Citizens Advice Peterborough

Our drive is to improve the quality of advice, particularly for the most deprived by increasing the access to information, advice and advocacy in Peterborough. The charity has been instrumental in helping eight thousand unique clients each year; however, demand for our service is growing and far exceeds our current resources. With the introduction of Universal Credit and ongoing welfare reform demands for our service will grow further.

We are now looking for a new member of staff to fill a key new role in the charity; a bid writer to research, design, write and submit detailed applications for capital and revenue funds to relevant grant-making bodies to support our services. This will be an exceptional opportunity for a gifted and driven individual to build new networks and develop new funding streams for the charity.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about advice services that would enjoy the chance to make a real difference to people’s lives and make the case to donors, trusts and corporate organisations to fund our work in Peterborough.

You should have a minimum of two years’ experience in a fundraising role, along with a good understanding and knowledge of statutory and lottery fundraising and the voluntary sector.

Closing date: 30th October 2015
Interviews: 9th November 2015
