This is an exciting opportunity for an exceptional individual with proven experience to join our small and successful national charity as our fundraising officer.
Unlock has achieved a great deal for the people we support and that is testament to the talents of our dedicated team of staff and volunteers. Through listening and engaging with people who face difficulties because of their convictions we have an impressive track record of identifying issues, finding solutions and putting them into practice. We also influence policy and create systemic change.
Whilst we are a small charity we punch above our weight; we’re resourceful, impactful and work efficiently with like-minded organisations so that, together, we can achieve our aims. We are widely recognised as the go-to organisation in this arena.
We’re looking for a professional fundraiser with a record of developing compelling and successful grant applications and positive funder relationships.
If you are motivated to help people move on positively with their lives and create a fairer and more inclusive society, this is the place for you.
