Job Summary

Are you passionate about building relationships with supporters and working with communities to generate income for a great cause? If so, we are looking for a highly organised and dynamic individual who can help get the most out of this key and fast-growing area of income for Brooke.

The Community Engagement Officer will play a pivotal role in our Legacy and Community Engagement Team. You will be responsible for helping to grow our network of community groups and key individuals. In order to do this, you will provide first-class stewardship to some of our most enthusiastic and engaged supporters, helping them to organise locally and maximising income. You will also be Brooke’s representative at an exciting range of virtual and in-person events, promoting our cause and encouraging further support.

All of this work will be underpinned by scrupulous planning and a keen focus on income and expenditure across the programme. You will work with the Community, Events and Stewardship Manager to ensure we can deliver on our ambitious 5-year strategy.

About You

You will have excellent people skills and a passion for animal welfare that can match some of our most loyal supporters. You will also have strong business awareness and keep an eye on return on investment at all times.

We are an ambitious international animal welfare charity and in order to thrive, you will need to be independent, well organised, hands-on, unflappable, creative, analytical, data-driven, focused on results, demonstrate attention to detail and be able to prioritise your work.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with stewardship and communities experience who also has a flair for building relationships with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders. Being a good team player is key to working collaboratively as part of the Legacy and Community Engagement team and wider Fundraising Directorate.

You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills. And you will have excellent organisation skills and the ability to prioritise work effectively to meet targets and deadlines. You will have a proactive approach and be willing to travel or work unsocial hours on occasion.

You will be joining a friendly and passionate Legacy and Community Engagement team at a really exciting time for Brooke.

If you are interested in the role and meet the criteria, we will look forward to hearing from you.

At Brooke, we celebrate diversity and the creative new ideas it brings. We actively encourage applications from all backgrounds, in particular global majority candidates, candidates from a social mobility background, disabled and neuro-diverse candidates, and candidates under 25 as these groups are currently under-represented at Brooke.

We are aware that studies have shown that women and global majority candidates are less likely to apply for a role if they feel they do not meet the full criteria of the job description. If you feel you meet the majority of the criteria, we would love to hear from you.

We offer a variety of flexible working options to best support our staff and to ensure our working practices are as inclusive as possible.
