About Trinity and Brian House Hospice
Trinity and Brian House Hospice believe in focusing on the positives within palliative care, providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness to improve quality of life for them and their loved ones. They do this through recognising that each person has individual needs and caters to these needs through offering their services in the hospice, the hospital, at home, or residential care home.
About the Role
The Business Development Officer will work closely with the Corporate and Community Fundraising Manager to secure new relationships across the Fylde Coast, developing a pipeline of sustainable income.
