In this position, you will also work closely with other fundraising colleagues to increase income generation, stewardship of our supporters, and help the team to achieve annual fundraising targets. The post holder must possess good Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook skills, and the ability to learn other skills.

This is an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic and committed person to join our dynamic and growing team. This permanent position (after probation) is ideally suited to someone with an office background who would like to develop a career in a busy and supportive workplace.
