Working across the department, you will take ownership for the delivery of high-quality data processing, ensuring systems capture the right data about supporters so the charity can plan insight-led activities to raise the voluntary income needed for The Hospice Charity Partnership (HCP) to achieve its goals.

Reporting directly to the Head of Fundraising Partnerships & Supporter Experience one of your main objectives will be to collect & analyse data to understand who our supporters are and how we can enhance and maximise income and engagement utilising this information.

The ideal candidate will have substantial experience of managing and working with fundraising databases, good analytical skills, attention to detail and problem solving, as well as the ability to interpret information and quickly assimilate data and spot inconsistencies/patterns. Significant experience of working in a fundraising setting directly supporting donors and having a comprehensive understanding of the supporter journey and related processes would be an advantage, as well as a thorough understanding of data protection and confidentiality in the context of fundraising and finance.

If you have the skills and expertise and want to make a difference to people living with a life-limiting illness, this could be the role for you.

We do not have a sponsor’s licence and are unable to support Visa applications.

Candidates can be put off applying for a job when they have caring responsibilities and may not think they can achieve the flexibility they need. We are keen to hear from you, and whilst we can’t accommodate every flexible working request, we’ll try to find a practical solution.
