Location: North Chailey, BN8 4EF (Hybrid working available after induction)

Salary: £25,298 per annum

Hours: Full time, 37 hours - must be available to work Fridays and occasionally evenings or weekends for events

The Role

As their new Fundraising Assistant, you’ll be at the heart of their Fundraising Team — the friendly first point of contact for supporters, donors, and partners.
This is a fantastic opportunity to build your skills in fundraising, supporter care, and charity communications while making a genuine difference every day.

You’ll be part of a passionate, supportive team that values creativity, collaboration, and curiosity. No two days are the same — one moment you’ll be welcoming a visitor or thanking a donor, and the next you’ll be helping prepare for one of their brilliant community events.

In this varied and rewarding role, you will:

Be the first point of contact for fundraising enquiries — from donors and event participants to community groups and corporate partners
Support fundraising campaigns and events, helping inspire and steward their amazing supporters
Maintain accurate supporter records and help process donations, thank-you's, and communications
Assist with prospect research and event administration
Create engaging copy for posters, newsletters, and supporter communications
Ensure supporters, volunteers, and visitors always have a positive experience them

You’ll also have opportunities to attend events, build relationships, and grow your knowledge of charity fundraising.

What They’re Looking For

They’re looking for someone who is:

Friendly, professional, and confident communicating with people at all levels
Organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities
A strong team player with a proactive, can-do attitude
Comfortable using Microsoft Office and databases (experience with CRM systems is a plus)
Keen to learn and grow within a supportive team

Experience in fundraising or a customer-facing role is desirable, but not essential — if you’re enthusiastic, curious, and eager to make a difference, they’d love to hear from you.

Benefits

Enhanced annual leave (25–30 days plus bank holidays)
Healthcare cash plan
Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing resources
Retail and leisure discounts
Contributory pension scheme with access to their enhanced plan
Death in Service benefit
Enhanced family leave policies
Cycle to Work scheme
Free onsite parking, café, and kitchen facilities

They also cover the cost of all DBS checks and renewals.
