Community Fundraising Coordinator

Come and join us as our Community Fundraising Coordinator at Diabetes UK and be part of a Fundraising Team that is driven to raise as much money as possible so we can support people living with, and at risk of, diabetes now and in the future.

You'll be responsible for managing your own pool of community fundraisers, providing excellent supporter care and helping them make the most of their fundraising. You'll be the first point of contact for supporters and enquirers, responding across a range of channels and building strong relationships that encourage long-term engagement.

You'll also work closely with colleagues across the Community & Events Team and the wider organisation, providing effective fundraising and administrative support. You'll help maintain and improve the systems, processes and supporter journeys that enable us to deliver an excellent experience and maximise income.

We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive and motivated by building relationships and delivering great supporter experiences. You'll be confident managing a busy workload, communicating with a wide range of audiences and identifying opportunities to improve how we work.

Join us and be a part of something truly transformative. Together, we can change the narrative around diabetes and create a more inclusive world.

This role is office based with hybrid working. We ask colleagues to spend at least one day a week in the office, with flexibility to come in more often when it supports collaboration or the needs of the Charity.

For nearly 5 million people with diabetes in the UK, there's no day off. At Diabetes UK, we fight day in, day out for better care, treatment and support. We won't stop until diabetes can do no harm.

With more people than ever living with diabetes and millions more at risk of developing type 2, our work has never been more needed. We make sure they get the care and support needed to live well with diabetes and avoid devastating complications.

We fund critical research, which has led to life-changing discoveries - like the first insulin pen and programmes to put type 2 diabetes into remission. Now, we want to do this for everyone and find a cure.

We can't do any of this without you. Our staff are passionate and determined about helping everyone affected by diabetes. For over 85 years, they've been behind vital policy changes, as well as new treatments and technologies to make living with diabetes easier every day.

But there's more to do. And you can be part of it. Our vision is a world where diabetes can do no harm. Join us today, and together, we can make that a reality.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Diabetes does not affect everyone equally and as a charity we are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. We seek to better reflect those we serve. This means we actively seek to reach a diverse pool of candidates in our recruitment processes and particularly welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented at senior level, including those from Black, Asian and other ethnic minority backgrounds. It also means if you have a disability or long-term condition, we're happy to consider any reasonable adjustments you might need to take part in the process and succeed in the role, just let our HR team know via recruitment@diabetes.org.uk

We have a friendly and inclusive working environment here at Diabetes UK and are proud of our hybrid approach which allows great flexibility in the way that we work. This means that you can balance your working time between home and the office, subject to the needs of your role.

Please note that all job offers are subject to you providing acceptable evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK and satisfactory references and a DBS check if required.
