NEA’s Fundraising and Partnerships team has seen sustained growth in income from public and corporate fundraising, helping to raise awareness of fuel poverty and expand our reach. To build on this success and continue increasing unrestricted income through a diverse fundraising mix, we are recruiting a Fundraising Officer to join our knowledgeable and compassionate team.
As Fundraising Officer, you’ll become part of a close-knit, friendly, and hardworking group who generate income from a wide range of sources, including corporate partnerships, major donors, events, community fundraising and individual giving. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference while developing your skills in a supportive and mission-driven environment.
You will have a strong knowledge of fundraising and income generation, and you will play a major part in significantly increasing income growth. Reporting into the Fundraising Manager, you will be a motivated and talented Fundraising Officer with a passion for building meaningful relationships, who will help us grow our unrestricted income from corporate partnerships and events.
As Fundraising Officer, your role will be to support, develop and inspire corporate partnerships, individual supporters and fundraising groups to ensure our fundraising activity is as effective as possible.
You will provide excellent stewardship, support, and motivation to a wide range of supporters. You’ll develop and deliver dedicated corporate fundraising campaigns, write compelling cases for support, and create engaging copy for social media and email to inspire people to support NEA.
Working as a part of the Fundraising Team, the role will focus on identifying and developing corporate partnerships, as well as overseeing NEA’s calendar of fundraising events. You will deliver high-quality stewardship and support to fundraisers, ensuring a positive and engaging experience. You’ll also be responsible for planning and executing a portfolio of challenge events, while cultivating meaningful relationships with a diverse range of corporate partners.
A key part of your role will be identifying and securing new opportunities for corporate support, while strengthening existing relationships to foster long-term engagement. You will also play an important role in supporting NEA’s corporate volunteering programme.
You’ll be part of a small, friendly, and hardworking team that works collaboratively to achieve shared goals. The role requires strategic thinking and hands-on delivery, so we’re looking for someone with demonstrable experience in fundraising or business development, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with attention to detail.
