About the role

The Parkinson’s UK Regional Fundraising team are a dynamic and creative large team of highly skilled fundraisers, managers and support team members who aim to raise over 3.75milion in 2018 by growing local fundraising and community support in the areas they cover.

We are currently recruiting for the role of Regional Fundraiser in the South West London area on a temporary basis for 9 months. This is an exciting and varied role, with the opportunity to support, motivate and grow a diverse portfolio of individual fundraisers, community groups, local contacts and volunteers and develop and deliver a number of our successful Walk for Parkinson’s events.

The post holder will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with other Regional Fundraisers, local staff and the wider Fundraising Directorate to provide support and share ideas on developing the local area. There will be opportunities to participate in project work developing new fundraising ideas and improvements to processes which will have an impact across the Regional Fundraising team.
