Charity Jobs in South Yorkshire: Opportunities Beyond Fundraising
When people think about careers in the charity sector, fundraising and volunteering are often among the first things that come to mind. However, charities and community organisations need a wide range of skills to deliver their work, from administration and programme management to digital communications, leadership and community development.
For people looking to use their professional experience in an organisation with a social purpose, there are several opportunities currently advertised across Sheffield and Rotherham.

The Programme Manager position offers £38,000 to £42,000 per year and involves coordinating funded projects, working with partners and helping deliver programmes that support people with digital and AI skills.
