Events and Community Fundraising Coordinator

at  Prostate Cancer UK

WHAT THE JOB INVOLVES

We’re looking for an Events and Community Fundraising Coordinator to join our Events and Community Team. A high performing team who are driven to maximise opportunities, we aim to reach ambitious targets and provide an excellent supporter experience.

Our team raise funds through a range of activities including:

• our own events (e.g. March for Men)
• virtual products (e.g. The Month Series)
• third party events (e.g. London Marathon)
• Golf Days
• helping community fundraisers who organise their own activity

You’ll be our first point of contact for our fundraisers. You’ll provide admin and support through telephone, email, and social media channels. You’ll build and manage relationships with existing and new supporters. From registration to the end of their supporter journey you’ll help motivate during challenges, offer fundraising advice and ensure thanks at the end of a first-class experience.
Whilst each Coordinator has a primary area of responsibility across different types of events, you’ll also work across teams to support where needed during busy periods of activity.
This role works with data through maintaining our Raiser’s Edge database. You’ll also update records on JustGiving and Facebook Fundraising. This requires accuracy and working under the requirements of GDPR.
You’ll also work with our Communications teams. This supports the planning and delivery of our activity. You’ll help engage with our digital adverts and identify compelling supporter stories. This helps to raise the profile of our fundraising products, as well as prostate cancer and Prostate Cancer UK.

• Excellent communication skills via telephone, email, and digital platforms
• Experience of using a database to maintain accurate records and reporting on results
• Excellent organisational skills to support complex activity streams – using own initiative when required and able to manage multiple and competing priorities and deliver in a fast-paced environment
• Experienced at coordinating activity between teams to support effective working across the whole organisation
• Proven ability to maintain confidentiality and act with discretion when handling sensitive and confidential informatio
