Recruitment for hybrid jobs has grown markedly over the last year, with more than half of fundraising roles now offering a mix of home and office working, according to latest analysis.

The number of hybrid roles advertised has grown by 900% over the last year, while roles asking workers to be on charity premises only have plummeted by 64%.

In 2022, 52% of all advertised fundraising jobs were hybrid, while only a third were onsite and 15% were remote working only.

This compares to only 5% of jobs advertised as hybrid in 2019, when 91% jobs were onsite and 4% were remote.

The figures have emerged in analysis published by the Chartered Institute of Fundraising of jobs placed with recruitment platform CharityJob.

“There’s been significant changes in our working patterns in recent years, changes which were largely driven by necessity and the need to comply with government guidance and safety measures as a result of the pandemic,” says the analysis.

“Fast-forward to today, and, for many of us, these changes remain a way of life, with hybrid and remote working options fast becoming the norm and an often expected and welcome aspect of our working lives.”

Meanwhile, the analysis also found that there are more managerial roles in fundraising, compared to the rest of the charity sector.

Fundraising also has more full-time roles than the wider charity sector, a trend that has increased over the last three years.

The analysis adds: “For many of us, the freedom to choose when and where we work, at least for some of our working week, provides the opportunity to strike a better balance between our home and working life.

“And, as technology continues to allow us all to explore new ways of working and redefine the relationship between us and our places of work, it’s a trend that looks set to stay.”
