St Austell, United Kingdom Active8 Full time

**A bit about Active8**

Active8 was created in 1990 on the request of a young man with a physical disability. He asked his social worker to arrange for him to meet with other like minded young people who faced similar challenges to him.

A residential programme was started, giving young people with physical disabilities an opportunity to meet up and try a range of exciting, challenging activities. Activities include surfing, sailing, abseiling, disability sports, arts and crafts and music events. Through this programme, young people discover that they can achieve what they never thought possible, and this filters into their everyday lives, where they become more independent and autonomous.

It became evident that once the programme finished, many young people still needed support to continue their journey to full autonomy. Employment, independent living, use of public transport, continued access to friendship and new opportunities were still areas that young people needed support with. In the past, the group have helped organise trips to the ParaAthletics in London, cookery classes at Rick Steins, theatre trips, visits to Tattoo exhibitions and ComicCons, weekend trips to Butlins and various fundraising activities. The group also carries out various advocacy work including supporting organisations to become more accessible and raising disability awareness through attending conferences and running workshops.

**What it is like working for Active8**

We are a charity that supports the wellbeing and aspirations of young people and consequently the wellbeing of our staff is first and foremost. We welcome flexible working and trust our staff to manage their own time.

No matter what your role is within Active8 we encourage staff to get involved with the youth work delivery and join the activities to see what the hard work behind the scenes is for.

Full time employees are entitled to 28 days annual leave and TOIL for any additional work they do.

**The role**

This is an exciting chance to really make a substantial difference to the young people we support at Active8. It is part of plan to increase the fundraising capacity of the charity with a significant amount of untapped potential so it is an exciting time to join.

However willingness to learn, passion for the cause and transferrable skills count for a lot and training will be provided if you do not have direct experience but you are creative, good at story telling, enjoy building relationships and have an eye for detail.

As you would expect when working for a small charity no two days are the same and we all ‘muck in’ doing things outside of any job description which will make working at Active8 so varied and enjoyable.

- To be responsible for all aspects of donor relationships: initial contact, presenting proposals, registering funds received, thanking donors and donor reporting.

- To provide appropriate and timely responses to all fundraising enquiries and donations.
- To be aware of and adhere to Active8’s ethos and philosophy, policies and procedures, applicable rules, regulations, legislation (Health and Safety, Data Protection, Safeguarding, Disability Discrimination Act).
