Senior Database Officer

As part of a transformational growth strategy the Home has invested heavily in a new fundraising team and activities, increasing income more than tenfold since 2010 and substantially reducing an over reliance on legacy income. 

Our fundraising programme has grown rapidly across all areas; most notably by developing a significant individual donor base, establishing a major giving programme, launching new commercial activities and developing our events and community fundraising activity. Yet the opportunity to increase our impact for animals through growing a significant and sustainable income base remains considerable and our fundraising team are set to achieve ambitious year-on-year growth in order transform the lives of the animals in our care.

Our talented and award-winning team is vibrant, ambitious and well respected. It’s therefore an exciting time to work at one of the country’s most loved and best known animal charities – and work as part of one of the fastest growing fundraising teams. 

Our Database Team sits within Individual Giving, working closely with BDCH Staff and external contacts to collect and manage data that enables teams to fundraise effectively. Data is at the heart of our fundraising, and this team manage our database and all data processes with external agencies, using data to analyse trends, helping fundraising teams improve donor relationships.  Without their support, hundreds of thousands of donors and the millions of pounds they generously give us each year would not be recognised.
