Administrative and Fundraising Assistant
Part-time (Hours to be agreed)
About Friends of the Sick (Chevrat Bikkur Cholim)
Friends of the Sick (Chevrat Bikkur Cholim) (FOS) is a registered charity established over 70 years ago whose purpose is to provide support workers to enable elderly or incapacitated people in the Jewish community to carry on leading their life in the comfort and security of their own homes. At the core of what we do is the belief that no-one should have to face old age or illness on their own. We employ paid staff to support our clients with various tasks such as shopping, cooking and transport and to provide companionship. FOS does not provide personal care, as it is not licensed to do so. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we can provide help at a reduced cost to our clients. In some cases, we significantly reduce or waive the charge we make for our services.
Job Summary
The Administrative and Fundraising Assistant is an important role within FOS. The successful applicant will lead on the generation of income, with a particular focus on charitable trusts and foundations, to support running costs and new projects. He/she will also be expected to raise the profile of FOS and to attract a new generation of donors within the Jewish community. The right candidate will be a strong communicator who can bring applications and proposals to life with compelling narrative to demonstrate FOS’s case to a range of funders.
This is an excellent opportunity to use your skills and experience as a seasoned administrator and fundraiser to improve the support given to our clients, their families and support workers.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
