This role is maternity cover lasting 7 months.
Who are we?
Shaw Trust is a progressive charity on an exciting journey to help five times more people over the next five years. For over 30 years we have supported disabled and disadvantaged people to make positive changes to their lives through training and employment, and our ambitious plans need the right people to help us transform many more lives, in many more ways.
What we do is exciting, fulfilling and diverse and it’s about to get even better. As well as employment services, we work with kids in schools, help offenders in prisons, and empower people to take part in activities that many of us would take for granted.
Working with us gives you far more benefits than a standard package; it gives you the chance to help turn someone’s life around.
Purpose of the job:
Working closely with colleagues in the Volunteering and Communications teams, manage the development and delivery of Shaw Trust’s supporter engagement activities, contributing to additional income generation/donations in-kind for community-based projects at the charity and in particular, the schools managed by Shaw Education Trust.
Fundraising is in its infancy at Shaw Trust. The aim of this role is to support existing activity and implement a fundraising strategy within Shaw Education Trust.
Shaw Trust runs a thriving corporate volunteering programme and this role will also be responsible for account-managing the relationships we have with these companies.
The role requires a range of skills, specifically strong relationship-building both internally and externally, fundraising and communications. The role would suit a bright and motivated self-starter with a varied charity background, confident to implement new initiatives internally and develop relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
The post offers an exciting opportunity to use your experience, initiative and innovation skills to scope new ways in which we can make the most of our supporters across the organisation.
