The Vicar and PCC of St Giles, Pontefract is seeking a freelance fundraiser to identify and apply for strategic Net Zero Carbon fundraising opportunities across a cluster of parishes in the Pontefract area.
This is an exciting and unique opportunity for an experienced freelance fundraiser with a passion for sustainability to pioneer new and imaginative ways to fund the Net Zero Carbon work for our historical buildings in a first of its kind role within the Church of England.
The Net Zero Carbon Freelance Fundraiser will play a key role in supporting carbon reduction projects in churches in the Pontefract area, raising funds for a group of parishes in the area over a fixed period. As the role is regionally based, there will be a requirement to travel to the nominated churches across Pontefract.
The successful candidate will scope and apply for funds from statutory bodies, charitable trusts and other sources for Net Zero projects and work closely with the Vicar of Pontefract and the Diocese’ Net Zero Carbon Programme Manager throughout their time in post. They will be self-motivated, with the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team.
This is a self-employed position offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 12 months, with a total fee payable of £25,000, paid equally over 12 months. The working pattern will be agreed in line with the group’s requirements, but it is expected that a minimum of 100 hours per month (2-3 days/week) would be dedicated to this project.
The appointed candidate will be responsible for managing all associated costs, including income tax and National Insurance contributions, as no additional allowances or reimbursements will be provided.
Closing Date: Monday 16th February, 11.59 p.m.
Interview Date: Thursday 26th February
