**A new fundraising jobs board launches today from social enterprise GoodJobs. The
site aims to help charities by offering low-cost job advertising and to boost diversity
and inclusion in the recruitment of fundraisers to strengthen the broader charity
sector.**

[GoodJobs](http://www.goodjobs.org.uk) is focusing on providing charities with a
single annual subscription fee that will let them post an unlimited number of their
fundraising vacancies during the year. Subscriptions are intentionally low-cost 
to help charities reduce their recruitment advertising costs, and to enable smaller
charities to consider advertising on a broader scale than they might have done previously.

Small charities’ annual subscriptions cost £120, with the largest charities paying
£600. Indeed, for the very smallest charities, with an annual income of less than
£150,000, there is no charge to use the service.

## GoodJobs Fund

The site has been co-founded by three experienced fundraising sector consultants–
Andrew Thomas of Charity Consultants, James Redhead, formerly of Prospecting for
Gold, and UK Fundraising’s Director Howard Lake.
They have pledged to donate **25%**
of profits to the GoodJobs Fund. This will distribute grants quarterly to support
initiatives that are tackling equality, diversity and inclusion in fundraising recruitment
and training. 

## Recruitment advice

GoodJobs will be providing a range of support to charities looking to recruit their
first ever fundraiser. In partnership with, [Charity People](http://www.charitypeople.co.uk),
GoodJobs has compiled free toolkits for charities to help them recruit the ideal
person and for fundraisers and volunteers to find their perfect job.

Charity People will also be supporting a free advice line to offer further help 
to charities taking this important step.
Co-founder Howard Lake said: “[GoodJobs](http://www.goodjobs.org.uk)
is a ground-breaking social enterprise, benefiting both smaller charities considering
employing their first fundraiser and larger charities. The work involved to find
the right person can be daunting: GoodJobs will help remove these barriers. Also,
our GoodJobs Fund will play an important role in helping address the inclusion issues
in charity fundraising recruitment and career development.”

Ed Percival, MD of Charity People, added: “We’re all aware of both the acute shortage
of fundraisers, and that the cost of recruitment can be prohibitive for many smaller
charities. We are delighted to be able to support this initiative, both by providing
our expertise and by advertising on the site. We are optimistic that the GoodJobs
fund may help to increase the diversity of fundraisers.”
