WHO WE ARE
We are Zarach, the children s bed charity. We are on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night s sleep and the chance to thrive at school.
In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has enabled us to deliver over 16,000 bed bundles to children to date.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
As we grow, we are looking to recruit a Fundraising and Supporter Engagement Officer to join the Fundraising team, for an initial fixed-term period of 12-months.

This is a hybrid role based between the Leeds warehouse and home, with at least two days per week at the warehouse. Some travel to other locations may be required occasionally for events.
You will be an enthusiastic team player with strong communication and interpersonal skills. You will be organised and able to manage multiple tasks and priorities, and work to deadlines.
