We are looking for a part time fundraiser.  This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to join our Harrogate team and help us build our income to support and sustain the vital work we fund in Malawi.  

It is a broad and varied job where you can really make your mark. The role will suit self-motivated, enthusiastic individual who is well organised, a great communicator and passionate about international development.

As a fundraiser, you can expect to be creating and delivering fundraising programmes to achieve the business plan.  You will be involved in the full remit of our fundraising operation and have responsibilities for managing key income streams.

To contribute to our team you will need a can do attitude and the willingness to roll up your sleeves and jump right in.  The position is based in our small office in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Are you looking for a fundraising role?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-loved, respected, and ambitious regional charity. Severn Hospice is looking to recruit an Area Fundraiser to cover Telford and the east of their catchment area.

As part of a team that raises £7 million per year to support people living with incurable illnesses, you will join the busy Fundraising department to engage with and encourage the local communities that Severn Hospice serves.

As an ambassador for the charity, you will act as a catalyst for willing supporters to turn their good intentions into much-needed funds to ensure the hospice is there for patients when they need it most.

This is not a job for a beginner – the role requires someone with demonstrable experience in professional fundraising.

If you have excellent interpersonal, organisational and communication skills and are IT literate as well as having a proven track record in a similar fundraising role, we would love to hear from you.

Are you highly proactive, experienced and confident events organiser looking to make a difference working on an exciting programme of fundraising events for a well-loved local charity?

The Income Generation and Communications team currently raises £4 million a year to support the work of Bolton Hospice. Our consultant-led team of doctors, nurses and other professional staff provide expert care and support for local people with terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their families, in the hospice and at home. We not only take care of patients' physical needs, we consider their emotional, spiritual and social needs too. And we support families and close friends, both during illness and in bereavement.

We care for patients throughout their illness, helping to improve their wellbeing and quality of life. We also provide compassionate, dedicated and dignified care for patients at the end of their life. As our services and reach increase, so does our income target, so the successful candidate will build on our previous fundraising success and ultimately help us reach more of the people in Bolton who need us.

The Role:

You will lead on the planning and delivery of the hospice’s fundraising events and engage and inspire our community of supporters. You’ll be supported by the Fundraising Manager to adapt and grow our existing events portfolio as well generate new event ideas.  You will need to create intelligent and well thought out plans and contingencies.

Based within the busy fundraising team, the role involves liaising with event participants, attendees and external stakeholders including VIPs.  You’ll be responsible for supporting and managing a large number of volunteers, both at events and to assist with admin. You’ll need to be able to keep your cool under pressure in order to manage competing demands for your time and respond quickly to problem solve as issues arise.

The role also requires some flexibility in order to support other members of the team with their income streams and vice versa as and when required and always in a supporter-centred way.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to make a real impact, as you will have autonomy over your own events programme, yet you’ll still be able to work flexibly within the team in order to develop your skills and ensure the best possible outcomes for both the hospice and your own development.

What you need:

An experienced event planner, you’ll be highly organised in order to develop thorough plans, juggle competing priorities and problem solve effectively.  You’ll need to be creative and flexible in order to continually adapt to the changing fundraising climate and evolve the hospice’s fundraising events programme as necessary.

You will be an inspiring and enthusiastic communicator and relationship-builder and be passionate about the work of Bolton Hospice and the difference you can make. You’ll be able to use your talents to negotiate and influence stakeholders when required.

Proactive and dynamic, you’ll be able to manage an ongoing calendar of events whilst constantly looking at ways to improve. Experience of working for a charity would be an advantage, but not essential.

Why Bolton Hospice?

You will be working within a friendly and committed team in modern, open plan offices (with flexible working requests, including home working, considered). Working together with the fundraising team and reporting directly to the Fundraising Manager, you’ll have ownership of the Hospice’s events programme and the autonomy to use your skills to make a real impact. We offer our employees an attractive benefits package, including generous annual leave (starting at 35 days a year including bank holidays), a contributory stakeholder pension scheme, life assurance, membership of a healthcare cash plan and excellent training opportunities.
