Fundraising Events – Team Leader

Are you a fun, outgoing, but organised person who just loves to throw a good party! This role is ideal for a recent retiree, someone downscaling their working in paid employment or an event coordinator with time to spare who wants to give back.

The Fundraising Events – Team Leader works with our Fundraising & Communications Lead to ensure that our events well organised, safe, financially viable and aligned with WFKA’s mission and brand.

Scope of Responsibility

• Plan and lead fundraising events that align with the FWG Scope of Reference and agreed annual priorities.
• Recruit, onboard and coordinate a small event sub-committee to support planning and delivery of each event.
• Develop clear event plans including timelines, volunteer roles, simple budgets and income targets in collaboration with WFKA staff.
• Coordinate venues, suppliers, equipment and event logistics in collaboration with WFKA staff.
• Ensure risk assessments, Work Health and Safety requirements and organisational policies are followed.
• Work collaboratively with WFKA staff regarding promotion and messaging.
• Oversee event-day delivery to ensure a event is well organised, safe, engaging experience for participants and volunteers.
• Monitor income performance against targets and identify opportunities to improve future events.
• Provide post-event evaluations and monthly activity updates to the Fundraising Working Group (FWG).

This role works with and will be supported by the Fundraising & Communications Lead. It is expected we will have staff and other volunteers able to do some of the tasks but supervised and checked by this person who acts as a "project manager".
