VOICES is an independent Domestic Abuse charity based in Bath. We provide specialist, long-term, survivor-led and trauma-informed recovery support. As a non-commissioned service, we are reliant on fundraising and grants - we are therefore very excited to be recruiting for our first internal fundraiser. 

VOICES was founded in 2014 by four survivors, one of whom went on to become our first CEO. Our founder-CEO left early this year, with a new CEO beginning in role in April. With a new strategy in place, now is a hugely exciting time to be joining us. 

This new role will be based from our Bath office, but with the option for hybrid working. The right candidate is important to us and therefore the job hours are between 3 and 5 days per week to suit the individual (hours to be agreed on appointment). 

This new role will be instrumental in supporting our growth and development. We are looking for an individual who has relevant sector experience, a good knowledge and understanding of fundraising, and a commitment to working in a trauma-informed way. As a survivor-led organisation, we are looking for someone who shares our ethos and will be proactive in consulting with our Lived Experience Group(s).

You will work closely with the CEO to help secure the long-term future of VOICES, through expanding and diversifying our income generation. 

With a good understanding and knowledge of grants and trusts fundraising, you will also help direct our future – with consideration to community fundraising, charity shop and/or social enterprise. Whilst we’ve many ideas about what it might look like, no decisions have yet been made and we’re keen to work collaboratively with you and hear your vision. 

At VOICES, we have big ambitions which would cement our role as sector leader in recovery services and ensuring survivors’ voices remain at the heart of policy and practice. 

This role will also involve working to help develop VOICES’ name, increasing community awareness of our charity. You will therefore bring with you, knowledge of social media, marketing and communications and/or a willingness to learn.

Please be aware that due to the nature of the services delivered by VOICES in  our safe space centre, this role is restricted to those assigned the gender female at birth in accordance with the provisions of the occupational requirement (Equality Act 2010, pursuant to Schedule 9, Part 1).
