Job Description

Founded 25 years ago to encourage young people to ‘embrace the adventure of faith through adventure and education in a positive Christian environment’, AdventurePlus (A+) now works with approximately 6,000 children and young people each year.

Our mission and ministry is expanding in a number of different areas. We recently acquired Windmill Farm Conference Centre and an additional 50 acres on which to develop a brand new ‘AdventureBase’ 

Business & Strategic Development Manager: As A+ continues to grow, we are looking for someone with the right business skills and experience to help lead us through this step change and into the next chapter.

A strong background in strategic planning in addition to day to day management of a thriving business is therefore essential.

Fund-raising & Marketing: We are currently mid-way through a £2m Appeal to raise funds to complete the purchase of WFCC and commence development of the AdventureBase. The role is an opportunity to see this Appeal through to completion in October 2017 (at £500k per year) and thereafter to continue to fund the ongoing development of market-leading facilities on our site.

In addition to leading on major funding applications, you would coordinate the efforts of a superb team of (part time) fund raising volunteers and coordinate fund raising events including our Charity Ball, Witney2Westminster and the Family Fun Day.

Other aspects of marketing include regular e-Updates and our annual Newsletter.

The role may also include tasking and managing our in-house (half time) IT & website manager.

This is not a role for someone wanting to work in the outdoor activities…

This is a role for someone wanting to serve God by serving: the young people we reach; the A+ team; and over 3000 supporters.

Your role will be key in equipping & enabling A+ to reach more young people through our work.
