WR Fundraising Recruitment is proud to be working with a brilliant regional charity that has supported young homeless people or those at risk of homelessness for over 50 years.

The charity provides a range of support programmes across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands area and we are looking for a relationship builder to join a dynamic fundraising team as a Corporate Partnerships Officer.

The charity has an amazing portfolio of support from both local and national businesses, and we need a new fundraising executive to manage those relationships while looking for new supporters across the area.
