Full-time, permanent (flexible and hybrid working considered)

Rowcroft Hospice, Ella’s Gardens, Avenue Road, Torquay TQ2 5LS

As an independent charity at the heart of South Devon, Rowcroft Hospice provides expert care and support to local people with life-limiting illnesses, many of whom are facing the hardest times imaginable. Each year we support over 2,500 patients and their loved ones, with 80% of people cared for in their own homes, from Dartmouth to Dawlish and up onto Dartmoor. For patients whose complex needs cannot be met at home, we also provide care, support and specialist services in our 12-bedded Inpatient Unit in Torquay. We deliver our services free of charge to adults, helping to make every day the best day possible and enabling families to share precious moments together.

We would be unable to provide our essential end-of-life services without the generous support of our local community who fund the majority of our care.

As our Director of Marketing and Fundraising, you will be the purpose-driven commercial storyteller who brings our work to life — creating compelling campaigns, strengthening our voice and building meaningful connections that turn awareness into action and action into income.

This role is both strategic and hands-on. You’ll shape our brand, help define our future direction and share powerful stories that demonstrate impact and drive growth. Above all, you’ll make sure our brand connects us with communities, businesses, and partners — building the support we need to care for more people than ever before.

You’ll also guide a talented team, harness insight and creativity and show leadership in action by creating a visible and supportive culture that enables everyone to thrive.
