Sands is the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity and exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth.
Sands is looking to recruit a dedicated and enthusiastic person to join our Finance & Resources team to help us deliver an exceptional service to our supporters. This is a key role which will help us to promote Sands’ vision; a world where fewer babies die and when a baby dies anyone affected by the death receives the best care and support for as long as they need.
You will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the charity’s database (ThankQ), maintaining the database to the highest standards of accuracy. In addition, you will ensure the efficient and effective processing of our regular income from supporters and provide excellent donor care. By working very closely with both the Fundraising and Finance teams, you will enable these teams to effectively communicate fundraising messages to Sands’ audiences.
With demonstrable experience of working with, managing or developing fundraising databases (ideally ThankQ) you will have an excellent knowledge of direct marketing techniques and data segmentation. A good understanding of SQL server databases is desirable. The ability to write clearly and accurately is essential, and you will be able to research, analyse and interpret information as well as be able to work within established financial procedures.
You will be highly motivated, with an organised approach and be able to effectively manage your workload and meet tight deadlines. A high standard of written and verbal skills are essential, as you will be a key contact point for Sands staff, volunteers and a range of external stakeholders and customers.
This is a rewarding role which offers a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to the work of Sands.
