Why join our team?

Working at Survival is about being part of a brave organization with a long and inspiring history, one that effects real change. Our work is preventing the annihilation of Indigenous peoples worldwide. And our campaigns have succeeded, time and time again.

Our objective is to champion Indigenous peoples’ rights and so diversity and inclusion is the cornerstone of our work. Survival is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and actively welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds. We will not discriminate on the basis of any aspect of your identity. 

We uphold these principles in our behaviors and practices – as an employer and as a campaigning organization.

 

Individual Giving Officer

Survival International is looking for a skilled, enthusiastic Individual Giving Officer, focused on high donors, foundations and legacy givers. If you excel in relationship-building, creative planning, and meticulous organisation, this is your chance to be part of a movement making a difference for Indigenous peoples worldwide.

Focused on engaging with and inspiring individual donors, rather than submitting bids and filing reports, this role gives you the space for creativity and initiative. As part of a small but highly motivated and effective team, you will get to work with and learn from a varied and supportive group of colleagues. 

We are open to recruiting a more experienced candidate, or one earlier in their career - the salary will be set in the upper or lower half of the advertised range accordingly. For a more experienced candidate, we are also open to this being a part-time post.
