About YouthCARE

YouthCARE is entering an exciting new chapter. For 54 years we’ve shown up for WA kids and families when it matters most, and today that looks like 450 chaplains and 1,300 volunteers caring for 260,000 people each year. Now we’re growing: strengthening our support for schools and sporting communities across the state, and building the team to make it happen. Join a passionate, expanding team and help create lasting, positive change in the communities we serve.

The Opportunity
Some of our best moments happen when people come together: a fundraising dinner, a church gathering, a thank-you for the volunteers who make it all possible. As our Events and Fundraising Officer, you’ll make those moments happen and turn them into lasting support for our mission.

You’ll plan and deliver YouthCARE’s events calendar end to end, including venues, suppliers, budgets, run sheets, registrations and on-the-day delivery, working with churches, schools, sponsors and our internal teams. On the fundraising side, you’ll own the day-to-day execution of appeals and campaigns, write donor communications and impact updates, grow our regular giving program, and keep our CRM in great shape.

You’ll be part of our new, cooperative Engagement team, and you’ll happily pitch in across content and marketing when priorities call for it.

Who You Are
You’re an organised allrounder who thrives on variety. You can run three events at once and still write a thank-you note that makes a donor feel genuinely valued. You build relationships easily,



you care about results, and you bring a team-first attitude to everything you do.

Selection Criteria
Essential:

- Experience planning and delivering events, ideally including fundraising or community events.

- Experience delivering fundraising campaigns, appeals or donor communications, including building relationships with individual donors.

- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple events and deadlines at once.

- Excellent written communication skills for donor-facing and promotional content.

- A flexible, team-first approach and willingness to support broader marketing tasks.

- Experience with a CRM or donor database, or the ability to learn quickly.

- Support for the Christian mission and vision of YouthCARE.

- Current Working with Children Check and NCCHC clearance, or ability to obtain.

- Current valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel occasionally for events.

Desirable:

- Experience in a not-for-profit, faith-based or community services setting.

- Experience with content creation, social media or basic design tools.

- Experience with regular giving or donor retention programs.

- Event management or hospitality qualifications.
