We are looking for a highly organised fundraising administrator with a strong eye for detail who can manage multiple tasks simultaneously to join a rapidly growing charity.

The Listening Place (TLP) has grown from a £500,000 to a £2m charity in just five years. It has done so by finding and fostering excellent long-term relationships with generous supporters who share TLP’s mission to provide free, face-to-face support for people struggling with suicidal feelings.

As TLP continues to expand, we need a focused, diligent individual who can ensure that our growing number of supporters experience the high-quality stewardship they deserve.
