We’re looking for an exceptional Events Fundraising Manager to help deliver our new events fundraising strategy. This is a brand new role with huge opportunity for impact at this exciting time of growth and change for Independent Age.

Over the past 10 years, Independent Age has been through a major transformation. We’ve moved from operating as a benevolent trust, to establishing ourselves as a charity that provides impact at scale, helping older people stay independent and live well. Last year, 1 million people accessed our services.

Our plan now is to significantly increase our number of supporters and service users, and to deepen our engagement with them. In order to seize this opportunity and help us turn our vision into a reality, we have brought together the key functions that drive the public to Independent Age – Marketing, Communications and Fundraising – and taken the bold step of building a brand new Engagement Division.

Key to our new Engagement Vision is our ability to maximise income from new and existing owned, bespoke and third-party events that deliver a long-term sustainable return. 

You’ll play an important role in this new Division, managing the operational delivery and supporting the development of Independent Age’s new events fundraising strategy. You’ll deliver the programme with a strong focus on mass participation events which ensure the best possible supporter experience to maximise lifetime value.

You will work with the Head of Events Fundraising to use insight to target key segments, develop compelling content, tell inspirational stories, create relevant offers and deliver impactful campaigns which inspire supporters/the public (national and local) to raise funds in support our work.

You will have a track record of achieving events fundraising income and participant growth, and successfully building long-term relationships with national and local supporters to deliver outstanding customer experience.

Most importantly you’ll be inspired by this unique opportunity to harness the power of events fundraising to help more older people as the UK grows older. 

If this is you, we’d love to hear from you.

“All applications will be forwarded to our recruitment partners Charity People”

Closing date is 25th June 2018.
