Child Welfare Tshwane (CWT) is a community-based Child Protection Organisation that functions within the legal framework of the Children’s Act 2005. They are over 100 years old and are deeply rooted in the communities of Tshwane.

Child Welfare Tshwane are responsible for the administration of protection services to abused and vulnerable children and their families. Safety and risk assessment services are provided across the Tshwane geographical area, with the main aim of securing a better life for children in Tshwane, through various intervention strategies. These include residential care, adoption, fostering, early childhood development and risk assessment.

The role of the Fundraising and Markeing Manager  is to raise as much funds as possible and create awareness of the organisation, the wonderful work that they do and the difference they make in the lives of vulnerable children, families and communities.

It’s certainly a varied job.  A typical day might see you writing proposals to international foundations, planning a local fundraising event, mailing an update to current donors and launching and awareness campaign through social media. You’ll work closely with the Chair and other Board members, and you’ll sit on the Executive Committee, reporting directly to the Director. You’ll coordinate and recruit volunteers, liaise with colleagues and manage suppliers. 

We’re looking for someone with a fundraising background, or from a marketing and communications background, who can transfer their skills into raising funds. You’ll have a relevant qualification, or comparative skills gained in the workplace. You’ll understand how to organise events, manage relationships with donors, create publicity and communications and be able to represent Child Welfare Tshwane with donors and funders.

The role is based in the Child Welfare Tshwane head office in Pretoria and you’ll be there regularly, liaising with colleagues and organising activities.  At times, you’ll be out visiting donors, or working from home on a large funding bid. No two days will be the same!
