Are you our next challenges and events officer?

Magpas Air Ambulance are looking for a driven and organised challenges and events officer to join our corporate, community and events team. This is a key income-generating role, responsible for the planning, promotion, and delivery of a portfolio of challenge and fundraising events – including thirdparty, virtual and flagship events.

The postholder will work closely with colleagues and external partners to deliver exceptional supporter experiences that inspire participation, encourage fundraising, and maximise income for the charity.

You’ll need solid project management skills, strong supporter stewardship instincts, and a good understanding of how digital channels can be used to recruit, engage, and motivate fundraisers.

While you’ll be supported by our digital marketing lead, you’ll be responsible for developing and delivering a comprehensive marketing and recruitment plan – combining digital campaigns with in-person promotion and outreach at events and through partner networks.

This role would suit someone with experience in charity challenge events who is ready to take the next step in their career, or an ambitious early-career candidate looking to build a career in charity
fundraising. It offers the opportunity to bring creativity, energy and fresh ideas to a role with real autonomy, ownership and impact.

If you have the creativity, energy and drive to deliver exceptional
supporter experiences while generating vital income for a much-loved air ambulance charity, we’d love to hear from you.
