Community Fundraising Manager

Want to work for an amazing charity and help save lives at sea? We are currently recruiting for a Community Fundraising Manager to join us in London.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in developing and growing all aspects of community fundraising for the RNLI in the London area and help generate funds that support our lifesaving service.

Interested? Your role will focus on identifying and delivering new fundraising opportunities, events and projects and enhancing relationships with our existing supporters and donors. You will also work with our dynamic and high-profile City Supporter groups with their fundraising plans and events to ensure they can continue to successfully raise funds to help save lives at sea.

The RNLI is keen to engage with highly motivated candidates with an organised approach who can offer strong fundraising skills, creativity and a passion for maximising supporter involvement and income generation.  A background in the third sector is not essential but proven fundraising, events or business development experience, or a volunteer management background is desirable. With excellent communication and relationship-building skills, the successful candidate will be able to look strategically at the area they cover, as well as driving forward fundraising on the ground.

Primarily covering the London area, you will be required to regularly travel extensively within the area, as well as more widely when required. A valid driving licence is required. This is a home-based role so interested candidates should live in the area, and the flexibility to work evenings and weekends is essential.

There has never been a more exciting time to join the RNLI, where every member of staff plays a vital part in saving lives at sea.  If you want the opportunity to join a bright and motivated fundraising team in a vibrant, forward-thinking organisation, this is a great step for you.

The RNLI is an innovative leading UK and International charity and there has never been a more exciting time to join. Every member of staff plays a vital part in saving lives at sea.

Our staff and volunteers have been saving lives at sea without prejudice for nearly 200 years. We respect and value diversity of background, skills and perspectives within our teams, and consider it essential to help us deliver a world-class lifesaving service. We are an inclusive organisation and welcome applications from everyone. In addition to having the skills needed for the role, we also look for applicants who share our commitment to living our RNLI values (trustworthy, courageous, selfless, and dependable), and helping us work towards our goals of halving drowning in the UK and Ireland by 2024. This involves a growing commitment to preventative action, using our expertise to work in partnership with communities locally, nationally and internationally to prevent drowning.
