Help people remember, celebrate and give in meaningful ways

At Trinity Hospice, we believe in providing compassionate care not only for patients, but also for the families and loved ones around them. For more than 40 years, we’ve supported communities across Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre, offering care, comfort and guidance at some of life’s most difficult times.

We are looking for a thoughtful and dedicated In Memory Officer to join our Fundraising and Communications Team. This is a deeply meaningful role, offering the opportunity to shape how we support people to remember and celebrate those who matter most to them, while helping to generate vital income for our hospice services.

In this role, you will lead the delivery and development of our in-memory fundraising programme, creating compassionate and engaging ways for supporters to honour loved ones. You will take ownership of key initiatives such as Light up a Life and Memory Meadow, while also exploring new opportunities for people to connect, remember and give. Alongside this, you will play a central role in shaping our bereavement communications, ensuring supporters receive thoughtful, timely and sensitive engagement throughout their journey. 

This position brings together creativity, organisation and empathy. You will be confident managing multiple projects, using data and insight to inform your work, and delivering high-quality communications across a range of channels. Just as importantly, you will have the emotional intelligence and judgement needed to work in sensitive situations, ensuring every interaction reflects the care and compassion at the heart of Trinity Hospice.

Collaboration is key to success in this role. You will work closely with colleagues across fundraising, communications and clinical teams, as well as building relationships within the local community, including funeral directors and supporters. Together, you will help create a seamless and supportive experience for bereaved families while growing a sustainable and impactful in memory giving programme.

Joining Trinity Hospice means becoming part of a team where your work has real impact. We are committed to helping our people develop and thrive, offering opportunities for learning and a range of wellbeing and staff benefits.

This is more than a fundraising role, it is an opportunity to make a lasting difference. Through your work, you will help people remember loved ones in meaningful ways, while ensuring we can continue to provide compassionate care to those who need us most.

About Bond and the role 

Bond is the UK network for organisations working in international development. We unite and support a diverse network of over 400 civil society organisations to help eradicate global poverty, inequality and injustice. We strengthen and champion the sector to make international development more efficient and effective. We work to influence governments and policy-makers, develop the skills of people in the sector, share expertise, and build organisational capacity and partnerships. 

BAWG is the Bond Afghan Working Group which represents approx. 30 charitable organisations based in the UK and Ireland, with a focus on Afghanistan. BAWG’s members are involved in the delivery of humanitarian & development aid, through colleagues, teams and local providers throughout Afghanistan.

BAWG’s focus is advocacy and comms with key stakeholders in the UK, who are primarily MPs, parliamentarians and select media. Members of BAWG meet online once a fortnight; the group has a Steering Committee, which is accountable to its members and has recently embarked on a new strategic direction. 

We are now looking for a Coordinator who will ensure both the smooth day-to-day running of BAWG and also play a pivotal role in the next steps in delivering our strategy. The role, funded from membership fees and donations, is BAWG’s only salaried post, and will ensure the board meets its commitments to members, and reports effectively into Bond. For the right candidate, it offers a real opportunity to play an active and important role in BAWG’s development. 

Main purpose of the job 

This is a new role at an important time; government funding is under extreme pressure and the geo-political backdrop is increasingly tumultuous, while Afghanistan continues to be one of world’s most fragile and challenging contexts. BAWG’s focus and objectives require careful coordination, so we are in search of a skilful professional who will be equally comfortable to perform admin duties, but also embrace the possibilities of a passionate network of individuals and organisations.

• We need someone who will be able to establish and maintain appropriate administrative routines, contribute to long-term sustainability of the group and take responsibility for overseeing membership, fundraising and coordination of communication with key stakeholders. 

• The successful candidate will have a good working knowledge of the context and some demonstrable passion for the key issues facing organisations working in Afghanistan. 

• A key aspect of the role will be to maintain relationships with key government departments and contacts, so experience in similar role is desirable. The key skills and competencies include Stakeholder management, organisational and influencing.

A Day in the Life 

A day in the life of the adviser is likely to be very varied. Built around a fortnightly meeting with the group, the adviser will act as a focus for sharing intelligence and information coming out of the group, and ensuring that all members are well informed. At the same time, the adviser might equally be working with members of Bond’s media team, looking at opportunities to bring focus and attention on issues relating to Afghanistan through opinion pieces commissioned from key thinkers. Or it might be an event in Parliament, building consensus and support with MPs, looking at opportunities to bring key issues to light. And, of course, you will be part of Bond’s wider membership team, and exploring ways of working together, looking at how we attract new members into the group will be part of the role. It’s an ideal role for someone who likes to dive into different areas of activity at the same time, but also to bring their own ideas about networking and engagement to the wider team.

• Develop and manage good working relationships with BOND, maintaining BAWG’s presence on and contribution to the BOND platform and liaising with contacts at BOND to ensure a good working relationship. 

• Maintain records of all group members and establish effective approach to the sharing of documents and flow of information 

• Work with the BAWG Board and wider group of members to develop current membership and explore ways of augmenting BAWG’s reserves including fundraising, membership drive and event planning 

• Playing an active role in defining and shaping the scope of BAWG with professional administration 

• Overseeing and supporting the design and implementation of BAWG’s strategic annual plan 

• Supporting the group to maintain relationships with key government departments, including the Humanitarian Team at FCDO. 

• Supporting the group to maintain key relationships with other sector working groups, including those run by Bond, and others outside the Bond network 

• Supporting and coordinating fundraising opportunities that support key group activities. 

• Overseeing relevant funding calls; where feasible, leading on opportunities from donors and/or potential new members to support BAWG’s work.

• Developing and delivering a comprehensive comms approach for BAWG 

• Coordinating and delivering events on behalf of the group as appropriate 

• Manage consultations with membership to inform external engagement
