About The Role

As Philanthropy Officer at Versus Arthritis, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our ambitious goals for growth and impact. Sitting within the Philanthropy and Partnerships team, your work will be central to securing the support of individuals who are passionate about our cause. You will engage with mid-level donors, develop tailored communications, become proficient in using our customer relationship management (CRM) system ThankQ, as well as craft experiences that foster long-lasting partnerships.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a high-performing and supportive Philanthropy and Partnerships team, working collaboratively across the charity to showcase the difference donors make to people with arthritis.

About You

If your knowledge, skills, and experience include the following, then we’d love to hear from you:

• Experience with handling and upkeeping a database.
• Able to plan and deliver engaging stewardship programmes.
• Collaborative and organized, with a strong understanding of philanthropy.

• Committed to the values of Versus Arthritis and passionate about making a difference.
• As a hybrid worker, the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer, we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example, for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.
