Volunteer Finance & Fundraising Officer

Are you a zookeeper (past or present) who’s organised, got a bit of financial common sense, or just wants to give back to the community? This could be your moment to help KEEP grow and continue supporting keepers

KEEP has come a long way in the short time we have been running, and we are continuing to grow with very exciting plans in the pipeline! We are now looking for a new team member to take on the vital role of Finance and Fundraising Officer within KEEP.

The Role:

• Overseeing KEEP’s finances - Keeping a log of what's coming in and going out.
• Managing and approving payments (e.g. website and email services, stipends, travel refunds, giveaways)
• Helping us plan budgets for new ideas or community projects.
• Approaching zoos, businesses, or suppliers to find sponsors or donors
• Helping us fund KEEP placement grants and running costs
• Finding cool opportunities for member giveaways (e.g. merch, tickets, experiences)
• Building relationships with sponsors and saying thank-you properly!
• Keeping an eye out for grant opportunities or other funding sources
• Working with us on fundraising campaigns or drives

What we’re looking for:

A current or former zookeeper (or someone with the right skills who loves what KEEP stands for)

No spreadsheet wizardry needed (but always appreciated), just organised and trustworthy.

Friendly and reliable, with decent communication skills

Comfortable approaching businesses or collections

No fixed time commitment – totally flexible around your schedule

Bonus if you’re already familiar with KEEP and want to help shape where we go next
 

This is a volunteer role, but a seriously important one. Whether you’ve got fundraising experience, just love a good spreadsheet, or want to support the people who support keepers – we’d love to hear from you.
