The purpose of this role is to support the Hospice in achieving its strategic aim of reaching more people, enabling the communities they serve to have the best care and support before, during and after death.

You will possess the relevant awareness of clinical work, and how the health and care system would operate, plus awareness of knowledge of palliative end of life care. You will also be able to show your ability to engage with various communities and experience in doing so.

What we do
All young people deserve a productive, fulfilling future. Society needs the spark and energy of young people to make it tick, yet somehow thousands of young people feel blocked by the complex, sometimes disheartening challenges the modern world throws at them.
Youth work is the best methodology to unlock young people’s potential by providing high quality support and opportunities.

Youth work enables young people to develop their voice, influence, and place within society.

You will promote the NYA Quality Mark, Hear by Right standard, Youth Work Curriculum, and bespoke consultancy, training, and support services.
Other duties will include market research, developing business strategies and pitches, managing projects, and identifying new business opportunities. You will work with our youth workers and operations team and report to the Director of Growth.
About you
The successful applicant will be resourceful, organised and motivated to increase sales, enhance the charity’s reputation and look for new and creative ways to market our products and services. A background in sales or marketing is strongly desirable. Used to developing and managing a sales pipeline, working with high value clients, and understanding the client market are key facets of the role. It is important that you are familiar with marketing consultancy and training services, ideally in the voluntary and public sector and/or in a related field.
