We are seeking a talented individual to join our driven team to help us fundraise for our multi-million-pound programme of investment in the children’s hospital and NICU.
This exciting role offers a fantastic opportunity for an aspiring and multi-talented individual to develop their career in a fast-paced and ambitious charity. You’ll need great organisational skills to manage multiple activities, strong written communications skills and be a talented and highly motivated team player. You will have a background in fundraising or events and will have the ability to look after our amazing supporters through outstanding stewardship.
The successful applicant will work closely with the Senior Events Fundraiser to ensure that the events programme expands and grows from strength to strength. You will be able to engage, motivate and influence a wide range of people, including members of the public and key stakeholders. Enthusiasm, initiative and energy are important attributes for the role.
The successful applicant will help organise the charity’s events fundraising portfolio and steward participants to generate income. Our current portfolio includes Wallace & Gromit-themed events such as Wallace & Gromit’s Wrong Trousers Day, charity-led challenge events such as our new Three Peaks Challenge, as well as third-party challenge events such as skydives and half marathons. You will also help deliver key supporter stewardship events, working alongside the Corporate and Philanthropy Teams.
2025 is an exciting year as our Gromit Unleashed 3 public arts trail will take place over the summer. Gromit Unleashed 3 follows three trailblazing and award-winning public art trails from Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, in partnership with Aardman. To date these award-winning events have generated over £20 million to support Bristol Children’s Hospital and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This role will have the opportunity to be part of the trail and will support the execution of the highly anticipated trail Exhibition and Auction.

The foundation of our organisation is its strong team culture in which all staff play an essential part. Our staff are talented, creative, ambitious and Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal’s most important resource.
