We welcome applications from those interested in joining the charity sector for the first time as well as those who already have experience of working at a charity. You may have experience in a similar fundraising role, customer services, reception, or sales role. This role is the centre point of our fundraising team so we are looking for someone who enjoys talking to people, helping with queries, and would relish the opportunity to grow our fundraising through managing our collection tin volunteers and the collecting tins across our county – no two days are the same so thinking on your toes and using your own initiative are both essential skills. The Fundraising Officer is a support to the whole fundraising team and the first point of call for our supporters.

Customer service skills are essential in this role as by providing the very best customer service to our supporters and giving them a positive experience, you will connect, build, and retain relationships and support. We are also looking for someone with great administrative skills to manage a wide variety of tasks such as writing thank you letters, replying to emails, keeping our database updated, and answering telephone queries.

You must be a confident and friendly character who’s passionate about going the extra mile for the organisation. You will work closely with the team, our wider colleagues, volunteers, and the community to be able to make a real difference to the charity and ultimately our patients and their loved ones.

Closing date: 31st January
