Join The Wooden Spoon Family
We have two exciting opportunities available to join the Wooden Spoon Family.
Individual Giving Officer
Hybrid – Full Time – Up to £32K depending on experience
From record breaking on Everest, to regular giving, to running marathons to canoeing across Scotland, the Wooden Spoon Family want you to help them climb even higher…
As a Wooden Spoon’s Individual Giving Officer, you will play a key role in creating and growing Wooden Spoon’s individual giving programme. It is an exciting new and varied role that will lead on the recruitment and stewardship of our individual giving programmes including, but not limited to regular donations, membership products, individual event fundraising challenges and stewardship of regular donors and legacy prospects.
You’ll bring a mix of fun and creativity, and your skills and track record in individual giving in a charitable environment. You’ll bring your organisational rigour in managing multiple income areas, membership database management and data led campaigns alongside personal stewardship and rapport with individual members and fundraisers.
This is an exciting role in a vibrant rugby community, which you can make your own and know that your work is helping thousands of children live their best lives.
Head of Corporate Partnership
Hybrid* – Full Time – Up to £45K depending on experience
*as an outward facing role we want to give you the flexibility to be out there linking up with prospects, so we’re very flexible on the requirement to attend the office in Fleet. Regular catchups with the wider team are obviously important but can be facilitated via online meetings or in person bi-weekly in the office.
You could help 1million children live their best lives…
Wooden Spoon is a dynamic and impactful charity dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people through the power of the rugby community.
Our supporters across UK and Ireland, generously raise over a £3million every year through events, donations, and challenges. In turn we provide grants to local charities who work to give the best life opportunities to children living with disabilities, those disadvantaged and those disengaged from society.
Use your conversation to be a corporate convertor…
As Wooden Spoon’s Head of Corporate Partnerships, we’re passing you Wooden Spoon’s 40-year legacy of supporting over a million children to live their best lives, for you to convert corporates onto our Wooden Spoon’s team. Over the next 5 years we’re looking to help the next million and we need you on our front row.
We have identified corporate funding as one of our largest growth areas. This is a new role which will take a lead in developing and driving forward our new business partnerships strategy. You’ll be able to shape the new strategy alongside building upon the successful relationships with the corporate partners already supporting us.
If you’re an ambitious, experienced corporate fundraiser with a track record of winning, retaining, and developing high value partnerships within the charity, sports or arts sector, this is fresh opportunity to really mark your mark. If you’re ready to make a difference for the UK’s children, then we’d love to have you in our squad.
