About the Charity

NOAH Enterprise is a charity which seeks to help the most disadvantaged in the local community, providing a practical, empowering and caring service to people who are homeless particularly those who are temporary or entrenched rough sleepers, and those who are marginalised and socially excluded, or have simply fallen into poverty. The consequences of the cost-of-living crisis and the aftermath of the pandemic mean we expect to see increasing numbers of people homeless and rough sleeping, seeking our help. With your help, they can continue to support people who have nowhere else to turn, across Luton, and central Bedfordshire.

This is a career-defining role where you will be working with the Head of Fundraising and Community Engagement to be an integral part of their Fundraising team, contributing to the growth of voluntary income and playing a key role in expanding our services across the region.

About the role

As a Community Fundraiser at NOAH, your responsibilities will include building and maintaining relationships with the local community to generate income and increase NOAH’s presence at local events.

You will plan and execute in-house and third-party fundraising events while stewarding participants throughout the process. This will involve cultivating relationships with various individuals, schools, colleges, religious groups, businesses, and social clubs to encourage participation in NOAH initiatives.

You will collaborate with the Head of Fundraising to create a Community Fundraising strategy that aligns with ambitious fundraising targets. As part of this role, you will also be responsible for monitoring budgets to ensure regulatory compliance.

Who we are looking for

You will have experience in fundraising from a professional or voluntary capacity and a desire to develop your career in this area.

You will have strong relationship management experience and be motivated to providing excellent customer/supporter experiences leading to long term, mutually beneficial relationships.

You will be a self-starter and be confident engaging with stakeholders, attending networking events and building up a pipeline of contacts.
