Are you a people person with a passion for purpose? Do you thrive on building meaningful relationships and inspiring others to give back? Join a compassionate and forward-thinking care provider in North London as a Community Engagement Officer and help shape a future where every family receives the care and support, they deserve.

This is more than a fundraising role. It's a chance to connect hearts, build partnerships, and grow a vital community giving programme from 310,000 to 650,000 over the next three years.

Key Responsibilities:

• Implementing and developing donor acquisition and retention strategies across the local area.
• Identifying external networks that will support and grow funding capabilities.
• Lead outreach efforts to engage new local community partners and be the key point of contact for organisations.
• Identifying and securing community grants and funding from local appeals.
• Plan and deliver engaging stewardship events for key audiences.
• Oversee and attend bucket collections and charity stalls at public and private events.
• Analysing the effectiveness of fundraising initiatives to ensure targets are met.
• Providing exceptional stewardship to supporters.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a friendly and confident professional with:

• Experience in community fundraising or corporate partnerships.
• Demonstrable track record meeting fundraising income targets, supporter acquisition and retention.
• A proven track record of managing community groups and long-term partnerships.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to develop influential partnerships both internally and externally.
• Previous experience of event management is preferred but not essential.
• A confident speaker with excellent presentation skills.
• A valid UK driving licence is essential, as you will travel across the catchment area to meet supporters and attend events.
