Corporate fundraising manager jobs

Are you brilliant at establishing and developing relationships, and want to use your skills to support a charity which helps people across the Fylde coast live their lives to the full and live well to the very end?

Business Development Officer
Salary: £30,000 - £33,000 per annum.
Contract: Permanent, full-time, 37 hours per week, 0.8 considered.
Location: Blackpool; with a mixture of being on site, out and about meeting potential partners/networking. There will also be the opportunity to work from home 1-2 days per week.
Benefits: Stand out holiday allowance of 38 days including bank holidays as well as a host of other great benefits including free onsite parking, subsidised onsite canteen, time off in lieu, access to training and development opportunities, investment in your wellbeing, and eligibility for NHS Blue Light Care.

Trinity and Brian House Hospice believe in focusing on the positives within palliative care, providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness to improve quality of life for them and their loved ones. They do this through recognising that each person has individual needs and caters to these needs through offering their services in the hospice, the hospital, at home, or residential care home.

About the Role

The Business Development Officer will work closely with the Corporate and Community Fundraising Manager to secure new relationships across the Fylde Coat, developing a pipeline of sustainable income. Corporate is a very well-established income stream within the fundraising team, but there's lots of opportunity to grow by building on the brilliant 40+ year reputation of donor care and fundraising products.

Trinity is preparing for its second large-scale public art trail, which will take place in 2028. This is such an exciting opportunity for the new Business Development Officer who'll play a key role in sponsorship recruitment, corporate stewardship, business engagement as well as project planning and delivery. This is expected to become one of the most significant corporate fundraising and sponsorship opportunities over the coming years and offers considerable scope for visibility and impact

About You

This role would suit a natural relationship builder with a talent for finding creative ways to connect with corporate supporters while attracting new businesses opportunities. You may already work in a corporate fundraising, business development or sales role, but the hospices also open to someone with experience in partnerships, marketing, recruitment or professional services.

What's important is that you'll have a track record of meeting financial targets and balancing a demanding workload with competing deadlines. We'd love to see applications from people who are creative and come with a growth mindset, who are looking to increase their understanding of fundraising and build on the skills they already have.

This role requires a full driving licence with access to a car as you will be spending time out and about across the region as well as being on site at the hospice.

If this role sparks your interest, please send a copy of your profile or CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the first step.

Deadline: 9am Monday 27^th July
