About the Team:
We are seeking a proactive and ambitious Philanthropy Officer to join our team at Princess Alice Hospice. This is an exciting time to join us as we embark on a new programme of transformational change, presenting numerous opportunities to create impactful relationships with individual supporters to significantly boost our income.
The successful candidate will report to the Head of Philanthropy and pay a pivotal role in delivering and expanding our Major Gift programme, as part of our busy and highly successful fundraising team which raises over £3 million annually. This is a vital contribution to the £11.5 million needed each year to provide our free, high-quality care to our local communities.
About the role:
This role will work directly to secure income from individual supporters contributing £5,000 or more annually. Working independently and in partnership with the Head of Philanthropy, Trust and Foundation Lead and other senior stakeholders, the Philanthropy Officer will drive donor engagement and development, through focused relationship management, impactful communication and innovative stewardship.
Key responsibilities include collaborating across the Philanthropy team, with fundraising colleagues, and hospice networks to build a robust prospect pipeline and design and implement personalised supporter journeys that track and monitor progress, deepen relationships and secure income.
This role will also be responsible for engagement and communication activities to support the Philanthropy programme, including event management, group communications and appeals.
Candidates who can demonstrate excellent writing, relationship and stakeholder management in other sectors will also be considered.
About you:
You are a dedicated and skilled professional with a strong background in fundraising or a related field. Your ability to develop and manage relationships, coupled with your excellent writing and budgeting skills, makes you an ideal fit for this role. You are proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to our mission. Your work will be crucial in securing the funds needed to support our services.
