About this role
Contract: Permanent, 35 hours per week, hybrid Salary: £28,880 - £33,581 per annum Location: Burford or London Closing date: Sunday 1st November 2026 Interview date: 9th & 10th November 2026 Do you have a head for fundraising and a heart for animals? This is your chance to become the face of Blue Cross in the south region! We are recruiting for a Regional Fundraising Officer (South) to join our community and events team. This is a hybrid based at either our Burford or London office. This is a varied and vibrant position where no two days are quite the same.
You will work closely with the Community & Events Manager to develop and bring to life regional community fundraising plans that truly resonate with local people across the South of England and Wales. A major part of your focus will be managing and stimulating growth in the areas surrounding our rehoming centres, retail shops and vet hospitals. You will be championing our classic fundraising campaigns, such as Paws for Tea, while also spotting new opportunities to increase income and supporting our incredible "Do it Yourself" fundraisers to help them reach their full potential.
Beyond the numbers, this role is about relationships. You will be building and nurturing volunteer networks, recruiting new faces, and developing fundraising groups that can respond quickly to new opportunities. You will also identify and apply for ‘Charity of the Year’ partnerships with local businesses and managing those corporate relationships. Whether you are supporting local events, encouraging fundraisers to get involved through internal communications, or ensuring our donors feel valued through careful stewardship, you will be key to our growth.
You will also be completing administration tasks to keep things running smoothly, such as financial coding, raising purchase orders, and liaising with our data team to ensure every penny is accounted for. This is a hybrid role with 2 days a week in the office. There will also be regular visits to our rehoming centres, retail shops and vet hospitals in the South region.
