**Social impact apprenticeship provider The Juice Academy has launched a fundraiser
apprenticeship programme, aimed at helping to address the shortage and increase 
diversity in the role. **

Jane Montague Consultancy, which has worked with charities across the UK and Channel
Islands, will deliver the apprenticeship, called the [Fundraiser Level 3 Standard](https://www.juiceacademy.co.uk/fundraiser).
The course will last 13-15 months with four intakes a year. Areas covered will include
raising financial funds and non-financial support, how to create a case for support,
communication and digital marketing, storytelling and relationship fundraising, 
aligning campaigns with the donor journey, developing resilience, and monitoring
and evaluating.

Apprentices will be employed by a charity and will be spending 4 days a week on 
the job in their office (unless they are a remote or hybrid working company). Most
training sessions will be remote, with a few in-person sessions in The Academy in
Manchester. Sessions will be every other week, with some half days and some full
days.

For the first year, the minimum salary is £13,000 with pay then increased to the
National Minimum Wage for the individual’s age for the remainder of the apprenticeship.

Jane Montague said:

Georgia Fitzgerald, Commercial Director at [The Juice Academy](https://www.juiceacademy.co.uk/)
commented:
