Fundraising and Project Executive - Soccer Aid

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as a Fundraising and Project Executive working on the Soccer Aid for UNICEF campaign. The scope of the Project Executive role is broad. You will be responsible for delivering several projects which will support in achieving the objectives of the Soccer Aid for UNICEF campaign. This includes the delivery of youth engagement projects and support fundraising, partnerships and project initiatives. The role requires strong attention to detail and excellent project management skills, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. This is a collaborative role working with multiple colleagues and providing support across a variety of team projects and workstreams to unlock fundraising opportunities and deliver excellent partner and supporter experiences, maximising income and impact for children.

Please bear in mind that when you write your response to our application questions, you demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and understanding of the role requirements and how well UNICEF UK's values and mission aligns with yours. Relying completely on Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT in answering questions will impact your answers and individuality. We are gradually moving back to our offices on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London and we anticipate most colleagues will work one or two days a week in the office and the rest of the time from home. We will happily discuss other flexible options to suit your circumstances. We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, disabled candidates, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at UNICEF UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.

UNICEF UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We welcome a conversation about your flexible working requirements, personal growth, and promoting a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.
