Contract: Permanent, hybrid 35 hours per week 

Salary: £35,426 - £38,093 per annum 

Location: Burford, Oxfordshire, OX18 4PF 

Closing date: Thursday 1st October 2026 

We’re recruiting a Data Compliance Officer!  You’ll be joining our Data & Insights team and be our data compliance subject matter expert (SME) in support of the successful delivery of the Blue Cross Data Strategy.  In this position you will help us continue cultivating a data-driven culture across our organisation, building a charity-wide community focused on data. This is a hybrid role and you must be able to work from our Burford office in Oxfordshire twice a week. 

More about the role

We are looking for a Data Compliance Officer to join our Data & Insights team within Information Services, working in close collaboration with our Head of Legal and Data Protection (DPO). In this role, you will be the day to day subject matter expert ensuring our data practices, marketing activities, and fundraising operations are compliant, robust, and aligned with current regulation. If you want to use your regulatory knowledge in a supportive, purpose-driven environment, this is a great opportunity to make a real impact. 

This role focuses on delivering clear, practical compliance guidance across the charity rather than taking a theoretical or box-ticking approach. You will act as the go to contact for advice on the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) code, PECR, and HMRC Gift Aid compliance, while supporting the DPO to maintain alignment with the UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. Your day to day work will range from assisting with Subject Access Requests and data incident responses to reviewing targeted communications, ensuring valid permission statements are in place, and auditing third-party supplier standards. 

You will collaborate closely with marketing, fundraising, and digital project teams to understand their goals and help them design compliant, effective processes from the start. Working alongside colleagues in Information Services, you will help develop data quality KPIs, establish standard operating procedures, and identify areas for automation and process improvement. You will also have the opportunity to advise on emerging challenges, including the responsible and transparent use of data in Artificial Intelligence, and deliver straightforward training and guidance that helps colleagues handle data with confidence. 

This is a hybrid role and you must be able to work from our Burford office in Oxfordshire twice a week. 

About you

You have a solid foundation in data protection and direct marketing regulations, with a knack for translating complex legal rules into simple, practical advice that colleagues can readily apply. You take an analytical, considered approach to your work and feel comfortable balancing multiple projects, queries, and statutory deadlines without losing sight of detail. 

Collaboration is key to how you work. Rather than simply highlighting obstacles, you enjoy working alongside different teams to find workable solutions that achieve their objectives while keeping the organisation fully compliant. You bring sound judgment, the confidence to escalate risks when necessary, and strong communication skills that allow you to build positive working relationships across all levels of the charity. 
 

Essential Qualifications, Skills, and Experience 

• In-depth working knowledge of Direct Marketing Association code (DMA) and Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 
• A good working knowledge of UK GDPR, experience in the practical application of UK GDPR principles and effective monitoring of compliance, including Subject Access Requests and Data Privacy Impact Assessments 
• Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly and calmly to non-experts
• Ability to work with diverse personalities and different perspectives to find common ground and influence positive outcomes
• Possess the confidence and integrity to highlight and escalate risks. 
• Possess strong attention to detail.  
• Ability to demonstrate understanding of and application of our Blue Cross values 

Desirable Qualifications, Skills, and Experience 

• Practical experience of fundraising, marketing, and income generation 
• Demonstrable awareness of Gift Aid and the requirements for HMRC compliance 
• Experience of working in a not-for-profit environment 
• Good working knowledge and understanding of risk management
• Experience of being part of a project team

Teesside Hospice and Butterwick Hospice are looking for an ambitious, relationship driven Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships to lead and grow high value fundraising across both organisations at a defining moment in their future.

Salary: £49,984

Benefits: A generous benefits package including up to 36 days' annual leave (including bank holidays), flexible and hybrid working, pension options, free onsite parking, comprehensive wellbeing support, professional development and a range of lifestyle, retail and staff discounts

About the Hospices:

Following the decision to merge, this is a unique opportunity to bring together the strengths, relationships and reach of two established hospices, building an ambitious philanthropy and partnerships programme that will help more people across Tees Valley and County Durham access the very best end of life care.

Together, Teesside Hospice and Butterwick Hospice support more than 6,700 people every year, but they know there are many more patients and families who need their care.

The Role:

You'll lead the development of a joined up high value giving strategy across major donors, trusts and foundations, and corporate partnerships, building on the strengths of both hospices while respecting their individual identities and deep connections within their communities.

This is a strategic leadership role, but it's also very much about relationships. You'll be visible, connected and confident opening doors, personally cultivating significant supporters, developing new networks and creating opportunities for transformational, six figure and multi-year support.

What you'll be doing

• Lead an ambitious high value fundraising strategy across both hospices, driving sustainable income growth.
• Develop major giving, building a strong pipeline of high-net-worth supporters and personally cultivating key relationships.
• Provide strategic leadership across trusts and foundations, securing significant and multi-year funding.
• Grow corporate partnerships across the combined geography, including flagship and high value relationships.
• Lead, coach and develop the Trusts & Grants Manager and Partnerships Managers, creating a confident, high performing team.
• Work closely with senior leaders, trustees and volunteers to unlock networks and open doors to new opportunities.
• Build exceptional supporter journeys that deepen relationships and grow long term value.
• Bring teams and opportunities together across both hospices, sharing expertise and creating greater collective impact.

What we're looking for?

An experienced high value fundraiser with a strong track record in major giving, trusts and foundations and/or corporate partnerships.

• A brilliant relationship builder who can engage confidently with high-net-worth individuals, senior business leaders, funders, trustees and other influential stakeholders.
• Someone with the ambition and confidence to develop significant gifts, including six figure and multi-year opportunities.
• A strategic thinker who understands pipelines, forecasting and income growth, but never loses sight of the relationships behind the numbers.
• An inspiring and supportive leader who can develop people, build confidence and create a culture of accountability and ambition.
• A collaborative, thoughtful approach and the ability to bring people with you through a period of exciting organisational change.

You'll have the opportunity to build the strategy, develop the team and create the philanthropic and corporate relationships that will help ensure hospice care is there for more people and families, today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
