We’re looking for a creative and innovative individual who is used to managing door-to-door teams, to join us as Deputy Door to Door Fundraising Manager and help coach, manage and develop our D2D team.

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. Accordingly, there’s a real confidence on the part of the senior management team and the Board and a strong conviction that fundraising will be central to our ongoing success. Over the coming years there will be significant investment placed in the division to enable sustained growth across the board, particularly in Individual Giving where this challenging management role sits.

Benefits include 30 days annual leave, the possibility of flexible working and significant opportunities for learning and development.

Your key responsibilities:

  • Working closely with the D2D Manager to assist with the management of all in-house D2D activity, including ensuring campaigns are delivered on time and meet targets
  • Monitoring the performance of teams and individuals, reporting on progress and identifying and acting upon areas where improvement is needed
  • Playing your part in the people management of the team, including conducting regular 121 meetings, coaching and motivating others and assisting in an effective recruitment programme
  • Making sure all administration is completed accurately and follows efficient processes.

And what you’ll need:

  • A proven track record in a F2F/D2D management role, including leading change and improving the performance of a team
  • A proactive and collaborative approach plus a flair for identifying emerging opportunities or taking action to avoid potential problems
  • A real customer focus, excellent communication and relationship building skills and the resilience to deal effectively with potentially difficult situations
  • Proficiency using Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, email and the internet as well as databases for reporting purposes.
