Job description

Community Fundraising & Individual Giving Officer

Salary : £30,000–£32,000 FTE (depending on experience)

Hours : Part time, 22.5–30 hours per week (flexible, with some evenings and weekends)

Location : Hybrid - mainly home-based, with meetings across Aylesbury Vale

Contract : Permanent

At Youth Concern, we create spaces where 13–25 year olds in Aylesbury Vale can feel safe, be real and be themselves. Through our Drop‑in Centre, counselling, and homelessness prevention projects, we help young people overcome challenges and build brighter futures.

We’re a 46‑year‑old charity with a strong local reputation, healthy reserves and ambitious plans to open a new Youth Hub. With the introduction of our Beacon CRM system, we’re ready to grow and diversify our income and we’re looking for a proactive fundraiser to help make that happen.

The role

This new role is ideal for a creative, relationship‑led fundraiser who enjoys variety. You’ll lead on community fundraising and individual giving, strengthening supporter relationships, growing income, and delivering engaging campaigns and events.

You’ll work closely with our fundraising‑experienced CEO, Finance & Communications Manager and volunteers, in a supportive environment where initiative is encouraged and micromanagement isn’t our style.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver our fundraising strategy across individual giving, community and corporate income.
• Build and maintain long‑term relationships with supporters and local partners.
• Use and develop our Beacon CRM to manage data and segment audiences.
• Plan and deliver creative multi‑channel fundraising campaigns.
• Support community fundraising initiatives and events.
• Produce inspiring fundraising materials with the wider team.

There’s already strong local support, from the MP, local football club and community partners, and plenty of new opportunities to build on.

About you

You are already working in fundraising and could be ready to step up into a broader, more autonomous role. You will bring :

• Experience or understanding of individual giving, community, or corporate fundraising.
• A confident, relationship‑led approach and strong communication skills.
• A genuine empathy for young people and the ability to connect with a wide range of people.
• Confidence using CRMs (ideally Beacon) and an understanding of their value in supporter management.
• A proactive, organised approach and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A collaborative, can‑do attitude and passion for creating opportunities for all young people so they feel safe, seen and supported.

This role requires a variety of skills and experience. We recognise it’s unlikely you’ll have experience in all these areas, but if you think this sounds like you, please apply!

We offer

• Flexible, hybrid working.
• Pension scheme (5% employee / 3% employer).
• 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays (pro rata) + an extra day’s leave on your birthday!
• Mobile phone, mentoring and access to 24 / 7 Employee Assistance Programme.
• A friendly, values‑led team where your ideas and initiative will make a real difference.

Join us at an exciting time of growth and help shape the future of fundraising at Youth Concern.
