Tell me more about the role:
The main focuses of this job role are in communications, fundraising and volunteer support.
If you are creative and love to communicate with many different audiences, then this might also suit you. Within the role you are going to be communicating with a wide variety of people to help to demonstrate the impact of the work we are doing, this involves social media, report writing, preparing fundraising bids, website editing, newsletters, photography, short video making etc.
You will also be expected to support and manage a variety of fundraising events, from dinners to dances to sporting events. The more money we raise, the more children and families we will be able to support.
This role is for a person who can recruit, train, inspire and support a team of volunteers, as you will be managing a team of UK and Ugandan volunteers on a month long project in Uganda in partnership with Manchester University: https://uomteamuganda.wordpress.com/blog/. You will also be helping to recruit and support other volunteers in both the UK and Uganda to help us to further our objectives.
You will be joining a wonderful team, some of whom are paid staff and others are voluntary who are in the UK and Uganda. Your views will be valued and you will get the chance to work together within our team to problem solve and suggest ideas to improve our programmes at every step of the way.
There would be times when you will be the sole employee in the UK when other team members are overseas, so you need to be self-motivated and able to work remotely from your team.
In the UK we are based in Manchester and in Uganda we are based in Jinja. This job would require you to be based in the UK and spend around 1/4 of the year in Uganda each year. This would be spread across more than one trip per year.
This job can sometimes involve long hours when there are deadlines we are working towards and there is some work in evenings and on weekends.
There will be lots of opportunities for you to learn through the role, as it could support any part of our work within the organisation. You will work closely with our CEO and we will look for as many ways as we can to help you to develop in the role.
