We are thrilled to be working with Herts Young Homeless to recruit an Individual Giving Officer to join their small, dedicated fundraising team.  

Herts Young Homeless is a charity whose mission is to break the cycle of homelessness in Hertfordshire through education, advice and support for young people and their families. Set up in 1998, they support 16-24 year-olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and their services range range from prevention to early intervention, crisis support and independent living support. The work they do empowers young people to deal with the difficult situations in their lives, giving them the ability and confidence to 'do it themselves' and ultimately find stability.

The Individual Giving Officer reports into the Head of Fundraising and Communications and is responsible for the Individual Giving income stream, with a revenue target of £90-100K. The Individual Giving programme is relatively new so there is a lot of scope to grow it by providing excellent stewardship through meaningful engagement and thoughtful and creative communications. 

To succeed in the role of Individual Giving Officer, you will need:

• An understanding of support acquisition and retention, supporter journey development and motivations for giving
• Experience of using a CRM database to support relationship management
• Understanding of developing fundraising or communication initiatives or campaigns

Salary: £28,000 - £30,000
Contract: Permanent
Location: Hatfield, Hertfordshire (2 days per week in the office)
