About Missing People
Somebody goes missing in the UK every 90 seconds. Missing People exists to ease the heartache experienced by those missing someone, and to help people who are away from home find their way back to safety. Our vision is for every missing child, adult and family left behind to find help, hope and a safe way to reconnect. We are a non‑judgemental, highly skilled team of staff and volunteers working for everyone who needs us. We provide free, confidential support, help and advice by phone, email, text and live chat. We coordinate a UK‑wide network of people, businesses and media to join the search for the estimated 170,000 people who go missing each year. Missing People aims to put people with lived experience at the heart of our work, amplifying their voices to achieve change.
The impact you will have
As the Events and Community Fundraising Manager you will lead the delivery of events and community activity that engages people to raise vital funds for Missing People. Missing People relies on support from individual members of the public who take on an event or activity to raise awareness and vital funds for missing people and the charity. This role will lead the development, delivery and growth of this income area through engagement and stewardship of these valued supporters. This includes developing a balanced portfolio of events and community activity and working directly with the community of people with experience of the issue of missing.
You will use your experience and enthusiasm to inspire individuals and groups to support the charity. You will drive our events portfolio forwards, using your rapport skills to quickly establish relationships with providers, internal teams and supporters, and your agile, ambitious approach will allow us to grab hold of the best possible opportunities.
You will lead a team to deliver an exciting Events and Community offering – an inspiring programme throughout the year including "Light the Way" and other challenges which you can read about on our Events page, as well as our Community fundraising efforts – such as engaging volunteers to hold collections at G4 concerts throughout December.
About You
You will need to have:
* Significant experience in a challenge events fundraising role, successfully delivering against income targets within agreed deadlines;
* Experience of developing and monitoring the implementation of fundraising strategies, budgets and operational plans;
* Proven experience of growing an engaged supporter or customer base;
* Experience of line management or managing the activities of staff or volunteers;
* Good knowledge of community and events products used by charities to engage supporters and raise funds;
* Legal right to work in the UK.
What you will get in return
Missing People is a friendly and supportive place to work – it's a welcoming, caring organisation which really makes a difference to people affected by the issue of missing throughout the UK. We offer generous paid holidays, a range of enhanced family‑friendly benefits and are happy to talk about flexible working in most roles.
