Zoe's Place is the UK's only baby-specific hospice charity, providing specialist palliative, respite and end-of-life care for children aged 0 to 5 with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. They offer a safe, nurturing and joyful environment where families can feel completely supported. With their dedicated nurses delivering 24-hour care, they work together to make every moment of childhood count.
About the role
As Corporate Fundraiser, you'll develop and manage a portfolio of corporate supporters, helping businesses engage with Zoe's Place through charity partnerships, sponsorship, employee fundraising, payroll giving and events. You'll work closely with existing supporters to maximise income and engagement, while also identifying and securing new opportunities across the local business community.
You'll have the chance to represent the hospice at networking events, deliver presentations, organise supporter events and create compelling proposals that inspire businesses to get involved. Alongside relationship management, you'll use the fundraising CRM to manage your pipeline, forecast income and ensure every supporter receives excellent stewardship.
No two days will be the same. One day you could be presenting to a local business, the next planning a supporter event, reconnecting with former corporate partners or developing ideas to strengthen an existing relationship.
About you
We would love to hear from you if you have:
- Experience in fundraising, sales, account management, business development or corporate partnerships
- Confidence building and managing relationships with a variety of stakeholders
- Excellent communication and presentation skills
- The ability to identify opportunities, develop proposals and influence others
- Strong organisational skills and experience managing multiple priorities
- Confidence using databases or CRM systems and working with income pipelines
Most importantly, you'll be proactive, enthusiastic and motivated by the opportunity to help businesses make a meaningful difference to local children and families. If you're excited by the idea of building lasting partnerships, growing income and representing an organisation that changes lives every day, we'd love to hear from you.
