TPA STAFF APPOINTMENTS - Self Employed Fundraisers

[Guest guest]

Dear Member,

Now that Thyroid Patient Advocacy is a Registered Charity, we are looking for Self Employed Fundraisers. The Trustees now want to significantly increase income to enable them to undertake more research, campaigning and support work during the coming years. The TPA Trustees are therefore looking for a number of experienced fundraisers to work on a freelance basis from home.

Because of the wide geographical spread of members, most of the charity's work is done on line or by telephone. Whilst the charity has only recently registered with the Charity Commission, TPA is well established and has been operating for a number of years.

This challenging role requires a confident self starter with good people skills. The successful applicants will be responsible for researching grant making trusts and other sources of income and writing bids on behalf of TPA. We anticipate that grant applications of around £20,000 are likely to be the most successful, but you can apply for as much or as little funding as you wish.

Taking on staff is a new venture for TPA and to keep it simple we are offering work on a self employed basis only. You will be paid a commission of 10% for each successful bid. Payments will be made within 14 days of any grant being received.

TPA will do its best to support you and make this worth your while.

You will be responsible for paying your own tax and NI contributions as a registered self employed person.

How To Apply

Please send a copy of your CV with a covering letter outlining your fundraising experience, including the amount of grants you personally have been able to secure to date. Please also send the contact details of two referees who can confirm your fundraising ability. Referees will not be contacted until after an interview and if TPA are considering making an offer.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to either a face to face or telephone interview depending on their location.

Please send your application to sheila@... as soon as possible.

Best wishes

Sheila (Chair)
