Volunteer Board Fundraiser

Volunteer Board Fundraiser

Are you looking for a role within an organisation where the work you do makes a real difference to children’s lives? If so, the Volunteer Board Fundraiser could be exactly what you’re looking for.

Join the Engagement and Fundraising directorate to make the difference.

At the NSPCC, we believe every childhood is worth fighting for. With over 100 years of experience, and the collective strength of our staff, volunteers, supporters and partners, we’re working to end child abuse and neglect for good.

Over 90 percent of the NSPCC’s income comes from voluntary donations, so we reply on the incredible generosity and commitment of all our supporters, large and small.

You will be part of a team that focuses on engaging supporters and ensuring they continue to give. You will do this by leading fundraising initiatives or simply sharing our mission with those around you; every conversation and connection can spark change. We encourage everyone across the organisation to get involved, feel confident championing our cause, and help us grow the support we need to protect children and give them the futures they deserve.

The varied role sits within the Volunteer Board Fundraising team which leads income generation through regional and national volunteer boards, volunteer‑led fundraising initiatives and delivery of special events through our high‑value event committees. These activities play a vital role in maximising sustainable income, engaging senior volunteers and supporting long‑term supporter relationships.

Our volunteer boards are made up of influential, high‑profile individuals who volunteer their time and expertise. The boards focus on using their networks and influence to secure income‑generating opportunities via corporate partnerships, major gifts from individuals, collaboration with brands and fundraising events, all of which generate significant funds for the NSPCC.

This role plays a key part in generating income to support the NSPCC’s mission. You’ll contribute by:

• Raising significant funds through delivery of volunteer‑led fundraising initiatives
• Developing and stewarding long‑term supporter relationships
• Leveraging the board members’ connections to benefit the wider organisation

• Cultivate and manage relationships with senior‑level board members across diverse sectors including media, property, luxury brands and finance to enhance their long‑term engagement and support
• Work alongside the Fundraising Managers to identify and secure high‑value fundraising opportunities through board members’ boards and their networks, driving significant income generation
• Provide operational support and management of volunteer‑led fundraising initiatives and projects including high‑value special events
• Work collaboratively across different teams and departments to maximise the impact and value delivered through board engagement

• Exceptional relationship building and stakeholder management skills
• Strong ability to prioritise tasks effectively in a dynamic environment
• Impeccable attention to detail
• Self‑motivated with a proactive approach to work
• Highly organised, with the capability to manage individual projects
• Experience in identifying and developing new fundraising opportunities that are commercially viable and deliver mutual value

• Generous annual leave – 29 days per annum plus bank holidays for full‑time employees (pro‑rata for part‑time). 32 days per annum after five years’ continuous service
• Employee discounts – our discounts portal gives you online access to over 3,000 discounts and offers
• The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) – an independent, free, personal support service. It can provide information, support and advice to support your health and well‑being
• Pension – flexible, tax‑efficient pension schemes to help you build up a good pension
• Life assurance scheme – all employees will be given life assurance of one‑times their salary, unless they join the NSPCC Group Personal Pension Scheme, where members are given life assurance of five‑times their salary
