VACANCIES

Fundraiser

At Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw, every walk, run, climb and challenge represents something deeply personal. Behind every fundraising event is someone choosing to give their time, energy and determination so that local families can receive compassionate care when they need it most.

We’re looking for a warm, organised and enthusiastic Fundraiser to join our Income Generation team, with a focus on event delivery and exceptional stewardship of challenge fundraisers.

About the Role 

In this varied and rewarding role, you’ll:

  • Lead the planning and delivery of a programme of fundraising events – from small community activities to large scale and challenge events
  • Be the key point of contact for our challenge fundraisers, supporting them before, during and after their events
  • Build meaningful, long term relationships that make supporters feel valued, inspired and proud to fundraise for us
  • Work closely with colleagues in Fundraising and Marketing to share stories, celebrate success and grow engagement
  • See the real impact of your work every day, knowing the funds you help raise directly support adults, children and families across our community

Who we’re looking for

You don’t have to come from hospice fundraising – what matters most is that you:

  • Enjoy delivering events and supporting people who are fundraising for a cause they care about
  • Have strong communication and relationship building skills
  • Are organised, proactive and comfortable juggling multiple priorities
  • Care about doing things well – and making people feel genuinely appreciated

If you love seeing plans come to life, helping others succeed, and being part of something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.

For full details, please refer to the job description and person specification.

Why work with us?

As well as the opportunity to do work that truly matters, we offer:

  • Free, confidential access to our Employee Assistant Programme
  • Free on-site parking
  • Life insurance for all staff working regular hours
  • Discounted local gym membership
  • Access to discount schemes for high street retailers and more

Ready to Join Us?

Apply today and help us ensure we can continue to provide the very best care to local families when they need us most.
