Working for a leading cancer charity as their brand-new Regional Fundraiser, you'll help schools, community groups, individual volunteers and local businesses to fund world-class research. Through award-winning, high-impact campaigns, you'll challenge the cause, improve the care and find the cure for cancer.

About the charity
The region also suffers from extreme social-deprivation and health inequalities which, when combined, lead to a lower-than-average life-expectancy and poorer quality of life for our communities.
Community fundraising is an important vehicle to challenge this - by raising money and awareness.
This role will cover North Manchester up to Lancashire - you'll be homebased with travel across the patch to meet supporters.
What will I be fundraising for?
Recent fundable projects include a groundbreaking annual Regional Report on cancer and the innovative Lab-Coat Learning education programme for the region's schools.
You'll act as the face of the charity out in the community, spreading the word about how fundraising can drive positive change. You'll develop relationships with volunteer fundraisers, community groups and local businesses, encouraging and motivating them to fundraise.
You'll deliver interactive presentations, activities and outreach sessions at schools and volunteer groups, offering support, advice and guidance on how people can supercharge their fundraising.
You join a passionate and well-established fundraising team, who genuinely care about and support one another.
Key attributes we're looking for in our new Regional Fundraiser:
Experience working in a face-to-face role, either fundraising, sales, account or volunteer management.
Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
Flexibility to attend fundraising events, including some evenings and weekends.
Ability to travel independently across the North Manchester and Lancashire.
