This role is for someone with previous experience in fundraising (ideally 3-5 years) within a Charity, with a proven track record of delivering on income targets and proactively generating fundraising leads and ideas.

The Senior Fundraiser will work closely with other members of the hospital charity and will be responsible for delivering demanding fundraising targets from corporate and community fundraising groups both inside and outside the hospital.
