We’ve helped by continuing to provide care and support to people when they’ve needed it most. This includes caring for people at Wales’ field hospitals, being there for people at vaccination centres and strengthening our Urgent Care Support within the ambulance service.

Now, in 2022, we continue performing a major role in strengthening community resilience and ensuring people are trained in first aid so they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.

We fulfil key front-line roles to support vulnerable people, in addition to offering the opportunity for people from all backgrounds to develop their personal skills and confidence to support our charitable and income generating services whilst assisting their own career development.

As a charity, we partner with the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust and NHS Health Boards, providing ambulance support services in addition to delivering our Falls Response Service, helping people who’ve fallen at home, back to their feet.

The post-holder will have the opportunity to build and shape their area of fundraising and be a part of a new team with great ambitions.

So, if you’re an ambitious fundraiser, with enthusiasm to make a real difference, we would love to hear from you!

What you’ll need to be successful

To achieve the above, we’re looking for a talented, confident, and experienced Trust & Foundation Manager with a proven track record in meeting income targets within a defined timescale, including the ability to independently monitor progress against personal income targets, identifying challenges and solutions for timely communication to key stakeholders.

You’ll be passionate about continuous improvement, suggesting new and/or better ways of working which are supported by clear evidence. You’ll be fluent in articulating these ideas in a positive and supportive way, achieving buy-in at all levels.

What you’ll get in return

In return, you’ll have access to a range of benefits including, but not limited to:

• 31 days holiday (including bank holidays)
• Access to a Blue Light Card, providing various discounts at more than 15,000 retailers.
