Job Description

Fundraising Officer - Voice 21

Salary: £29,409 - £31,656 plus home working allowance
Location:
Remote-first, with occasional travel and for team meetings in London
Contract:
Permanent, Full Time

Charity People is delighted to be partnering with Voice 21 to recruit a Fundraising Officer to help shape the future of fundraising within an exciting and growing team.

Voice 21 is on a mission to ensure every child can access a high-quality oracy education, helping young people develop the confidence and communication skills they need to thrive in school and beyond.

This is a particularly exciting time to join. Having experienced significant growth in recent years, Voice 21 is now investing in fundraising to support its long-term ambitions, creating a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to help build something for the future.

About the Role

This is a broad and varied fundraising role offering exposure across trusts and foundations, philanthropy and corporate partnerships.

Initially, you'll take ownership of supporting trusts and foundations activity, managing applications, reporting, prospect research and funder relationships. Alongside this, you'll contribute to emerging philanthropy and corporate partnership programmes, gaining valuable experience across multiple income streams.

No two days will look the same. You might be researching potential funders, drafting applications, supporting cultivation events, stewarding donors or helping develop new partnership opportunities. It's a role that offers genuine variety, autonomy and the chance to make a visible contribution.

About You

We're looking for someone who is proactive, ambitious and excited by the opportunity to grow alongside a developing fundraising function.

You'll likely bring:

  • Strong written communication skills and excellent attention to detail
  • Experience managing projects, relationships or fundraising activities
  • An organised and proactive approach
  • Confidence working independently and taking ownership of your work
  • Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to get stuck in
  • A desire to develop your knowledge of trusts and foundations, philanthropy and corporate partnerships

Most importantly, you'll enjoy spotting opportunities, building relationships and helping shape what comes next.

Why Join Voice 21?

This role offers a rare opportunity to join a fundraising function at a formative stage of its development. With new investment, ambitious growth plans and an experienced Corporate Partnerships Lead joining the organisation, you'll be part of a team with significant momentum and potential.

The culture is entrepreneurial, ambitious and fast-moving. It will suit someone who enjoys working in a growing organisation, embraces change and wants the opportunity to shape their own role. As fundraising continues to evolve, there will be plenty of scope to broaden your experience, take on greater responsibility and grow your career.

If you're looking for a role with real ownership, learning opportunities and the chance to make a lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you
