Stewardship and Fundraising Manager

Stewardship and Fundraising Manager

(Full time, permanent) c. £34k

This role offers a unique opportunity to help the largest Diocese in the Church in Wales transform the way we approach giving and fundraising.

Are you someone who loves the church, loves working with people and is motivated by finding and developing potential for growth? Have you got the right mix of expertise and experience together with energy and the ability to help us explore new ways of doing things?

The financial lifeblood of the Diocese of Llandaff and its Ministry Areas (MAs) is the generosity of our congregations and their connections with communities. Joining the Diocese at a pivotal moment in the development of future income streams, you’ll help to shape our approach to stewardship and fundraising, and empower congregations to grow giving and boost fundraising, with potential to grow the role and the team.

Sited within the Diocesan MA support team you will provide advice, support, campaign ideas, materials and training to MAs, enabling them to make applications and undertake fundraising initiatives themselves. You’ll also work to support the Diocese in identifying and preparing larger fundraising applications, and work with the Diocesan Secretary and COO to develop the Diocese’s fundraising approach including helping to design a legacy programme, stewardship campaign and other fundraising and income generating initiatives.

We’re looking for a confident, competent fundraiser with experience of a faith setting and a good understanding of a Welsh Anglican context and the theological basis for stewardship giving. You’ll be as comfortable working at board level as you are at the grass roots of a campaign, and you’ll be able to speak compellingly to groups of people as well as sensitively to individuals. You’ll be someone enthused by the church’s mission who’s excited by the opportunity to develop our fundraising operations to a new level.
