Our client is looking for an organised, detail-driven Events Fundraising Assistant to support their events portfolio over a four-month fixed-term contract and help millions of separated children return to family.
About the role
As their Events Fundraising Assistant, you'll play a hands-on, delivery-focused role across a portfolio of fundraising events from mid-August to mid-December 2026. Working closely with the events team, you'll pick up a wide range of coordination tasks, from managing guest lists and dietary requirements to supporting brochure production, silent auction delivery and post-event income tracking. No two days will look the same, and your contribution will have a direct impact on the success of events that fund their mission to eliminate orphanages and ensure every child grows up in a safe, loving family.
About you
We're looking for an Events Fundraising Assistant who is organised, detail-oriented and a confident written communicator, comfortable holding multiple deadlines across several events at once. You'll bring a warm, professional manner to every interaction with guests, donors and suppliers, and you'll have solid Microsoft Office skills, particularly Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Experience supporting event delivery, working with databases, and drafting copy for donor-facing materials are all important. Experience with auction platforms such as Bid Aid, Canva, or a background in charity fundraising would all be a bonus, though none are essential. Most importantly, you'll care about their mission, and you'll understand that every well-run event, every followed-up payment, and every beautifully printed place card helps more children find their way back to family.
About the organisation
Orphanages don't protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them. Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of abuse and extreme neglect. Today, over 5.4 million children are confined to orphanages worldwide, and more than 80% of them are not orphans at all. Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help make this a reality for children.
Salary: £26,314 – £28,347 per annum pro rata, dependent on experience.
Location: Salisbury, with flexible and home working options. Ideally one day per week in our Salisbury office.
Hours: Part-time - 22.5 hours per week (working pattern negotiable, but ideally worked over 4 or 5 days).
Contract: Fixed term - 4 months (mid-August to mid-December 2026).
Closing Date: The final date for applications is 5pm on 14th July 2026 so please get in touch if you have the right skills, experience and passion for our cause. To apply, please upload your CV and a short covering letter telling us why you are interested in working for the organisation and how your experience, skills and values map to the role. There will be a two-stage interview process with the following provisional dates: First stage online interview: 21st or 22nd July; Second stage online interview: 29th July. Please contact us directly if you have any questions.

The role may be subject to safeguarding checks given the nature of our work with children.
