Director of Fundraising, Marketing & Communications

We are seeking a Director of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications to drive the diversification of our income streams, enhance our public profile, and develop robust marketing and communications strategies to support our mission of preventing medical accidents and supporting affected individuals.

This is a brand new role and an opportunity to shape and develop not just the role itself, but the team and the full suite of strategic objectives and activities to help support AvMA’s mission, vison and values.

You will play a pivotal role in helping AvMA to design plans to deliver additional income through a combination of fundraising, marketing and communications efforts that together widen our reach, empower more people and deliver our strategic aims.

Salary £75,240 – £79,302 point 56 on the salary scale rising to point 59. Annual increments are paid until the top of the scale is reached. A discretionary cost of living increase is usually applied each year in addition.
Hours of work  35 hours a week (full time).
Location This is a remote role. Although staff predominantly work from home, we place huge value on working as a team and supporting each other. There is an expectation that AvMA staff will get together in person at least three times a year at the office, currently in Croydon; the Staff Days are well structured, collegiate and help the organisation to maintain the emphasis on playing as a team.
Holiday 25 days a year (full time), plus bank holidays. An additional day’s leave is acquired for each year of service up to five days. In addition, the office closes over the Christmas break for 3 days, for which annual leave does not have to be taken.
Pension scheme We also offer a stakeholder pension where the charity will provide a 5% contribution based on qualifying earnings if the employee pays in at least 3%.
Training & Development We aim to create a learning environment that enables all our employees to be proficient in their job development and to feel that they make a valuable contribution to the Charity’s overall achievement. You will be able to request time to train or to undertake accredited programmes leading to a qualification, or, for unaccredited training, request assistance to help you develop skills related to your job.
