About us

Amigos Worldwide (www.amigos.org.uk) is a Barnstaple-based international development charity with 25 years’ experience of transforming lives in Uganda. Amigos works to bring sustainability, dignity, justice and hope to people living in extreme poverty.Through a holistic approach encompassing education, training and clean water Amigos equips Ugandans to bring about lasting change in their lives. We believe in helping people to help themselves and are led by the communities we seek to empower

We're a small, passionate team with a committed supporter base across Devon and beyond, and we're now looking to grow.

About the role

This is a brand-new role for Amigos, with a strong focus on community fundraising through individuals. You'll build and deepen relationships with our existing supporters, and design a re‑engagement strategy to reconnect with those who've lapsed, keeping people connected to our work in Uganda through personal updates, field stories and social media. You'll also plan and deliver a calendar of events: some to invite supporters to, and others where people take on a sponsored challenge, such as a walk, run or trek, to fundraise for Amigos. There's scope to grow a signature event over time, and real autonomy to shape all of this alongside our CEO.

About you

You're a natural people person with experience in fundraising, sales, business development or community organising, self‑motivated, creative, and comfortable building relationships in all kinds of settings, from a church hall to a boardroom. Sympathy with the Christian faith is essential, as is a full UK driving licence.
