Community Fundraising Executive

Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week) Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office.

Our Events and Community Fundraising team raises vital funds for Prostate Cancer UK through a wide range of activities, events and challenge events. As Community Fundraising Executive, you’ll be a key member of our sector-leading team, raising over £5 million each year from individuals organising their own fundraising events and local-level corporate partnerships. You’ll build strong, meaningful relationships with mid and high-value supporters, providing tailored stewardship that motivates, inspires and maximises their long-term fundraising impact.

Working closely with the Community Fundraising Manager and wider team, you’ll identify emerging opportunities, spot potential high-value fundraisers and help shape the growth of our community fundraising programme. In collaboration with colleagues across the charity, you’ll make sure our amazing community fundraisers feel recognised and thanked for their contributions and are celebrated across our media and digital channels.

What we want from you:

• You’ll bring experience in community or events fundraising, with a real understanding of what motivates people to take on their own challenges and how to give them an exceptional supporter experience.
• Highly organised and confident juggling a varied workload, you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days look the same.
• You use insight, curiosity and good judgement to spot opportunities, identify potential high value fundraisers and make informed decisions that strengthen supporter relationships and improve the fundraiser experience.
• A natural communicator, you know how to build rapport quickly, whether you’re speaking one-to-one with a fundraiser, presenting to a group or crafting warm, motivating messages that inspire action.
• You’ll be comfortable analysing data, tracking performance and using CRM systems to keep accurate, high-quality records and identify any trends or areas for improvement.
• Collaborative and proactive, you enjoy working with colleagues across teams and take pride in delivering work that reflects professionalism, empathy and attention to detail.
• Above all, you care deeply about people. You’ll champion fundraisers throughout their journey with us, building relationships that grow stronger over time and supporting them as they take on new challenges year after year.
• You’ll bring enthusiasm, empathy and a genuine passion for nurturing lasting connections, ensuring every supporter feels valued, motivated and continually inspired to make an impact.

Why work with us?

Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year. Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease. Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

What we offer:

• Generous leave entitlements that increase with service.
• One “development day” a month to use for training or personal development.
• Enhanced contributory pension scheme.
• Life insurance and group income protection.
• Health Cash Plan.
• Life and wellbeing advice and support via our Employee Assistance Programme.
• Discounted gym membership and high street shopping discounts.
• Loans for season tickets or cycles.

This role is in salary Band 2B, with a starting salary of £29,500 – £34,750 per year. We aim to pay the median salary for charity the sector. Following 12 months of successful service, colleagues will move to the midpoint of the pay band. The midpoint salary for this role is £34,750. Our salaries reflect that the London office is our contractual place of work. We also pay a working-from-home allowance at the HMRC tax-free rate of £312 per year. We are committed to paying at least the London Living Wage for all roles and apply the updated rate each April.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion:

At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men’s risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we’re dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We’re also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally. We’ve also signed Business in the Community’s Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities.

Our people networks:

• Pride – A safe space where LGBTQ+ colleagues – and our allies – can share their diverse lived experiences, celebrate LGBTQ+ culture and history, and create new ideas about how our organisation can be more inclusive and representative of LGBTQ+ people.
• Mind and Body – Here to increase awareness, promote wellbeing and support colleagues affected by neurodiversity, mental health problems, disability and long-term illness.
• Culture Club – Here to increase awareness and celebrate the different cultures and beliefs that we have in the organisation, so that we all have our cultures felt and are welcomed.

How and where we work:

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs. Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues. We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
