About Us
Caritas Diocese of Salford is the principal social action agency of the Catholic Diocese. Our mission is to put Love Into Action. We help those across Greater Manchester and Lancashire experiencing poverty, disadvantage, and discrimination to transform their lives with dignity. We provide a practical response to those in crisis, suffering hardship or who are at risk. We rebuild lives for the long-term, enabling people to live in a safe, healthy, and secure environment. We call for a better, more just world, where the voices of the poor are heard and acted upon and positively influence the systems, decisions and resources that affect those in need.
About the Job
Are you an experienced fundraiser who would love to see an end to poverty, homelessness and disadvantage in our local communities? Will you help us in our mission to provide practical support to those in crisis, suffering hardship, or at risk by joining our fundraising team? We need your talent and fundraising experience so that we can help local families and individuals rebuild their lives for the long term.
You would be joining Caritas Salford at an incredibly exciting time in its 100-plus year history of providing charitable services to local communities in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. We have just opened a brand-new supported homelessness accommodation project in Manchester this month, to provide 19 bedrooms to men who would otherwise be homeless. We have ambitious plans to continue to open up more projects like this. We help thousands of adults, young people and children every year through our numerous projects and services.
With pioneering plans for the future, we need exceptional fundraisers to join the team who will make it happen. The Community and Events Fundraiser will be the lead fundraiser helping to develop and manage community-based and event-driven fundraising initiatives, forging strong relationships with individuals, community groups, parishes, and local organisations. They will focus on creative and innovative approaches to engage supporters, tracking fundraising performance in their respective area, and stewarding donors and corporate volunteers.
Early applications are strongly encouraged as all applications will be reviewed as soon as they are received.
