. Charity lotteries are vital to keeping these charities going.

**Role Requirements**

You need to be reasonably mobile and physically fit and active, but they can train you in all other parts of the job very easily. You will also be ethical and take pride in doing a job the right way. You need interpersonal skills, to be a good listener and be able to communicate effectively, but you don’t need to be really persuasive or great at making speeches as it isn’t what people think of as a sales job at all.

Most of all you need to have real integrity and self-motivation. The organisation employ good people, treat them well and they trust their people to work to high standards. They have an outstanding team of fundraisers who work to the highest standards and deliver the best quality results in their industry. It’s a privilege to join their team. All sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds can be successful but you must have personal integrity and self-motivation.

It is a salaried role enhanced by commission with full-time and part-time options, travel costs payment included. You will need to have a car but will typically be working within 30 minutes of your home. Full-time OTE is between £30-40k pa. They provide full training which is delivered via a home study course and ongoing support and coaching in the field. They are an ethical employer and are committed to setting new standards and changing the face of face-to-face fundraising. That is why they are proud to already be an ISO 9001 accredited company.
