Could you use your fundraising skills to help drive forward world class cancer research, right here in Wales for Welsh people? In this brand-new Fundraising Manager role, you'll build relationships with businesses and communities to encourage people to fundraise with a meaningful goal of saving and extending people's lives from the heart-breaking impact of cancer.

It is predicted that one in two of us will have cancer in our lifetime and by 2030, over 230,000 people in Wales will be living with it. As cancer outcomes in Wales tend to be poorer than other UK devolved nations and European countries with similar healthcare systems, it is critical that more research is done and quickly. The good news is that incredible work is being done in Wales to ensure earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment. This charity has been driving forward world class cancer research for almost 60 years, funding more than £30m in research, awareness, and partnerships. But we need and can do so much more.

It's a varied role with huge amounts of potential, working closely alongside fundraising, research and retail colleagues. Opportunities will be available with a wide range of individuals and organisations, including community fundraising volunteers and committees, Welsh business, schools, universities, clubs and associations. With a growing community of donors and supporters taking part in events across Wales, you'll be given the freedom to grow the pipeline in your own way, using your own initiative and innovative ideas.
