You’ll manage a broad portfolio including Individual Donations, Regular Giving, Mid Level Gifts and Appeals, ensuring strong stewardship and supporter engagement to maximise retention and long term value.

You’ll join a supportive, collaborative Fundraising Team that lives our “One Team, One Goal” ethos. Every contribution is valued, and you’ll be encouraged to grow and thrive.

At DENS, we support local people facing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion. In this role, you’ll help generate the income that makes this work possible and see the impact of your efforts in our community.
