Who we are:

University Jewish Chaplaincy supports students in 13 regions at universities around the UK. Our chaplains and chaplaincy couples are there for Jewish students of all backgrounds and affiliations. They provide a warm, vibrant, inclusive and inspiring Jewish environment with thousands of students benefiting every year from their pastoral, spiritual and practical support. Our goal is to give Jewish students – wherever they may be – access to a UJC chaplain. Established in the late 1960s, we are a growing charity with an annual budget of approx. £1.2m
per annum.

What we do:

University Jewish Chaplaincy works with students across the UK to enhance the Jewish student experience. We aim to create a warm, inclusive environment in which Jewish students of every background can live happy inspired Jewish lives. From offering a listening ear to running inspiring and engaging educational sessions; from being there in times of crisis to creating the familiar experience of Shabbat meals, our chaplains are uniquely poised to assist students when and where they need it most.

The Role:

This is an exciting opportunity to join our fast-paced head office team in London and help make a significant difference to Jewish student life on campus. University Jewish Chaplaincy is funded through a mixture of income from appeals, major donors and trusts and private individuals. After an incredibly successful online matched giving event, UJC are looking to move our fundraising to the next level, professionalising, expanding and diversifying its fundraising arm which will in turn secure its provision for the future. The core focus of the role will be the development and implementation of a fundraising strategy, donor and grant stewardship, and the running of fundraising appeals, with oversight of the organisation’s marketing and communications.

You should apply if:

You’re stimulated by the idea of building something from an early stage; you’re looking for a role where you can get involved in all aspects of fundraising; you’re successful at engaging with people and selling our vision; and you care about contributing to our warm and collaborative team culture. Most critically, you believe that the future of Jewish life in the UK will be decided on campus during Jewish students’ formative years, and you want to build that future with us.
