Are you a motivated, driven fundraising manager with experience of leading teams and running successful fundraising appeals?

Following a successful capital appeal to build the first children’s hospice in Wiltshire, Julia’s House is now providing vital home-based and hospice-based care to many life-limited children across the county. With no government support, maintaining this lifeline for local families can only be achieved with the support of the Wiltshire public, hence running an appeal for vital funds.

We are looking for applicants who have:

• A successful track record in running fundraising appeals

• Genuine empathy with the need to significantly increase funds to deliver life-changing care

In addition to a generous salary package we also offer 30 days annual leave (plus Bank Holidays) – pro rata for part-time staff - and a generous pension scheme, amongst our benefits.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our family and be part of our passionate, dedicated team where you can make a significant difference to the lives of local families in Wiltshire.
