Fundraising and Supporter Engagement Officer

FUNDRAISING AND SUPPORTER ENGAGEMENT OFFICER

FEBRUARY 2026

WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity. We are on a mission to end

child bed poverty, helping children get a good night’s sleep and the

chance to thrive at school.

In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the

hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses

and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been

given an incredible media platform from which we have raised

awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This

support and awareness has enabled us to deliver over 16,000 bed

bundles to children to date.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

As we grow, we are looking to recruit a Fundraising and Supporter

Engagement Officer to join the Fundraising team, for an initial

fixed-term period of 12-months.

As our ideal candidate, you will need to be within commuting distance of

our Leeds warehouse, allowing you to travel regularly to meet with the

team. This is a hybrid role based between the Leeds warehouse and

home, with at least two days per week at the warehouse. Some travel to

other locations may be required occasionally for events.

You will be an enthusiastic team player with strong communication and

interpersonal skills. You will be organised and able to manage multiple

tasks and priorities, and work to deadlines.

Alongside your related skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that

you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are

self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our

team.

Ideally, you’ll have experience of fundraising, customer-facing support,

and/or events administration in the charity sector. However, charity

experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track

record for continual learning and development across your working life

to date.
