  2. Help with event logistics, set-up, and participant engagement to ensure smooth delivery.
  3. Take part in local initiatives acquiring donors and do-it-yourself fundraisers.
  4. Increase awareness of the organisation's work by helping to promote regional fundraising activity.
  5. Represent the organisation at schools, community groups, and public events, delivering presentations to inspire support.
  6. Communicate with supporters via phone, email, and face-to-face interactions.
  7. Attend and contribute to meetings with the fundraising team and supporters to share updates and ideas.

What will make you a great fit for this role?

You will have good knowledge of your local community and be passionate about making a difference to those severely affected by mental illness. You will also have:

  1. The ability to organise events and activities.
  2. The ability to inspire and motivate others.
  3. Good communication skills.
  4. Creative ideas to promote diverse fundraising activities.
  5. Dedication to our cause.

Who are we?

We're Rethink Mental Illness, a leading charity provider of mental health services in England. We support thousands of people through our groups, services, policy, campaigns and advice and information. Our work supports us in delivering on our mission: "A better life for everyone severely affected by mental illness."

It is an exciting time to join our growing charity. We are on a transformation journey, one that supports the delivery of the organisation strategy – delivering Communities that Care. Supporting employees, managers and leaders through this change is a key priority for the People function. Just like it's key that we attract diverse people to come and work for us.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

Diversity is important to us and we appreciate difference through difference, inclusiveness and belonging. It gives us a deeper understanding of the world, our society and the diverse communities we're working with. By including everyone, we are able to draw on the unique experiences and expertise of our people to help shape and enrich our workplace and improve our services.

We therefore actively encourage and welcome applications from everyone, including applicants with lived experience, those who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (or questioning), Intersex and (asexual) (LGBTQIA+), people with a disability, and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.
