Our Community Fundraising team has ambitious targets to help us in our fight for every heartbeat. We are recruiting for a home based Fundraising Manager to develop and grow our supporter network and income in Oxfordshire, this is a newly created role as we are expanding and investing in our team to help us achieve these goals.

Putting the supporter first, you'll maximise income and awareness for the BHF within your patch through proactively securing and managing community fundraising partnerships and recruiting/supporting networks of fundraising groups, supporters and volunteers.

You'll also proactively build and develop fundraising groups and recruit individual volunteers and supporters; securing fundraising partnerships and delivering national campaigns, local projects and maximising community engagement.

About you

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in fundraising at a community level. You will have been involved in projects such as the winning and management of charity of the year or longer term corporate/clubs/association partnerships, volunteer or people management experiences and supporter/customer engagement.
