If you thrive in a busy environment, enjoy coordinating moving parts, and take pride in delivering work to a high standard, this could be the ideal next step for you.

As our Fundraising Assistant (Events & Community), you’ll be at the heart of supporting imaginative, meaningful and well‑run events that truly bring people together. Playing an integral part of the supporter journey — from planning the details to coordinating volunteers and supporting our fantastic local fundraisers — you’ll help create moments that matter and ensure every supporter feels valued from their first contact through to their thank‑you.

Working alongside colleagues and volunteers, you’ll help share inspiring stories, support the delivery of engaging activities, and play a part in connecting people to a cause that truly matters. Through each conversation, task and event you support, you’ll be contributing to St Nicholas Hospice Care’s mission to provide compassionate care to nearly 2,000 people each year.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in providing reliable, well‑organised administrative support. One day you might be assisting colleagues with the logistics for a flagship event; the next, helping a community group with the practical steps needed to develop their fundraising idea. You’ll play a supportive role in building relationships, coordinating information, and helping to keep tasks moving smoothly — bringing your calm, friendly approach to every interaction.

You’ll be joining a supportive, enthusiastic fundraising team where your ideas are welcome, your development is encouraged, and your work genuinely makes a difference. You’ll see the impact of what you help deliver — in the smiles, stories and shared moments created at each event.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong organisational and administrative skills
• A friendly, confident communication style
• A positive attitude with the ability to stay motivated under pressure
• A passion for teamwork and working with your local community
• Good IT skills and great attention to detail

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a supportive fundraising team, helping to deliver meaningful events and activities that raise vital funds—and celebrating the impact you help create every day.

• Opportunity for some home working
