Are you looking for a dynamic role where every day brings something new?
Do you excel at building and nurturing meaningful relationships?
At St. Michael’s Hospice, we are fortunate to have incredible organisations, supporters, and volunteers who generously fundraise for us year after year. We’re looking for a passionate and proactive individual to strengthen these relationships, grow our network, and help our supporters and community partners reach their full fundraising potential.
While experience in Community, Individual Giving, or Events fundraising within the charity sector is beneficial, we also welcome applicants with transferable skills. If you have a passion for making a difference, excellent relationship-building abilities, and a can-do attitude, we’d love to hear from you.
We especially encourage applications from those with a background in a customer or client facing role, as providing an outstanding experience to our supporters is at the heart of this role.
Key Responsibilities:
* Build and maintain strong relationships with local community groups, organisations, schools and individuals.
* Develop and implement creative fundraising initiatives, campaigns, and events.
* Inspire and engage volunteers, supporters, and donors to maximize fundraising potential.
* Collaborate with the team to integrate community fundraising into our overall strategy.
What We’re Looking For:
* Experience in fundraising, sales, community engagement, or relationship management.
* Excellent networking and communication skills, with the ability to motivate and inspire others.
* A passion for charitable work and a commitment to supporting our hospice’s mission.
* A proactive and results-driven mindset, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
* Creativity and enthusiasm for developing new fundraising opportunities.
* Whilst there will be core hours, supporting community fundraisers is not a 9-5 job, and evening and weekend working will be required. No two days are the same in this role. One day you could be setting up a gazebo and supporting a fundraiser at a village fete, the next day you could be doing a talk at a Rotary business lunch so you will need to be flexible in your approach.
* Supporting activity across North Hampshire is a key element of this role and travel throughout the region will be expected. Due to the geography of the area, and varying times of community activity some areas may not be accessible by public transport so use of your own car will be essential.
