  • Salary: £31,200.00 – £34,736
  • Deadline to apply: 9am, Thursday 2nd April 2026
As our Individual Giving Officer, you will join an energetic team and play a pivotal role in leading the marketing, delivery, development, and stewardship of NHYC’s Individual Giving programme.

Through your effective onboarding, retention, and engagement plans, you will ensure that our donors maximise their fundraising potential and have a great experience supporting NHYC. We have a very data-led individual giving program and as part of your role you will support with the data management that underpins not only individual giving, but our wider fundraising infrastructure.
Within this role you will get lots of autonomy, the opportunity to learn, develop and progress, and raise much-needed funds for our work supporting young people experiencing homelessness. Working from our bustling day centre, you’ll be at the heart of our operations, staying connected to the profound impact of our organisation first-hand.
This closeness to our frontline services ensures that you’ll witness the tangible difference your fundraising efforts make in the lives of young people every day, making New Horizon Youth Centre an energising place to fundraise.
