Posted: 4 days ago
Are you passionate about making a tangible impact locally and changing the lives of vulnerable young people? Roundabout is looking for a Events Fundraising Manager to support homeless young people aged 16-25 in Sheffield.
About the role
We are seeking a highly organised, creative, and results-driven Event Manager to lead and grow Roundabout’s events portfolio. This is a pivotal role in our fundraising team, taking overall responsibility for the planning, delivery, and evaluation of our events programme to maximise income, engage supporters, and raise awareness of youth homelessness in South Yorkshire.
As Event Manager, you will have ownership of our flagship events — A Night at the Musicals, Sleep Out, and The Yorkshire Chocolate Festival — ensuring they are delivered to the highest standard and achieve ambitious fundraising targets. You will also lead the development of our third-party events calendar, identifying and leveraging opportunities such as the Sheffield 10k, Tough Mudder, and Sky Dives to engage new audiences.
Your role will combine strategic planning with hands-on delivery. You will:
> Create a calendar of events and fundraising opportunities.
> Develop and manage event budgets, ensuring strong return on investment.
> Lead event logistics, highlight marketing needs, and supporter stewardship strategies.
> Recruit, manage, and motivate event volunteers and fundraisers.
> Build and nurture long-term relationships with corporate partners, sponsors, and key stakeholders.
> Innovate — bringing fresh ideas to grow participation, income, and brand visibility.
This is a fast-paced, varied role that blends office-based planning with being on the ground at events, ensuring every supporter has an exceptional experience. You’ll inspire others through your passion, professionalism, and creativity, making a tangible difference for the young people we support.
Join us to lead unforgettable events, grow our reach, and help end youth homelessness in South Yorkshire.
