Public Fundraising Executive (Challenge Events)

Public Fundraising Executive (Challenge Events)

£27,597 - £32,853 per annum

Fixed-term contract – 10 months

Unicef ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

The Public Fundraising Team at Unicef UK is responsible for events and community fundraising: recruiting people and organisations to raise money to support our work by either taking part in an event or organising their own fundraising. We support and inspire those people once recruited and build a relationship with them to retain their support for Unicef UK.

As Public Fundraising Executive for challenge events, you will provide excellent fundraising stewardship and supporter communications to participants brought in through challenge events partnerships and third party events.

To succeed, you will have fundraising experience along with demonstrable evidence of building and nurturing relationships across different audiences, motivating fundraising support and driving increased income.  You will have experience of developing and delivering supporter care plans, as well as producing engaging communications across different channels to provide an exceptional supporter experience. You will also excel at supporting on or delivering an event.

This fantastic opportunity is offered for ten months with a possibility of extension beyond that period.
