Whilst primarily working in the Staffordshire and Cheshire region, you will also be required to work on Midlands wide projects where necessary.
Our Team

Working closely with our colleagues in both the radio & publishing divisions of Bauer, we fundraise all year round to enable us to award grants to help those most in need.
Cash for Kids has local fundraising teams in 22 locations across the UK, together with a small central team based in the North East. We’re a passionate, fun, close-knit team, committed to helping children & young people who need us now more than ever.
In this role you will be expected to work at Home, in the office and in the field. The office location is in Stoke on Trent.
Key Responsibilities
Building & maintaining relationships is central to everything that we do at Cash for Kids. Whether that is internally with our Bauer Media colleagues, with our Cash for Kids team across the country or externally with local businesses, community groups, individual fundraisers or the beneficiaries whom we support.

In this role you will be responsible for your own set of KPIs and delivery on financial targets.

This is a busy role that requires you to be creative, organised, passionate, enthusiastic, driven, committed and not afraid to speak up. But it’s a role where you’ll be rewarded with real first-hand experience of what a difference Cash for Kids makes to children & young people in the local community.
To really help us make a difference you’ll be
- Organised, accurate and thorough with excellent communication skills, both verbal & written.
