Marketing Executive - Donor Recruitment (2752)

Do you want to create a better world for animals? At the RSPCA, we believe all animals deserve kindness and respect. We work for the benefit of every animal – as well as pets, that includes farmed animals, wildlife, and animals used in science. Choose a career with us and make a difference for every kind.

We are looking for a Marketing Executive to join our Donor Recruitment team. You will be working as part of a fast-paced fundraising team responsible for bringing new donors on board to support the vital animal welfare work of the RSPCA through delivering and optimising the performance of our paid digital marketing channels.

We recognise that the world of work has changed and we are embracing that change. We therefore provide a flexible framework to meet our present and future needs.

Working hours: 35 hours per week- Monday - Friday.
Hybrid role: The role will be hybrid, working from home and our office hubs. Our South East Regional Hub (Horsham, West Sussex) and our London Hub (Blackfriars). An average month would require travel to the office once a month, but this could be up to 4 times a month where needed. You may use the office space more if you prefer.
Core hours are between 10.00am to 3.00pm, Monday to Friday, allowing for a start between 8.00am - 10.00am and finish between 3.00pm - 6.00pm. You may vary the number of hours worked on each working day as long as the 35 hour working week is fulfilled over 5 working days.

We think this role's going to be popular and are expecting to attract high interest so we strongly encourage early applications to avoid missing out; the closing date is the 18th of February.

We want to ensure we do all we can to give you a positive candidate experience through our recruitment. Whilst we do try to give feedback where we can, sometimes due to receiving high levels of applications, this may not always be possible

We are building the future of a diverse Society, and our priority is to support animal welfare by finding people from all backgrounds who are committed  to our mission.  For this reason we actively encourage a wide diversity of applications - in particular from members of minority ethnic groups, and people with disabilities - as these candidates are currently under-represented at the RSPCA. Your transferable skills & lived experiences could make you a valuable addition to our RSPCA Family! 

We're here to support you and encourage you to let us know if you need any adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. Please feel free to contact us at resourcingteam@rspca.org.uk or 0300 123 0685 so we can ensure the process works for you.
