Looking for a role where your work truly makes a difference?
Are you a people person who loves building meaningful relationships and making a real difference?
At Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw Children’s Hospice, you’ll have the opportunity to combine your relationship-building skills with a rewarding career that directly supports local families across Cumbria.
Due to relocation of the current postholder, we are able to offer an exciting opportunity for the right person to join our team. We’re looking for a proactive and compassionate Relationship Fundraiser to help grow our fundraising programmes. Whether your background is in fundraising, sales, marketing, account management or customer relationships, we’d love to hear from you.
This is a role for someone who enjoys connecting with people, understanding what motivates them, and creating exceptional experiences that inspire long-term support. You’ll nurture relationships with donors, develop engaging campaigns, share the impact of supporters’ generosity and help secure the income that enables our hospice services to continue caring for local people when they need us most.
In return, you’ll join a supportive, values-driven team where collaboration, kindness and innovation are at the heart of everything we do. As one of Cumbria’s most respected charities, we’re passionate about our people and committed to helping our staff grow and thrive.

- An excellent communicator and relationship builder
- Compassionate, empathetic and emotionally intelligent
- Self-motivated, organised and driven to achieve results
- Confident networking and representing the hospice in the community
- Passionate about making a difference to local families
Fundraising experience is welcome but not essential. If you’ve successfully managed client, customer or stakeholder relationships and want a career with purpose, we’d love to hear from you.
