St Nicholas Hospice Care is a successful charity serving the local area of West Suffolk and Thetford. Every year we support nearly 2,000 local people, delivering care across multiple settings. Our services are not just for patients, but for their family and friends too, and include everything from specialist medical care to bereavement support and practical help.

Are you highly organised, confident in all forms of communication and known for your attention to detail? In this role, you’ll use your strong administrative and planning skills to keep events and community activities running smoothly, whilst providing reliable and proactive support to colleagues and volunteers. If you thrive in a busy environment, enjoy coordinating moving parts, and take pride in delivering work to a high standard, this could be the ideal next step for you.

As our Fundraising Assistant (Events & Community), you’ll be at the heart of supporting imaginative, meaningful and well‑run events that truly bring people together. Playing an integral part of the supporter journey — from planning the details to coordinating volunteers and supporting our fantastic local fundraisers — you’ll help create moments that matter and ensure every supporter feels valued from their first contact through to their thank‑you.

Working alongside colleagues and volunteers, you’ll help share inspiring stories, support the delivery of engaging activities, and play a part in connecting people to a cause that truly matters. Through each conversation, task and event you support, you’ll be contributing to St Nicholas Hospice Care’s mission to provide compassionate care to nearly 2,000 people each year.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in providing reliable, well‑organised administrative support. One day you might be assisting colleagues with the logistics for a flagship event; the next, helping a community group with the practical steps needed to develop their fundraising idea.
