A warm thank-you, a quick response to a question, or a little help updating a regular donation can make a real difference to someone who gives to Whānau Āwhina Plunket. We’re looking for a Donor Care Coordinator who enjoys helping people and takes pride in getting the details right. Our preference is for this role to be based in Wellington, but we are willing to consider applicants in Auckland and Christchurch

You’ll be a friendly first point of contact for our supporters, answering enquiries by phone and email and following them through to resolution. You’ll welcome new supporters, thank people for giving and handle sensitive conversations with care. Your mahi will help build lasting relationships with the people whose generosity supports services for pēpi, tamariki and whānau across Aotearoa.

Working alongside our Database Manager and wider Fundraising Team, you’ll also:

  • Process donations and regular giving payments, issue receipts and reconcile transactions.
  • Help supporters update their payment details and resolve payment issues with care.
  • Keep supporter records and communication preferences accurate and up to date in our fundraising CRM.
  • Support fundraising campaigns and appeals and share what you’re hearing from supporters so we can improve their experience.

  • A warm, professional phone manner and clear written communication.
  • Strong attention to detail and confidence working with payments, figures and reconciliations.
  • Experience using a CRM or similar system, and confidence with Microsoft 365.
  • The ability to organise your work as priorities change and handle personal and financial information with discretion.

Experience in fundraising, regular giving or the not-for-profit sector is welcome. If your experience comes from customer service or administration and you’re curious about fundraising, we’d love to hear from you.
