Christian Aid Ireland’s Fundraising and Supporter Engagement Team works on an all-island basis to build a movement of individuals, churches, coalitions and other organisations to work with us for the world we want to see, where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. The team currently consists of 14 team members. The Partnerships & Philanthropy team works closely with the other four sub-divisions – Supporter Care, Digital, Church & Community and Individual Giving.
This new role is a key part of the Partnerships and Philanthropy sub-division and will play a vital role in supporting the Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager in driving forward our strategy of both excellent stewardship and effective acquisition, in order that we can grow the impact we have on our projects around the world. The Partnerships & Philanthropy Officer will support the Manager with developing the mid and major donor programme, and in reporting to our denominational and trust partners. You will develop and lead on in memory and legacy marketing campaigns, and provide administrative support in legacy estate processing.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
