Fundraising and Communications Officer
Job description
Harris Hill is proud to be working on behalf of Positively UK, a charity that champions the voices and wellbeing of people living with HIV, to recruit a Fundraising & Communications Officer to join their growing team.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a confident, creative communicator who’s eager to develop their fundraising experience in a supportive, impact-driven organisation. Recent graduates or early-career fundraisers are strongly encouraged to apply.
About the role
Location: Anywhere in the UK, with travel to London office around once a month (or more if preferred)
Salary: £26,000, rising to £27,500–£28,000 per annum
Contract: 12-month contract (with possibility of extension)
Deadline: Monday, 11th August 2025
Interviews: Virtual interviews on Wednesday, 13th August 2025
This is a varied and exciting new role, ideal for someone who enjoys juggling creative communications, events, and donor engagement. The role is full-time and will be split across different duties:
3 days per week dedicated to individual giving and donor communications
1 day per week supporting with administration and coordination
1 additional day per week (starting in January) supporting the delivery of Positively UK's annual conference in June
You’ll also get the chance to represent the charity at key events such as the Red Run, World AIDS Day, and national HIV conferences—and even participate in international travel where appropriate.
You’ll be working closely with the Fundraising and Communications Lead, learning and leading across digital fundraising, donor stewardship, social media, campaign delivery, and supporter engagement.
Who they’re looking for
This role would suit someone who is:
A great communicator, both written and verbal
Well-organised with good attention to detail
Confident using social media and digital tools to engage audiences
Interested in social impact, health equity, or human rights
Comfortable working flexibly and collaboratively across a small team
Previous fundraising experience is welcome but not essential—we’re open to candidates with transferable skills and a genuine passion to learn and contribute.
You’ll benefit from:
30 days annual leave (plus bank holidays and Christmas closure)
A friendly, inclusive and values-led working culture
The chance to shape a brand-new individual giving programme
Opportunities for international engagement and professional development
Flexibility to be based anywhere in the UK, with monthly travel to London and the option to be in more frequently if desired
