Emergency Fundraising Coordinator (Stoke)(Stafford)

Emergency Fundraising Coordinators are motivated individuals who recruit for and organise fundraising events in their local community to respond to a disaster appeal. You will be responsible for inspiring a team of individuals to organise fundraising events when an emergency occurs so that Oxfam can respond to these humanitarian disasters as soon as possible. This type of fundraising can range from street collections to more elaborate fundraising events; it is entirely down to what motivates you. In this position you can offer as much or as little time as you want, and whatever you choose to do Oxfam will offer support and guidance throughout the entire process.

Frequency: On average just a day or a few hours a month or at times of Emergency. Not a weekly commitment.

• This is your chance to help change the world and make a real difference to people affected by disasters
