Fundraising Manager Work From Home in Surrey

Dementia affects every community, and meaningful change happens when people feel connected to a cause and empowered to support it. At Alzheimer's Society, fundraising plays a vital role in making our work possible. From local community events to corporate partnerships and individual giving, every relationship helps us continue supporting people affected by dementia. As Regional Fundraiser for Surrey, you will help build and strengthen those relationships.

You will work across your local area to engage supporters, develop new opportunities and ensure people feel confident and valued in the difference they are making. You will be part of a collaborative fundraising team, working closely with colleagues across the region. The role combines relationship building, planning and delivery, with a strong focus on community presence and long-term engagement.

What you'll do:

• Develop and deliver fundraising activity across Surrey, working towards agreed income and engagement goals with support and guidance.
• Build and maintain relationships with corporate partners, community groups and individual supporters, ensuring they feel valued and connected to impact.
• Identify and develop new fundraising opportunities through networking, conversation and community engagement.
• Create accessible and engaging ways for people to get involved in fundraising, adapting your approach to different audiences.
• Work closely with colleagues and volunteers across teams to deliver joined up activity and shared goals.
• Monitor activity and income performance, using insight to support planning and decision making.
• Represent Alzheimer's Society at events and in community settings, including occasional evenings and weekends.

This role involves travel across Surrey and occasionally wider areas in the region. Some evening and weekend work will be required, usually linked to events and community activity, and this will be planned in advance wherever possible.

About you:

• You are someone who builds trust easily, enjoys working with people and is motivated by making a difference in your local community.
• Experience of building positive relationships with people, groups or organisations over time.
• Confidence working with basic financial information such as targets or income, with support where needed.
• Ability to spot opportunities and help develop them into practical and achievable plans.
• Understanding of or experience working with volunteers, or appreciation of their role.
• A collaborative approach, working well with colleagues and contributing to shared goals.
• Clear and respectful communication, with the ability to adapt your approach to different people and situations.

You will also bring a willingness to learn, a thoughtful approach to relationship building and an interest in helping people feel connected to a cause that matters to them.

Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on 29th & 30th June via Microsoft Teams.

Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime. At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging:

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society. Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.

We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply. Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team for application support or any adjustments you might need.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society.
