Offer description

Are you looking for an opportunity where you can truly make a difference? Do you thrive in a role where every day brings something new, and your energy and enthusiasm can have a real impact? If so, this could be the perfect role for you — because the difference can be you. About us: Princess Alice Hospice is one of the top ten adult hospices in the UK, providing specialist palliative care and support to a community of more than a million people living in Surrey, South West London and Middlesex. We need to raise over £11.5 million a year to provide our free palliative and end of life care services through fundraising, retail operations, donations and legacies. About the role: We’re thrilled to offer a fantastic opportunity to join our Fundraising Team in a temporary role supporting our Christmas events programme. This is a hands-on role that plays a pivotal part in helping deliver our festive calendar, with a particular focus on our flagship event – the Santa Fun Run – which aims to raise an incredible £70,000. You will be involved in researching and ordering stock, liaising with suppliers, loading and driving a small van, putting up banners, and distributing leaflets to businesses and organisations across our care area. You’ll work closely with community fundraisers to leaflet shops and cafés in their local areas and engage with staff across the organisation to promote the event. You’ll also update briefing documents, call supporters to talk about the event and help them set up fundraising pages, and support their fundraising efforts. In addition, you’ll liaise with the Volunteering Team to recruit and brief volunteers and attend all key events on 30 November, 7 December, and 14 December. On event days, you’ll be there to help set up and ensure everything runs smoothly. You’ll also assist with wider marketing aspects of event management and delivery, such as preparing supporting literature and providing administrative support. About you: We’re looking for someone who is passionate about event planning and community engagement, highly organised, a strong administrator, and a real team player. You’ll bring energy, enthusiasm, and festive spirit to everything you do. You’ll be helping put the fun into our Santa Fun Run, so expect to find yourself dressed as Santa or an Elf, spreading cheer around the Hospice and out in the community to get people excited and signed up for the most joyful event of the year. You’ll support the Events Lead with planning and logistics, motivate participants, and engage the community. You’ll assist with event setup and delivery, which includes lifting boxes, erecting gazebos, and packing vans. A full UK driving licence is essential, as you’ll be required to drive a van. Flexibility is key, as the role may involve working evenings and weekends. This role is perfect for someone looking to gain hands-on experience in charity events, community fundraising, and seasonal campaigns. If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference we’d love to hear from you – even if you’re not sure you meet every requirement of the role. At Princess Alice Hospice we are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We are fully committed to equality of opportunities, and we warmly welcome applications from all backgrounds and cultures. We are signed up to the Disability Confident scheme and we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy. We are a place where you can be you. Please visit our Privacy Notices section to understand and be aware of how we use the data you provide to us. All of our vacancies except from retail are subject to a relevant DBS check.
