The vision of our charity is to provide support services for people over the age of 25 years who have fallen through the system. We do this by teaching life skills, on-going professional counseling and mentoring, social inclusion projects, academic education and eventually when foundations are laid into paid employment and apprenticeships. The position of Fundraiser is critical and a very important role in our organisation. The ideal candidate will be self motivated, well presented honest, punctual and will always have an upbeat positive attitude when out fundraising either on street campaigns or doing bag packing or awareness days in key established retail partners across Northern Ireland. All out of pocket expenses will be paid and this includes lunch expenses and if working after 6pm the chairty will afford to our team an evening meal. This is a good opportunity to see Northern Ireland and if you are a person who likes working with people and want to spread the word about what we are doing locally and overseas this we believe is the role for you.
