Job Description

Fundraising and Supporter Development (F&SD) is an integrated department that provides a single fundraising and supporter engagement function for King’s College London, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation, and King’s Health Partners, working closely with the Maudsley Charity. Based at King’s College London, we work with colleagues across our partners to help them serve society through world-leading education, research, and healthcare.   

The Gift Processing Coordinator works within the Supporter Services team, with responsibility for the processing of all philanthropic donations to King’s College London and our charity partners efficiently and effectively. You will ensure all financial processing is completed to a high standard, coupled with the successful monthly reconciliation between the fundraising database and the charity bank account.

Specifically, you are a highly motivated, hardworking, and organised person, able to set and work to deadlines and service level agreements. Adept at juggling multiple priorities, you thrive in dynamic work environments that are experiencing change and enjoy providing first class support and building strong professional relationships.

You will be involved in stakeholder and supplier management, answering income processing queries and providing operational and financial advice to the wider department.

You will be joining F&SD at an exciting point in our development as we enter a period of transformational change to a new CRM. The right candidate should therefore be resilient and adaptable, feel comfortable with feeding into the development of new evolving business processes, and be curious enough to explore the benefits and possibilities that a new CRM can bring to the area of gift processing and the wider operational function.

This role would suit candidates with an interest in the charity sector, a passion for facilitating change, and a background/interest in new technologies and ways of working to maximise the benefits of our new CRM.
