Job Details

Community and Events Fundraiser
Wiltshire, UK

Are you passionate about helping people to raise money? Do you want to do it for a brilliant cause and a company that has just been rated as outstanding by the CQC? Then we have just the job for you!

Our fundraising team raises vital income to enable us to care for people with life limiting illnesses in our community. Now is a very exciting time to join us, as our community is able to start mixing with each other again. We raise income through various events, activities and platforms working with our community to promote the Hospice. We are passionate about providing excellent supporter care and are now looking to recruit new team members to join our friendly and committed team.

Salary: £22,488 - £25,134 per annum
Hours: Core Hours are 37.5 per week, Monday-Friday

What is the role?

Responsible for your own income & expenditure targets within the overall fundraising budget, you will be a key contact with all our supporters, building robust and sustainable relationships. You will give an excellent supporter experience by offering support and guidance to groups and individuals organising events and activities in aid of the hospice, helping them to fully maximise their fundraising opportunities.

To enable seamless organisation and promotion of initiatives, you will work with other teams across the hospice and in particular with our communications team. You will continuously review the community fundraising initiatives we offer to facilitate the best possible experience for our loyal supporters, as well as ensuring a good return on investment and growth in income.

As a confident and outwards facing person, you will talk to, and support, a wide range of individuals and groups, both face to face, via presentations and through effectively carrying out administrative duties. You will be an ambassador for the charity, keen to recruit sign-ups, encourage full fundraising potential and galvanise further support.

The role has a requirement to work evenings and weekends in order to support events and activities in exchange for time back in lieu.

If you have great relationship management and building skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage and deliver on multiple priorities, this could be the role for you.

In return, we offer a great range of employee schemes and benefits, including generous annual leave, free parking on-site, on-site café, employee assistance programme, wellbeing team, generous pension scheme, Blue Light Discount Card and so much more!

- Enthusiasm
- Evidence of excellent customer and/or supporter experience
- Excellent time management, administration and organisation skills
- A keenness to work with, and talk to, people (including public speaking)
- Good engagement and communication skills at all levels
- A proactive approach
- Creativity
- The ability to meet timescales and manage expectations
- To be target driven and passionate about what we do
