We have seen record breaking corporate partnerships income in the last two years and we want that growth to continue – but we know there are more opportunities than we can capitalise on with our team the size that it is. The fundraising team has ambitious targets over the next 3 – 5 years, and we won’t reach them if we’re leaving potential partnerships behind.

We’re looking for an ambitious and tenacious new business fundraiser to help us bring new partnerships to the charity, and ultimately raise more money to deliver the change we want to see for people with blood cancer.

You will be an effective fundraiser; someone who can build strong relationships, communicate effectively, and is naturally entrepreneurial. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.

The successful candidate will also have a strategic outlook, excellent organisational skills and experience of managing multiple projects and people.

In line with our Investors in People Gold status, we are looking for someone who has the skills and understanding to empower and enable their staff to take ownership, innovate and feel fulfilled in their roles.

This is an excellent opportunity for a highly skilled project manager to apply their skills and experience to a senior role, including becoming part of PDT’s Senior Management Team.

PDT’s Health and Climate Programme consists of a staff team of 22 covering four Community and Maternity Champions projects in Queens Park, Harrow Road, Westbourne and Church Street, Westminster Maternity Champions, North Paddington Climate Champions and a team of Community Health and Wellbeing Workers in Church Street.
