You’ll also support the engagement and recognition of volunteers, including bespoke activity for our Alumni Leadership Mentoring Programme members.

We’re looking for a creative and collaborative individual with experience in donor or stakeholder engagement, event delivery, and writing for impact. You’ll bring a strategic mindset, excellent relationship management skills, and a genuine passion for enhancing the donor experience at a leading university.

Reports to: Museum Director
Employment Type: Permanent
Hours: 30 hours per week (0.8 FTE)
Salary: £28,000 Pro Rata (£35,000 FTE)
We support flexible and hybrid working arrangements and are happy to discuss what this could look like.

About Dr Jenner’s House

Dr Jenner’s House, The Chantry, is a site of profound global historical significance, recognized as the birthplace of vaccination. It was here that Edward Jenner, a country doctor and enlightenment figure, conducted his groundbreaking work in the 1790s, leading to the world's first vaccine and a medical breakthrough that forever changed humanity.

The Jenner Trust, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (registered charity number 1158316), is dedicated to preserving this unique heritage. We operate the museum, provide educational facilities exploring the history and impact of vaccination, and manage a one-acre site encompassing two Grade II* listed structures (The Chantry and Temple of Vaccinia), along with the Cyder House, which serves as our offices and conference centre. We welcome over 4,000 visitors annually and host a variety of school visits, events, and conferences. We are a small team of staff supported by a passionate volunteer team who care for the site and welcome our guests.

This is an exceptionally exciting period for our organisation. We have recently been honoured as a "2024 Place of Science" by the Royal Society, our UNESCO World Heritage Status bid is progressing, and we are delighted to have been successful in obtaining a substantial grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to expand our team and initiate crucial restoration work on the site.

Working collaboratively in a small team with the Museum Director, Chairman, and Trustees, you will be instrumental in driving our fundraising efforts, securing vital income, and building sustainable relationships that will ensure the long-term preservation and educational outreach of Dr Jenner’s House. A key focus will be on developing and implementing a robust capital fundraising strategy and cultivating major grant giving organisations and individual donors.

This role is funded for 18 months through the NLHF and is critical to achieving our ambitious longer-term goals, leading up to the international celebrations around the 50th anniversary of smallpox eradication in 2030 and beyond.

• Ensure grant-funded projects are appropriately managed, and all requisite monitoring and evaluation reports are submitted to funding bodies on time.

Communications & Engagement:

• Produce engaging copy and content for newsletters and assist with external communications, including social media, press releases, and other PR and marketing opportunities, to promote fundraising initiatives.
• Organise and manage fundraising and donor cultivation events, ranging from low-level individual giving activities to major high-level events, especially plans for the 50th anniversary of the eradication of smallpox in 2030.

With such a small staff team we are looking for a candidate who is able to work collaboratively and to support other staff and Trustees in securing the future for the Trust.

Welcome to Retail with a difference

Imagine a retail career where every sale, every display, and every customer interaction directly supports compassionate care for those who need it most. At Princess Alice Hospice, our shops are more than just retail spaces—they’re community hubs that help fund vital hospice services.

With 40 high street locations, we combine professional retail standards with a heartfelt mission. As our Retail Area Manager, you’ll be the face of our values on the high street—leading teams, driving performance, and making a real difference every single day.

About the role: 

As a Retail Area Manager, you’ll take full ownership of a diverse portfolio of shops, leading and supporting teams made up of both paid staff and volunteers.

You’ll be responsible for driving profitability across all income streams while managing controllable expenses, ensuring each shop delivers an exceptional supporter experience through high standards of presentation and service.

This is a hands-on, field-based role where you’ll spend most of your time in-store—guiding teams, solving problems, and fostering a culture of excellence and care.

You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across the Hospice to support day-to-day operations and contribute to the strategic development of our retail offering. This is a dynamic role that requires daily travel between shops and occasional weekend work, aligned with the needs of the business.  A current driving licence (with no more than six penalty points) is essential.

About You: 

This role is ideal for a confident and experienced Area Manager, preferably with a background in charity retail, though we warmly welcome applicants from across the retail (particularly fashion) and service industry with transferable skills.

You’ll be a natural leader with proven people management experience, excellent communication skills, and strong IT competence.

Self-motivated and solution-focused, you’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment where juggling multiple priorities is the norm. Your ability to build relationships at all levels, handle conflict constructively, and stay organised and flexible will be key to your success in this role.

As well as our competitive salary package and the opportunity to join an organisation which places patients at the heart of what we do, we also offer a range of great benefits, which include:

• 27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays – rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service
• Training support and development opportunities 
• Employee Assistance Programme – promoting staff wellbeing 
• Access to blue light card discount 
• Access to Pension Scheme 

If you’re a motivated, organised leader who’s passionate about retail and community impact, we’d love to hear from you!

Discover a career where retail means more. The difference is You.
