However during these difficult financial times donations have fallen and funding from local authority sources has also reduced.
One area we are keen to exploit is the community fundraising. Community fundraising goes to our unrestricted funding and therefore we can spend it on many things.
We are therefore looking for freelance events/community fundraising managers.
You will be responsible for creating an event, ensuring attendees, marketing it and maximising income. Examples include golf days, fishathons etc. In fact anything that will bring in money and promote the charity.
You can be based from home, although it will be expected that you attend the event and the office in central Northampton at least once, in order to be fully inducted, meet the team and understand the branding.
How you get paid - basically we will give you 20% of all profit made. Make a profit of £10,000 and you make £2000.
You will be in charge of the P+L, so you control spending and thus profitability.
You choose the hours you work etc.
PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU LIVE IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE AREA.
THIS ROLE IS BEING ADVERTISED ON BEHALF OF A CHARITY. CITITEC ARE NOT HANDLING THIS VACANCY DIRECTLY - FOR MORE INFORMATION APPLY AND A FULL REQUIREMENT WILL BE SENT.
