About our team:

Fun runs, sky diving, fetes, sponsorship, donations, supporter relationships…we fundraising folk love to prove the difference we make. 

We’re small enough to be a close-knit team where you can see the difference your projects make to the care we give every day, yet big and ambitious enough for you to grow and explore new fundraising events and techniques, as well as support you with training, opportunities and fantastic wellness benefits.

About the role:

We’re on the lookout for a passionate and personable experienced fundraiser to become a valued part of our close-knit team.

Reporting to the Community, Corporate and Events Lead, this role supports our ambition to generate income through community fundraising, corporate partnerships, and a wide range of events. You will proactively manage projects and build strong relationships with individuals, businesses and community groups, while also line-managing two enthusiastic team members.

Alongside maximising opportunities with our existing supporters, you will play a key role in developing and nurturing new ideas, partnerships and activities. Your work will help to grow this vital income stream and ensure we continue to connect meaningfully with the communities and organisations that champion Princess Alice Hospice.

This is primarily an office‑based role due to the team‑management and supervisory responsibilities. We expect most work to be carried out on-site to support new team members and ensure effective collaboration. However, once established in the role, there may be scope to work from home up to two days per week, depending on performance, team needs, and operational requirements.

About you:

For you the supporter is key, whether they’re a running in a marathon, holding a tea party, or a corporate partnership taking part in an international sponsored bike ride.

You’ll be enthusiastic, highly organised, and able to multitask effectively. With strong verbal and written communication skills, you’ll also have some experience in charity fundraising, particularly community fundraising—whether voluntary or paid. Strong in administrative tasks, you’ll be confident in managing multiple responsibilities while maintaining attention to detail. Above all, you’ll be passionate about community fundraising and building meaningful connections to support a great cause. 

If you love building relationships, inspiring generosity, and making a real impact, we’d love to meet you!

As well as our competitive salary package and the opportunity of joining an organisation where you will be able to make a difference, we 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 (pro rata for part time)
• Training support and development opportunities
• Free onsite parking
• Subsidised meals at onsite canteen

Let’s make a difference together.
