We’re hiring: Fundraising & Volunteer Coordinator

Are you looking for a new role in a flexible, people-first environment that’s working to make the world better for humans and animals? We’re currently hiring a Fundraising & Volunteer Coordinator to join our Fundraising & Communications team. 

About the role 

We are looking for a thoughtful and proactive individual to join our small but passionate team at Replacing Animal Research to help support our vision of a world where non-animal methods are considered scientific best practice.

You do not need to have a background in science to apply for this role.

This role will work closely with the Head of Fundraising and Communications, Digital Engagement Coordinator, CEO, and wider Replacing Animal Research Team to support on fundraising activities and embed volunteers across the organisation. The role will help us expand our volunteer capacity, work to embed regular giving and community fundraising, and communicate with our donors via our twice-yearly mailing. There is also an opportunity to support Corporate, Trust, Legacy, and Major Giving as of interest to the successful candidate.

As our Fundraising & Volunteer Coordinator you will:

• Coordinate the recruitment and management of volunteers at Replacing Animal Research
• Develop stewardship plans for our regular givers to ensure they feel appreciated and informed
• Support our fundraising activities, including regular and community giving, through creative fundraising ideas and managing thoughtful, inclusive relationships
• Manage physical communications with donors including thank you letters and a twice-yearly mailing
• Support the wider Replacing Animal Research team to work well with volunteers and ensure both parties have a rewarding experience
• Deliver activity in a compliant way, adhering to GDPR and fundraising regulations and Code of Conduct
• Maintain accurate donor and volunteer information in our database, Beacon
• Use data and evidence to improve and refine activity
• Be a collaborative, supportive member of the Fundraising & Communications Team and feed into wider team activities as needed
• Be an ambassador for Replacing Animal Research promoting the vision, aims, and objectives of the charity

Who will you be working alongside?   

Replacing Animal Research has a long, and proud, history as the oldest charity focused on replacing animals in biomedical testing.  We have been influential in developing and validating new research methods as well as advising regulators and policymakers.    

We’re a close-knit team and because of our small team size, we’re able to work incredibly collaboratively, supporting each other, and ensuring we all have a voice in Replacing Animal Research’s growth – including you. Find out more about us by visiting our meet the team page.  

Applications close on 15th February with interviews being conducted the week commencing 27th February.
