This is a fantastic opportunity to join The Christie Charity in a brand-new role that will play a key part in shaping the future of our fundraising events programme.

As Fundraising Officer, you'll help deliver an exciting portfolio of charity-owned and third-party events that inspire supporters, create unforgettable experiences and generate vital income to support world-leading cancer care, research and treatment. Every event you help deliver will make a real difference to the lives of patients and their families.

This is a varied and rewarding role that sits across both our Events and Corporate Partnerships teams, giving you the opportunity to develop a broad range of fundraising skills. Alongside delivering exceptional events, you'll support the growth of our corporate fundraising programme by helping to build strong business partnerships, increase employee engagement and identify new opportunities to maximise fundraising income.

If you're passionate about creating memorable supporter experiences, thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to be part of an ambitious team making a tangible impact, we'd love to hear from you.
