Shelter’s Fundraising Division has grown significantly over the past three years and is set to continue, with a vision of reaching £40m by 2017.

• Being field based at least three days a week, either team leading, site visiting or conducting one to ones
• Identifying areas for improvement in fundraisers’ and team leaders’ capabilities.

And what you’ll need:

• Experience of managing F2F teams and the ability to deliver results in a demanding environment
• A well-organised approach and excellent people management skills
• A flair for building effective working relationships and networks, coupled with a sensitivity to others needs
• The ability to use Microsoft Office applications and databases for reporting.
