About Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC)
Established in 1991, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is responsible for providing pre-hospital critical care across the six Midlands counties of: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire. The charity also delivers secondary cover to surrounding areas, such as Warwickshire and mid Wales. Our services are provided by operating three air ambulance helicopters and two critical care cars, which serves the growing Midlands population pf six million plus people.
About the role
Our Community Fundraising and Research Executive will play a key role in supporting MAAC’s fundraising activities and income-generation goals across the organisation. The role’s primary focus is assisting the Community Fundraising Team in developing meaningful relationships with new and existing supporters across each of the six counties we serve, while also supporting the Head of Fundraising and Engagement and the wider Fundraising Team with key projects.
As a longstanding charity celebrating 35 years of service, MAAC benefits from a well-established network of community supporters. A core part of your role will be to help diversify and grow our income by researching and prospecting new regional partners, including community groups, parish and town councils, local clubs, civic bodies, and grassroots organisations, to expand our base of donors and community contributors. This will include identifying local funding opportunities, understanding community priorities, and helping the team engage with new audiences across the region.
You will also support the development and submission of high-quality applications to community grant schemes, parish council budgets, and other local funding streams. Alongside this, you will work with our supporters and volunteers on a daily basis to ensure they receive a high standard of stewardship and feel valued in their relationship with MAAC.
Additional responsibilities include providing administrative support to the Head of Fundraising and Engagement and our regional community team, and contributing to the development of new and existing fundraising campaigns to maximise their reach and impact.
Working closely with colleagues across the Fundraising team, the ideal candidate will be an excellent communicator, highly organised, and passionate about building strong relationships with supporters. While experience in the charity sector is desirable, applicants with strong administrative or customer-service backgrounds will also be welcomed.
As a busy team with varied responsibilities, priorities can shift over time, so a flexible and adaptable working attitude is essential.
