Fundraising and Admin assistant

Location: Leeds
Contract: Permanent
Hours: 40 hours a week
Salary: £22,000 - £24,000 dependent on experience

The Jane Tomlinson Appeal continues the legacy of the late inspirational Jane Tomlinson CBE.

Jane raised £1.85m for children’s and cancer charities before her untimely death from cancer aged just 43 in 2007. Her endeavours made headlines across the world as she took part in a series of seemingly impossible endurance challenges from the London Marathon, ironman and triathlon competitions, to a 4,200 mile cycle ride across the width of the USA – despite being diagnosed with incurable cancer.

Through the Jane Tomlinson Appeal, and its sister events organisation, Run For All, a massive £10m has now been raised for good causes, mainly children’s and cancer charities.

As the Appeal looks to its future, it is now seeking a fundraiser administrator to manage our database, communicate with fundraisers, recruit and support volunteers and to provide general office support.

With your help, we can fulfil our mission to help children be happier and healthier and to improve the lives of people living with cancer.

The Role
The successful candidate will be the main administrator for the Jane Tomlinson Appeal fundraising team.  

Working in a busy environment, you will be comfortable working to deadlines and juggling several tasks at once. You’ll be managing the database, inputting financial and communications data and generating reports. Along with the general banking for the charity, you will also be responsible for all gift aid claims.

You’ll be supported in your role by volunteers, for whom you will be responsible for recruiting, training and managing.

You will also play an important role in supporter journey of our fundraisers; sending out fundraising packs, T-shirts and good luck cards, ensuring they are thanked promptly following their donations and that any enquiries are dealt with in a timely manner.

Your role will also support the wider fundraising team with general admin tasks, including managing the PO system, tracking invoices and stock management of fundraising supplies.

You will also support the Appeal team at events across the North and the Midlands, which will naturally involve some out of hours and weekend working.

You must also have a full driving license and access to a vehicle to travel to the events (time off in lieu will be given and expenses met).
