This is an exciting new role designed to create a sustainable income stream, strengthen corporate relationships, and take advantage of opportunities generated by fundraising and marketing activities. With achievable targets focused on securing sponsorship for key publications, materials and initiatives, the postholder will play an important part in supporting the hospice’s long‑term ambition to grow voluntary and commercial income beyond traditional fundraising streams.
