Fundraising Officer
Location: Milton Keynes (flexible home-based working available during pandemic, but due to the nature of the role we’d give preference to those living within commutable distance to our office in Milton Keynes).

The support of individuals is the lifeblood of our charity and we value every donation that we receive. The delivery of our vital services for spinal cord injured people is only possible because of the income we receive from sources including Trusts, fundraising appeals, in memory donations, in celebration gifts, regular donations, major donors, legacies and the sale of our Christmas cards.

With strong connections to a range of sports including horseracing, rugby and F1, we are well positioned to build our networks further and expand our community of supporters. With the support of our Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, as well as our President, Vice Presidents and Ambassadors, SIA has enormous potential to grow and diversify our fundraising income.

As Fundraising Officer, you will report to the Donor Development Coordinator to support SIA’s individual giving and charitable trust fundraising activities, as well as help establish a new major donor fundraising programme. Our ideal candidate will have at least one year’s experience in a paid or voluntary fundraising role – we will also consider applications outside of the Charity sector.

You will also have experience in building relationships and achieving financial or non-financial goals. To be successful in this role, you will need attention to detail, strong communication, administrative and organisational skills, as well as a high degree of tact and diplomacy. If this is you, please get in touch.

The deadline for applications is 28th February 2021 and interviews will be held on Monday 8th March either virtually or at SIA House, Milton Keynes.
