We are looking for someone to be the key driver of growth in our important and expanding charity.  Petals generates amazing impact – sometimes we’re the only people there for parents experiencing the trauma of baby loss.  Our clients love what we do, and a high number of them go on to support our vital work.  The hospitals in which we work also love what we do, recognising and funding a gap in NHS provision for emotional support at the point of loss.

But we want more people to know about us, to benefit from our services, to love what we do and to support us.  In short, we have an amazing platform for growth, in reach, impact and support – could you be the person that takes us on the journey?

In return we can offer you an exciting and varied role and a flexible work life balance. You’ll be reporting to me, the CEO, and working with a small but ambitious team of fundraising and counselling professionals to promote and develop Petals’ expansion plans.  This is a new role for Petals and is a great opportunity for someone seeking to apply and expand their experience and responsibility and shape the role to make a real impact. This comes at an important time for us as we are focussing on client and supporter experience and engagement as a key tenet of our strategy.

I hope that you like what you’ve heard and will consider applying. To do so, please send an up to date CV and cover letter.It would also be very helpful to us if you were willing to complete our Equality & Diversity monitoring form and return this to the same email address, under separate cover.
