Cornwall, United Kingdom Mission Rabies Full time

**Event Officer**

This exciting role will be responsible for leading on a new corporate fundraising event, to raise vital funds for international charity, Mission Rabies. The inaugural event will take place in Cornwall and is in the preparation phase for the first year, with plans to evolve and grow into an annual event in the future.

This role is part time, and initially a 1-year fixed-term contract, with potential to develop into a longer-term role supporting other events at Mission Rabies.

Other organisations may call this role Events Manager, Events Co-ordinator, Fundraising and Events Officer, Engagement Officer, Events Co-ordinator

**About Us**

Over 99% of human rabies cases are caused by an infected dog bite. Once symptoms of the disease develop, it is fatal.

Every year, millions of healthy dogs are inhumanely killed for fear of this deadly disease. However, this does nothing to stop the spread of rabies, which still kills around 59,000 people every year - the majority of whom are children under 15.

Mission Rabies is changing that.

Science shows that the most effective long-term rabies control strategy is through vaccination of dogs in endemic areas, so we head to rabies hotspots and run mass vaccination and education programmes - protecting both the human and canine populations. Crucially, it's working. Human deaths from rabies have been eliminated at our original project sites and we're determined to keep going until that figure is zero all around the world.

Mission Rabies follow World Health Organization guidelines to run mass canine vaccination programmes in countries like Cambodia, Ghana, India, Malawi, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand, and Uganda. To date we have vaccinated over 2,000,000 dogs and educated over 5,000,000 children to protect them against the danger of rabies.

**Main Duties & Responsibilities**
- Plan and organise a fundraising event based in Cornwall, including logistics, co-ordinating staff and attending the event.
- Work with the marketing team to promote the event, including press releases and local coverage.
- Working across the wider team to maximise support for the event through sponsorships and connections with local organisations.
- Work with the marketing team to collect footage and photos on the day.
- Analyse the success of the event and the potential for future events.
- Ensure all activities are compliant with the fundraising code of practice and all other statutory obligations.

**Essential Skills & Experience**
- 2+ years’ experience in events management.
- Excellent copy writing and communication skills - with a willingness to talk to lots of people about the work we do.
- A good understanding of policies and laws regarding events in the UK.
- Familiar with the tourism and hospitality sector in Cornwall.
- A strong team player.
- Excellent attention to detail and pride in delivering high-quality work.
- A passion for animal welfare.
- Proficient in Microsoft packages - Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
- The ability and willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends occasionally when the charity requires.
- The right to work in the UK.

- Experience in the charity sector
