We are looking for a creative individual who already has some experience of fundraising and has an awareness of the different types of activities/events that could work as potential funding streams for our charity. Some experience of marketing would also be desirable but is not essential.
Ideally a Fundraising Coordinator is someone who:
- Can communicate effectively and has excellent interpersonal skills.
- Has the ability to work well in a team.
- Ensures they are well informed of all organisation activities.
- Ensures they are aware of the future directions and plans of Borderline Arts.
- Has a good working knowledge of what Borderline Arts is all about and what we are fundraising for.
- Is positive and enthusiastic and has creative flair.
- Has access to internet, email, web, MS Word, MS Excel or equivalent/compatible.
- Has good numeracy skills with the ability to accurately enter and record financial data.
- Has experience of using basic databases including Windows based software packages.
- Has the ability to delegate successfully.
Appointment terms and Time Commitment Required
- The Fundraising Officer is appointed for a term, which is negotiated between the Chair and the applicant. The minimum term is 6 months.
- The estimated time commitment required as the Fund raising Officer of Borderline is 6 hours per week. Some weeks will be much less, some much more – so there is a need for flexibility.
- Attendance at monthly Committee Meetings (approx 1 hour in length)
- At all times, remember that Borderline’s focus is to raise awareness/understanding of and reduce stigma surrounding BPD, using the arts – ensure whatever you are doing is achieving that aim, or leading us to be able to do that more.
