it's a myth that roles within a charitable
organisation are poorly paid; generally,
salaries are very competitive, especially
for senior positions in larger companies.
Another valid reason to go into this
sector is charities have a reputation for
being good employers, and consequently
have high staff-retention rates. Many
companies also offer flexible working
options and good opportunities for
career development and further training.
The skills you'll need will very much
depend on which area you go into but,
in general, you need to be hardworking,
dedicated and proactive, with excellent
communication and organisation skills.
If you're savvy with social media, that's
a huge plus - the charity industry greatly
benefits from social media platforms

PR is vital - the
better-known
a charity is, the
more likely it is
to get donations

charity could easily
be your dream job

Case study
'I'm proud to be part of this organisation'
Laura Vallance is head of public affairs at Dogs Trust
'I've been at Dogs Trust
(dogstrust.org.uk) for five
years and I oversee all of our government
relations work and politician engagement
across the UK and in the EU; knocking on
doors keeps me busy.
'I get to speak to a huge range of people
about Dogs Trust and dog welfare issues.
One day it can be a serious meeting with
a Minister talking about changing
legislation and the next it can be speaking
to a TV Interviewer about the importance
of picking up dog poo - so it's a very
diverse job, and certainly not all glamour!
'I'd always wanted to work at Dogs Trust
because I'd worked in the charity sector
previously and had always admired
Dogs Trust's ethos. The organisation also
has a huge drive to put dog welfare at the

very heart of what it does, which I'm
proud to be a part of, and it has a nondestruction policy , which means we
never put a dog down - it's the heart
of everything we do.
'This job allows me to combine my
desire to make a difference in the world
with my love of dogs, particularly my own,
Florrie, who is a very small crossbreed
with a big personality. She can regularly
be found rummaging through bins or
lapping up attention at our Head Office.
'I work in the Head Office, but the heart
and soul of our charity are our rehoming
centres. I've got a huge amount of
admiration for everyone who works in
them. They go to extraordinary efforts
for the dogs in their care - they are the
ones with the hardest jobs.'

such as Twitter and Facebook, as they
enable fast, effective targeting of potential
donors, volunteers and contributors for
fundraising and campaigns.

Variety of roles
There are many charities doing valuable
work raising funds and awareness in
specific areas, such as the RSPCA. Other
charities, such as Children in Need,
concentrate solely on raising funds for
other charities to spend.
Many charities derive income from
sponsorship, trusts, benefactors and
fundraising. Bid writing, where you put
together the proposals asking for
funding, is an important role.
You can specialise in many fields,
including: administrative; advisory;
campaigning and lobbying; financial
management; fundraising; policies;
public relations and branding.
Here are a few in more detail...

Fundraising
Behind the frontline care and services
provided by any charity lies the vital
fundraising department.
