Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a collaborative and proactive individual with extensive supporter engagement and relationship management experience to join us as our Central Fundraising & Engagement Executive, where you will play a key role in inspiring and supporting Save the Children fundraisers, volunteers and companies across the UK to maximise income generation and engagement.

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

About the role

As Central Fundraising & Engagement Executive, you will be the first point of contact for Save the Children fundraisers, volunteers and corporate supporters, delivering excellent supporter experiences to inspire action and deepen relationships.

You will create engaging communications, manage operational processes, and collaborate across teams to support key campaigns and projects such as Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day.

This is a hybrid role, working from our London Farringdon head office circa 2 days per week.

In this role, you will:

• Manage relationships with community volunteers, individual fundraisers, and corporate contacts to provide a high standard of supporter care.
• Develop and deliver comprehensive stewardship plans to inspire and maximise fundraising and engagement.
• Create engaging and effective communications across multiple channels for internal and external audiences.
• Support the development of fundraising resources to equip supporters with ideas and tools for successful activities.
• Provide operational and communications support for key departmental campaigns, emergency appeals and initiatives.
• Contribute to income forecasting and pipeline management for the Regional Fundraising & Engagement team.

About you

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Proven experience in delivering exceptional fundraiser or customer care.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage and inspire supporters.
• Experience using CRM databases (preferably Salesforce) and confident with Microsoft Office programmes including Word, Excel and Outlook.
• A good understanding of fundraising rules and regulations.
• Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritise effectively.
• A proven ability to build strong relationships with colleagues, supporters and suppliers.
• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.

What we offer you

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.

We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

To learn more about the position, please review the Job Description in the attached Documents.

Closing date: 3 August 2025

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Ways of Working:

In this role you will be required to come to your contracted office circa 2 days per week. This will be discussed and agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
