Description
Do you love working with people and building meaningful relationships? Are you an excellent communicator who thrives in a busy and varied role and takes pride in delivering exceptional supporter stewardship? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
We're looking for an organised and proactive individual to build and manage relationships with a portfolio of mid and high-value community supporters, primarily DIY (in aid of) fundraisers who organise their own fundraising events and activities, alongside other community fundraising audiences including Clubs & Groups, In Memory supporters and some patient families, including bereaved families. You'll inspire supporters to maximise their fundraising while ensuring they feel valued, recognised and supported throughout their journey.
No two days are the same. You'll work closely with other Senior Executives in the Community Fundraising team, colleagues from across the charity and the Senior Manager to deliver exceptional stewardship, develop new supporter experiences and collaborate on projects that help some of our most committed fundraisers have the biggest possible impact for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
