An exciting opportunity has arisen to join HaltonHaven Hospice as one of our Fundraising Managers, leading our fundraising team to achieve ambitious targets through a diverse portfolio of income streams.
We are looking for an experienced fundraiser who can develop and grow our income streams, including running successful events and campaigns, building and maintaining relationships with corporate partners, and working closely with our community supporters and organisations. You will jointly manage our fundraising team and support them to deliver targets, provide excellent stewardship, and raise awareness of our work in the local community.
Demonstrable experience of event management and working with budgets and financial targets is essential, as is the ability to confidently communicate with stakeholders at all levels. Previous experience of leading a team and managing volunteers would be desirable but not essential. You must have a positive attitude, be highly motivated, enthusiastic, and friendly.
We offer a hybrid working arrangement with your main place of work at our main hospice site in Murdishaw, Runcorn, with the expectation that you are able to travel to attend events and meetings across Halton.
Benefits include company pension, free parking, health care scheme, excellent training and development courses, generous annual leave, additional long service annual leave entitlement, and discounted meals.
