Could you be a fundraiser for the FWBO?

Could you be a fundraiser for the FWBO?

The FWBO European Chairs Assembly would like to recruit a fundraiser to:
* Help centres run more effective fundraising and dana economies, through offering them advice and consultancy, organising training days for their staff, and producing materials and resources.
* Devise fundraising strategies to generate income for movement-wide projects and individuals, so as to support them and also relieve the burden on central funding.
* Work with the FWBO development team on a movement-wide legacies campaign.

We’re looking for an Order member or mitra who’d like an exciting and challenging project! It may be that you do or don’t have previous fundraising experience. Either way, we are offering a generous allowance for training from the UK Institute of Fundraisers. There’s also the offer of help and mentoring from an existing professional fundraiser, making this a great opportunity to learn and develop new skills.

You’d need to be:
* Confident, out-going, and able to connect and engage with people quickly.
* Able to support and mentor those working for FWBO projects and give them confidence.
* Able to think strategically and put fundraising appeals together.
* Able to go into a new situation and suss it out fairly quickly, provide analysis and advice.
* Able to be creative and innovative.

The job is full-time, though we are open to discussing part-time or project-based work. There is a support package of up to £12K, plus a further budget for expenses and training. If you are interested but the details above don’t quite work for you (e.g. you want to work part-time) contact us anyway and we can talk about it!

You’d be employed by the Indrajala Trust (the charity of the European Chairs Meeting) and would work with the chairs meeting, and also members of the FWBO Development Team.

Contact Vajragupta on 0121-447-7427 for more information, or an application form. The deadline for applications is 21st November 2007, and we hope to meet all applicants in London on 23rd November.
