Fundraising Officer

Redeeming Our Communities (ROC) is looking for a temporary full-time Fundraising Officer to support ROC’s growing work in Northern Ireland.

ROC is a national charity with a mission to ‘empower people of goodwill to work together for safer, stronger communities’. Our mission is to transform the UK from the grassroots up. We inspire, train and support volunteers to tackle local social issues such as mental health, youth anti-social behaviour, elderly isolation, family breakdown and the rising cost of living.  

Working for ROC is exciting, rewarding and full of variety. This new role is an excellent opportunity for someone with good attention to detail and excellent communication skills who is exploring a fundraising career in the charitable, community and voluntary sector.

You will need to be confident and personable, with good communication and IT skills as well as a  ‘can-do’ attitude and ability to get things done.  The full-time role has a strategic fundraising focus with the aim of maximising financial sustainability for ROC's work in Northern Ireland. The Fundraising Officer will build on the significant achievements of recent years, which has seen ROC expand reach and enhance impact as a community engagement charity. The role involves developing new income streams and cultivating a robust donor base to foster successful, long-term relationships.

The post commences on 6th January 2025 for one-year and is fully funded by the Rank Foundation. An essential component of the role is the training and development opportunities on the Time To Shine programme. You will be required to actively participate in all learning, networking and conference events which will require, on occasion, travel across the UK. Please read the accompanying ‘Time To Shine 2025 Candidate Guide’ for further details on the learning and development programme.  

The Fundraising Officer role is a unique opportunity to build your experience as well as grow your knowledge of fundraising, the sector and the wide range of issues affecting communities.
