Job Description:
We are seeking a Charity Fundraising Executive to join our Charity Team in Stoke on Trent. We are looking for an ambitious self-starter with excellent communication and organisational skills and some previous project/event management experience.
You will build local relationships with businesses and community groups as well as organise and deliver fundraising events throughout the year. Project managing our annual Mission Christmas campaign in the Staffordshire and Cheshire region is a major part of this role.
You will feel comfortable establishing relationships with all key stakeholders both internally and externally via networking (both in-person and virtually) and be an important brand ambassador for the charity in the local area.
Whilst primarily working in the Staffordshire and Cheshire region, you will also be required to work on Midlands wide projects where necessary.
Our Team
Cash for Kids is the in-house charity of Bauer Media in the UK. Working closely with our colleagues in both the radio and publishing divisions of Bauer, we fundraise all year round to enable us to award grants to help those most in need. Cash for Kids has local fundraising teams in 22 locations across the UK, together with a small central team based in the North East. We’re a passionate, fun, close-knit team, committed to helping children and young people who need us now more than ever.
In this role you will be expected to work at home, in the office and in the field. The office location is in Stoke on Trent.

* Making Cash for Kids famous in the area by seeking out media partner and influencer partnership opportunities.
* Keeping the local Cash for Kids website and social media platforms updated with news stories and engaging content.
In this role you will be responsible for your own set of KPIs and delivery on financial targets.
What we’re looking for
This is a busy role that requires you to be creative, organised, passionate, enthusiastic, driven, committed and not afraid to speak up. But it’s a role where you’ll be rewarded with real first-hand experience of what a difference Cash for Kids makes to children and young people in the local community.
To really help us make a difference you’ll be
* Organised, accurate and thorough with excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
* Proficient in using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint).
* Energetic, enthusiastic, confident, with a hands-on approach and great work ethic.
