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.
About The Role
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
