We’re looking for a Group Fundraiser / Fundraising Consultant to join us at The Social Change Nest. £300/day | Approx. 10 days per month | Contractor role | Start ASAP
This is a hands-on fundraising role working closely with some of the grassroots groups hosted by The Social Change Nest to help them increase their income.
You’ll usually work with just 1–2 groups at a time, giving you the opportunity to provide dedicated, high-quality support while working across a diverse range of movements and causes.
Depending on the needs of each group, your work could include:
- Bid writing and grant applications — identifying opportunities and taking high-quality funding applications from research through to submission.
- Small donor and crowdfunding engagement — analysing previous campaigns, identifying opportunities and re-engaging supporters.
- Major donor cultivation — prospect research, tailored outreach and opening new major donor pipelines.
- Pipeline development — proactively identifying new funding opportunities and maintaining strong systems to track them.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll be a great fit if you’re a grounded, proactive collaborator who can manage your own time, adapt quickly to different groups and ways of working, build trust with stakeholders, and bring a genuine commitment to social change and equity.
