Individual Giving Senior Fundraising Officer
Role: Permanent, 37.5 hours per week
Location: working across Bognor and Chichester offices
Salary: up to £29,370 FTE
Ready to power real change for women across Sussex?
My Sisters’ House is expanding its fundraising team — and we’re looking for a dynamic, creative and relationship‑driven fundraiser who can help take our income generation to the next level. If you love building connections, crafting compelling stories and spotting opportunities others miss, this role will give you the space to thrive.
What you’ll do
You’ll lead the growth of our individual giving and high‑value supporter base, nurturing relationships with donors, partners and philanthropists who want to make a tangible difference. You’ll shape engaging fundraising appeals, deliver standout donor experiences and bring fresh ideas that cut through a challenging fundraising landscape.
You’ll also help develop emerging income streams — from local businesses to female‑led enterprises — and work closely with colleagues to strengthen donor journeys and build a confident, ambitious fundraising culture.
What you’ll bring
You’re a natural communicator with a flair for storytelling and a sharp eye for opportunity. You’re organised, proactive and energised by a busy, varied workload. You enjoy thinking creatively, writing persuasively and turning insight into action. Above all, you’re motivated by the impact your work can have on women facing trauma, abuse and disadvantage.
Why join us?
You’ll be part of a small, passionate and supportive team with big ambitions. You’ll have room to innovate, freedom to shape your approach and the chance to grow your skills across individual giving, corporate partnerships and high‑value fundraising. With strong foundations already in place — and a growing network of committed supporters — you’ll be joining at a genuinely exciting moment.
Flexible working is essential, with occasional evenings and weekends. The role requires a DBS check.
