where should I recruit?

In addition to the other comments, I'd ask what you really need - I'm sure £90k sounds like a lot of money, but it's not a huge fundraising target.

[Though I'd better add that, if the Charity is not properly organised, £9k can be a MASSIVE target!!!]

You'll be looking at a salary in the order of 10 - 20% of the target, so it's a part-time role. You might consider a freelance for the role - £10k wouldn't be much of a salary, but it would be quite a nice contract for companies like ours.

You might be best advised to buy yourself a couple of hours of somebody's time to talk through the issues with you - might even get it free if you've got a good CVS to hand.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hi Per.
Check out various websites advertising fundraising jobs in the area. Third Sector, charityjob.co.uk and so on.
Then figure out what you are going to offer.
You also need to figure out if you need 1 or 2 people.

Also bear in mind that the charity sector seems to be expanding while resources are more in demand - so a target of £90k might not be achievable (or might be dead easy) for one person working a 48 week year part time.

We are considering employing a part time professional fundraiser. Basically we are looking for someone who can help to raise core funding of about £90K per annum. The balance of about £30K we are currently raising from our fundraising efforts.

We are very unsure about how to go about advertising the job and at what sort of salary level.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Have you thought about trying

Sounds like a good group. Any others useful for us trust fundraisers?

If it's a trust fundraiser you're after there's the Institute of Fundraising Trust Group that's a Yahoo Group. You need to register, but it's free (that magic word).
