About the organisation

Organisation Name : BackTrack Youth Works

BackTrack Youth Works exists to help as many young people having a hard time as possible. They fill a gap in the system and have demonstrated their ability to not only keep kids alive and out of jail but chase their hopes and dreams. Founded in Armidale NSW in 2006, the organisation works mostly with kids aged between 12 and 19 years of age, who usually have multiple and complex life challenges. Before BackTrack steps in, they are already falling through the cracks of society. BackTrack is often their last resort for living and thriving in a happy, successful life.

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-paced, growing organisation at a critical time. Under the leadership of BackTrack’s Founder, Bernie Shakeshaft (Australia’s Local Hero of the Year 2020), and with the support of a dedicated, capable team and impressive Board, the organisation has experienced significant growth and success. BackTrack boasts the development and delivery of several impactful programs, the creation of an employment-based social enterprise, a community mentoring program and a strategic plan that will see growth in terms of geography, scale and impact. This is a new role that will ensure the organisation’s approach to generating income is strategic, creative and sustainable.

About the role

  • Unique opportunity to create a strategic & commercial income (fundraising) strategy

  • Build and guide the organisation’s development of its fundraising skills and resources, over time and as appropriate.
  • Take ownership of the organisations fundraising budget and reporting.

You will have a deep understanding and considerable experience in best practice, strategic fundraising combined with a strong commercial acumen and a proven track record of meeting aspirational income targets.  Drawing on your previous experience, you will demonstrate an excellent ability to build rapport and deepen relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders.
