Head of Fundraising

Can you lead a team to secure the funds to enable St Nicholas Hospice Care, to provide compassionate, specialist end of life care for patients whilst supporting their families and carers? Based in Bury St Edmunds, we offer services to the communities across West Suffolk and Thetford. Whilst we might not be able to add days into life we aim to put life into days and make every moment count.

At an exciting time of expansion – our bed capacity recently increased - we are seeking a dynamic, skilled, experienced and knowledgeable person to inspire and lead our passionate and successful fundraising team which is part of the Income Generation Directorate. This key leadership role is vital, building on current success whilst driving the expansion and growth of our fundraising. Working as part of our Leadership Team, the successful candidate will help deliver our organisational strategy though a period of change enabling us to continue to provide incredible care to those who need it in these challenging times.

The person we are looking for will have considerable experience in fundraising across a range of income streams and a proven track record of achieving fundraising growth and delivering income to ambitious targets. They will have a robust understanding of budget setting and management as well as be ready to expand and grow the team further as they will be responsible for developing and executing a wide-ranging fundraising strategy. To do this, they will build stronger relationships with supporters, donors and other stakeholders and oversee activities that deliver income from diverse fundraising streams.

This is an excellent opportunity to join and work for a well-respected regional charity and make a real impact to the communities we serve. If you're a motivated, enthusiastic and inspirational fundraising leader with a proven track record and looking to make a real difference to people's lives, we'd love to hear from you!
