Are you looking for a career where no two days are the same, where you’ll be working with a friendly, supportive and caring team? If so, we’ve got the perfect role for you! Each day you’ll be helping us go the extra mile to be here for the children, young people and families who rely on us.

This is a great opportunity to work for Rainbows, the only hospice in the East Midlands for life-limited children and young people. We are here to make life brighter with amazing care and support for them and their families – you can be part of it too. Come and be part of something amazing.

Directly supporting the Head of Community and Events, you will be working with the Community Fundraising Team, colleagues from other departments, supporters and volunteers to maximise participation and income from both Rainbows events, and third-party events. You will be responsible for both leading and supporting on the successful delivery of events - existing and new, and identifying and exploring new fundraising events and current trends.

You will be experienced in planning, promoting and organising events, as well as working with volunteers and committees. You’ll be confident working to budgets and providing financial data.

The successful candidate will also be an exceptional and confident communicator, able to prioritise a sometimes demanding and shifting workload, work well under pressure independently and as part of a team, motivating others to achieve demanding targets.
