Door to Door Fundraising Manager

We’re looking for a results-driven Door to Door Fundraising Manager who is used to leading door-to-door teams, to train, retain and develop our London based D2D fundraising teams.

Shelter depends increasingly upon voluntary income to fund much of its campaigning work and the services we provide to homeless and badly housed people. Individual Giving provides three quarters of this income through a significant regular giving programme, while our in-house team plays its part by focusing on bringing quality new supporters on board through F2F & D2D fundraising. We’re implementing a pioneering three year strategy that will majorly transform our entire Fundraising Division and see our income rise to around £21m a year. Put simply, it’s a great time to join us.

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

Your key responsibilities:

• Providing inspirational leadership, setting high standards and making sure team leaders provide motivational and results-focused management of D2D team members
• Being present on a daily basis with the teams in the field to make sure they are fulfilling target requirements 
• To ensure that full and proper training is carried out for all D2D fundraisers in all aspects of Shelter’s D2D training programme
• Providing feedback on how this activity has performed to the Operations Manager
• Liaising with external suppliers, including recruitment agencies, and making sure we comply with PFRA guidelines for D2D activity.

And what you’ll need:

• Proven experience of managing D2D teams
• In-depth understanding of the fundraising environment and the value of regular giving

• A proactive, commercially aware approach, lots of creativity and innovation and the communication skills it takes to motivate and influence others
• Proficiency using Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint plus experience of using databases for reporting.

At Shelter, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone regardless of age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. We are facing diverse problems, so need diverse people to tackle them.

Shelter is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of clients, in particular children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expects all staff, workers and volunteers to share this commitment.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help.

We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Shelter does not accept unsolicited CVs from external recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.
