We're looking for an enthusiastic Community Fundraiser to join our team and inspire local people, schools, community groups and businesses to support hospice care across eastern Hertfordshire.
This is more than a fundraising role – it's an opportunity to become a familiar face in your community, building lasting relationships, celebrating incredible acts of generosity, and helping ensure more local families receive outstanding hospice care when they need it most.
No two days are the same as a Community Fundraiser. One day you could be cheering on a local running club raising money in memory of a loved one, the next you're helping a school launch its first charity partnership, speaking to a local business about a fundraising challenge, or supporting volunteers at one of our community events.
You'll have the opportunity to meet inspiring people from all walks of life, working alongside schools, faith groups, community organisations, volunteers and local businesses to help turn great ideas into successful fundraising activities.
Working collaboratively with colleagues across the hospice, you'll:
- Develop and deliver inspiring community fundraising plans
- Build and nurture long-term relationships with supporters, volunteers and local organisations
- Empower individuals and groups to achieve their fundraising goals through excellent support and guidance
- Represent the hospice at community events, networking opportunities and speaking engagements, sharing the impact of our care and encouraging others to get involved
- Deliver outstanding supporter experiences that encourage long-term engagement and loyalty
You're someone who naturally connects with people. You enjoy building relationships, spotting opportunities and inspiring others to get involved. You'll be confident talking to a wide range of audiences, organised enough to juggle multiple projects, and motivated by achieving meaningful results.
Whether your background is in fundraising, community engagement, volunteering or another relationship-focused role, you'll understand the importance of providing exceptional supporter experiences while helping to grow income for an important cause.
You'll also bring:
- Experience in community fundraising, volunteer management or another relationship-focused role
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, both written and verbal
- Strong planning and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple activities successfully
- An understanding of the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Fundraising Practice
- A positive, proactive approach and flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends
- A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle
- A supportive, values-led team environment
- The chance to make a real impact in your local community
- Ongoing professional development and training
- The satisfaction of knowing your work helps provide compassionate end-of-life care for local families
- 27 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Pension and life assurance schemes
- Employee Assistance Programme for health and wellbeing support
- Cycle to work scheme
- Health Service Discounts
- Refer a friend bonus
