We are looking for a Fundraising & Sponsorship Coordinator ready to grow their career. This is a standout opportunity for someone early in their journey who wants hands-on exposure across fundraising, partnerships and events.
About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Fundraising & Marketing, you’ll play a key role in driving revenue, building partnerships, and supporting campaigns that make a real impact. From collaborating with sponsors and writing grant applications to delivering multiple fundraising drives that support chopper appeal, this is a hands-on role with exposure across all areas of fundraising.
It’s a fast-moving, career-building opportunity where you’ll learn quickly, gain mentorship, and develop highly transferable skills, all while contributing to a purpose-driven organisation.
About you
You’re highly organised and detail-driven and looking for a step up and to get your career on track. A confident communicator, you can write persuasively and engage a wide range of stakeholders.

You naturally connect with people and bring a positive, energetic presence to every interaction. Most importantly, you’re ambitious, coachable and motivated to grow your career in fundraising, partnerships or marketing.
Experience in fundraising, events or marketing is a bonus — but attitude, drive, and accountability will set you apart.
