Could you inspire the business community to tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness with us? Do you want to help shape and support ambitious fundraising plans to create transformational change?

If so, this role leading our corporate partnership and events support is for you.

About Cyrenians

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We take a values-led and relationships-based approach to delivering our services because we understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures.

About the Relationships Team

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do at Cyrenians, with those we support and those who support us too. It’s an exciting time for Fundraising at Cyrenians. As a relatively new team, our income generation is growing rapidly. On the cusp of delivering some transformative partnerships and achieving great success with new fundraising methods, we’re expanding our team to continue delivering growth in unrestricted income.

About the role

Our Corporate donor base is growing fast, and this new role will be responsible for developing the opportunities this brings. As Corporate and Events Fundraising Officer, you will take the lead on partnership activity, designing and implementing amazing experiences for our supporters to maximise the value of these relationships. This role sits within the wider Relationships Team - incorporating Fundraising, Communications and Press & Public Affairs. It is a rewarding role and is part of a collaborative, supportive and motivated team. 

About you

You’ll be an experienced fundraiser with a ‘can-do’ attitude and a genuine interest in putting our supporters first, preferably with experience of a corporate audience. You’ll be able to spot opportunities and be creative and motivated enough to put a variety of new ideas into action.
Like us, you’ll be relationships-based and values-led in all that you do. Your excellent organisational skills will keep you on track in a varied role, and your strong interpersonal skills will inspire a real variety of supporters to tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness with us.

How we’ll support you

As part of the Relationships Team, you’ll be supported by experienced colleagues who share your passion to tackle homelessness and its root causes. We’ll encourage you to be creative and innovative, and to take a pragmatic approach to planning and implementing new initiatives. 

You will be supported to attend training and networking events to deepen your knowledge of the issues surrounding homelessness and social exclusion; engage with the local business community and extend your professional network. You will also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.
