About the Hospice
Set in the tranquil grounds of Willen Lake, Willen Hospice is the leading provider of specialist palliative care within the Milton Keynes area.
We offer 24 hour / seven days a week palliative care to people who have advanced disease,
caring for people in our Inpatient Unit which accommodates 15 patients and the local community. Our person-centred care is delivered with compassion and respect for people’s wishes. We have an expanding Therapeutic & Wellbeing service offering Psychological Wellbeing, Social Care, Physiotherapy, Occupational and Complementary Therapy. Our dedicated Business Development teams and retail portfolio of shops raise vital funds to deliver this care.
About the Role
An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a Community & Events Fundraiser to join our team.
Reporting to the Community Fundraising and Events Manager, you will work as part of a team to generate vital income through professional community stewardship and organising fundraising events and activity in a role where no two days are the same!
You will support the local community, our supporters and volunteers, nurturing relationships and working with key partners and stakeholders to maximise income generation opportunities, attending Hospice run and community organised events.
You will be joining a friendly team who will support you and help you to develop your skills.
To be successful, you will be a flexible team player, with some previous fundraising experience, ideally within a community setting. You will be available to work evenings and weekends, be a good organiser, have excellent customer service skills and an outgoing, friendly personality with a passion for fun and success.
You will need to be physically fit and able to safely move and handle event equipment, some of which is heavy. You will also need a driving licence (category B+E), access to a vehicle and be over 25 (an insurance requirement to drive the Hospice van).
Hours: 35 hours per week or part time job share (including some weekends and evenings)
Salary: £25,440 per annum (salary will be pro rata for part time hours)
