An outstanding opportunity has become available within World Vision UK’s Fundraising Group. As Head of Supporter Growth, your primary aim will be to attract new supporters from among our target audience who wish to partner with us and help us make a difference for the children we support, children who are living in the world’s hardest places. Children who, everyday, are subjected to poverty, famine, war and disaster. Children who desperately need the help of the World Vision ‘family’.
Our Christian identity underpins everything we do, so as an active and committed Christian with a heart for the poor and a commitment to our mission, this role will give you the opportunity to integrate your faith and be sensitive to its various expressions across cultures and denominations.
