You’ll work closely with colleagues across the team and wider hospice team to identify opportunities to further engage supporters in our work and show them the difference their support makes. This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled and experienced fundraiser to combine hands-on fundraising and supporter development with developing and influencing strategy and growth.
