We are currently recruiting for a part-time Fundraising Officer for a fantastic local charity in Hertfordshire. To work with them on a hybrid and part time basis, 20-25 hours a week, in a position that will focus very much on the development and maintaining of relationships.

The Pepper Foundation is a charity that raises funds to support home nursing services to local children with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses. We have supported them for years and they are recruiting for this part time and mostly remote based member of the team to join them in a very rewarding role.

This role is mainly focussed on raising funds for the Pepper Foundation from community fundraising and events and assisting in the development of other key income streams, such as major donors, regular giving and corporate fundraising.

How will you support this? You’ll be helping with the growth of income by developing and maintaining relationships with volunteers, schools, local community-based businesses and other community groups.

The role will mainly be completed from home, but there will be some requirements to visit the head office in Tring although these are minimal, as well as a need to be available to help with the setup of any gazebo/stands at local events (This is just to help with setup, trustees and volunteers are there for the day to day events and close down).

This position will be paying £28k to £32k for the right person, pro-rata’d based on the hours/days that you agree to work.

The charity are fully open and flexible to working patterns to suit the right person, 20-25 hours a week split over 5 days and working around school runs, or working fewer days and longer hours, this is very flexible.

This role would be ideal for someone organised with great administration and people skills, you must be able to drive and have access to a car (due to the requirement to get to the Tring office as well as any possible events) and the equipment to do this role will be provided.
