Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys building lasting relationships, has excellent communication skills and is motivated by delivering outstanding supporter experiences. You'll be comfortable managing multiple priorities, confident working independently and excited by the opportunity to help grow an ambitious fundraising programme.
