• Build and maintain relationships with donors, sponsors, businesses and community supporters.
• Coordinate marketing and communications activities, working with external digital marketing and design providers.
• Oversee the production of our Annual Report and other organisational publications.
• Support the CEO with major donor and philanthropic engagement.
• Maintain accurate fundraising records, monitor outcomes and report on performance.

About You

You will bring:

• Demonstrated experience in fundraising, grants, events or a similar role, ideally within the not-for-profit sector.
• Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritise competing demands and meet deadlines.
• Strong written communication skills, including experience preparing funding applications, proposals and promotional materials.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
• Strong digital skills, including Microsoft 365, Canva and experience with donor databases and digital communication platforms.
• A proactive, resourceful and solutions-focused approach.
• The ability to take ownership of projects and deliver outcomes independently.
• A genuine commitment to supporting vulnerable young people and families.
• Minimum 3 years' experience in fundraising.
• Relevant qualifications and/or equivalent professional experience.
• Current Paid Working with Children Check.
• Current unrestricted NSW Driver Licence and access to a vehicle.
• Meaningful work: Contribute to an organisation making a genuine difference in the lives of vulnerable young people.
• Autonomy and ownership: Enjoy the opportunity to manage a diverse portfolio and bring your ideas to life.
• Variety: Work across fundraising, events, grants, marketing and community engagement.
• Supportive environment: Work directly with the CEO and alongside a committed team.
