Main purpose of the post

This role is needed to support the work of the developing Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre
team by ensuring the smooth running of the charity’s office, administration support and
fundraising support.

It is a varied role that covers a range of support duties but there are two primary focuses of
the role, which are:

1.  To ensure effective office administration and support for CRCC and its services.
2.  Supporting members of the public to fundraise for CRCC and support the charity’s

fundraising volunteers to develop and deliver a programme of community fundraising
activities and events.

To give an idea of our priorities for this role, we envisage the post holder’s time over a
working week to be split as: 3 days office administration and support and 2 days fundraising
support.

It is essential that the post holder has excellent office administrator skills but, whilst
fundraising skills are desirable, we are able to offer training to develop the fundraising-
related skills needed for the role.
