Challenge events volunteer jobs

At Pilgrims Hospices, clinical volunteers are a vital part of how we care for patients and families. Working alongside our clinical teams, they support everything from ward-based care to therapy services, bereavement groups and community programmes. Their time, compassion and presence help shape the experience of care in very real and meaningful ways.

We are now looking for a Clinical Volunteer Lead to provide leadership to this work across our services.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a large and diverse group of clinical volunteers, working across inpatient, therapy, psychosocial and community settings. You will ensure volunteers are well supported, appropriately trained and able to make a meaningful contribution, while working closely with clinical teams to maintain a consistent and effective approach across the organisation.

This is not a desk-based role. It is a visible, hands-on leadership position, working alongside teams and volunteers in practice, building relationships, supporting people day to day and understanding what is happening across services.

It’s an exciting time to be joining Pilgrims Hospices, with a clear focus on strengthening how we support our workforce and deliver high quality, person-centred care. This role offers the opportunity to make a real difference, both in the experience of patients and families, and in how we work across services.

We are looking for someone who brings clinical credibility and strong relational leadership skills, and who is confident working across teams, supporting others and leading through presence, judgement and practical involvement.

About working for us

About us  

We are Pancreatic Cancer UK. We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease.

Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So we do more.

We bring more break throughs through research, more change through campaigning and more support through our expert nurses.

We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.

Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.

Underpinning this vision are our three values: 

• Courage
• Compassion
• Community

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values. 

At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported.  We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices. 

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.

Safeguarding

PCUK is committed to safe and fair recruitment processes that safeguard and protect those we work with, support and serve. We make sure all our staff are selected, vetted (DBS/Criminal record checks where appropriate), trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective and compassionate care. Where we work with volunteers, we extend the same support in order to ensure that they are working within our ethos and standards.

We are currently working hybrid with a minimum of 2-3 days in the office.

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away.

We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward.

We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable.

For 50 years, SportsAid has been backing the next generation of athletes.

But we're only just getting started.

As we launch our new organisational strategy and celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're entering an exciting new chapter—one that will see us grow our impact, strengthen lifelong relationships with athletes and supporters, and build one of the UK's most engaged sporting communities.

We're looking for an ambitious and experienced fundraising leader to help make that happen.

Our Vision

From potential to personal best – whatever your story.

We want a future where talented athletes can pursue their ambitions, whatever their background, circumstances or income.

A future where talent is not lost because life gets in the way, and where support comes early, consistently and without conditions.

Our Mission

SportsAid exists to champion and support the next generation of athletes to fulfil their potential in sport and in life.

We invest early. We back ambition. We bring together partners, supporters and alumni to provide financial help, trusted guidance and belief—particularly at the moments when staying in sport becomes hardest.

For five decades, we have stood alongside athletes when success was uncertain and outcomes were unknown. Today, our ambition goes further.

We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. That's why we're strengthening support for athletes and families, amplifying athlete voices, building lifelong communities of athletes and alumni, and working with partners to create a sporting system where potential—not background—shapes opportunity.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a community fundraising role.

You'll lead the development of SportsAid's Community Fundraising & Engagement programme at a pivotal moment in our history, helping shape the future of one of the UK's most respected sports charities.

Working closely with the Head of Fundraising and Communications and as part of an ambitious leadership team, you'll develop and deliver a bold community fundraising strategy, grow sustainable unrestricted income and create outstanding supporter experiences that inspire people to back the next generation.

You'll also provide strategic leadership for our growing alumni engagement programme, ensuring former SportsAid athletes remain connected through mentoring, advocacy, storytelling, volunteering and fundraising.

Whether it's launching new fundraising products, growing challenge events, building partnerships with schools, clubs and communities, or developing innovative supporter journeys, you'll have the freedom to build something with lasting impact.

About You

You're someone who enjoys creating as much as delivering.

You combine strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach and know that exceptional fundraising is built on exceptional relationships.

You may currently be leading community fundraising, supporter engagement or individual giving within a charity and be looking for the opportunity to shape a programme with genuine national potential.

You'll bring:

· Significant experience developing successful community fundraising or supporter engagement programmes.

· A track record of growing sustainable income and building long-term supporter relationships.

· Experience leading people, developing strategy and delivering results.

· Strong commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset.

· Excellent relationship-building, influencing and communication skills.

· A passion for creating outstanding supporter experiences.

Most importantly, you'll be excited by the opportunity to build, innovate and help shape the future of SportsAid.

Why Join SportsAid?

There has never been a more exciting time to join us.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're investing in ambitious plans to expand our fundraising, strengthen lifelong relationships with athletes and supporters, and increase our impact across the UK.

You'll join an ambitious, collaborative and values-led organisation with an engaged Board, a supportive leadership team and colleagues who genuinely care about our mission.

We offer:

· Salary of £50,000–£55,000 (pro rata if 0.8 FTE)

· Home-based or hybrid working

· Flexible working arrangements

· Private healthcare

· Pension contribution

· Cycle to Work Scheme

· Season ticket loan
