Do you have a strong passion for planning fundraising events? Do you know how to project manage fundraising events and how to increase income and supporter engagement?

Fundraising is the building block of the Red Cross, without it there'd be no Emergency First Aid, no Refugee Support, and no Disaster Relief. Our team share the same goal - to spread the power of kindness and help those in greatest need.

Our fundraising and marketing teams are always looking to identify and pursue opportunities, expanding our events brand, crafting continuous supporter experiences for engaging participants, and providing them with additional avenues to enhance their involvement with our cause.

What you'll do

  • Supporting participants' fundraising efforts and inspiring them to fundraise for the Red Cross.
  • Being involved in risk-assessment, pre-event planning, management of the event budget, marketing, backing event participants, on the day logistics and plans, as well as event follow-up and evaluation.
