Job description

You’ve spent your career caring for people. Now, you can help save lives in a different way.

At Charity Link, we work with Breast Cancer Now, the UK’s leading breast cancer research and support charity, to fund life-saving breakthroughs and vital care. We’re now looking for caring, compassionate people from healthcare and support roles to bring their empathy and communication skills to our fundraising team.

If you’ve worked in nursing, healthcare, care work, social work, therapy, support roles or volunteering, your experience is exactly what we’re looking for.

Why fundraising?
You’ll still be helping people – but in a new and powerful way. As a Fundraiser, you’ll speak to members of the public at shopping centres, shows, garden centres, and events, inspiring them to give regularly to a cause that touches so many lives.

You don’t need fundraising experience – just the ability to connect, communicate, and care.

We offer:

️ £25.4K guaranteed salary + realistic OTE of £45K
️ Award-winning training – we’ll set you up for success
️ Healthcare plan (worth up to £900 per year)
️ Death-in-service benefit (2x salary)
️ Generous referral bonuses
️ Pension & long service awards
️ Retail discounts (30,000+ stores)
️ Career progression – become a coach, leader, or campaign manager

This role is for you if:

You’ve worked in a healthcare, care, or people-facing role
You’re confident, compassionate, and great with people
You want a career that still makes a difference
You’re looking for something new, with support, purpose and progression
You can work full-time or part-time hours and some weekends

What our team says:

“After working in a care home for 10 years, I wanted a role that still had meaning. Fundraising gave me that – and more. I’m still helping people every day.”
– Priya, Fundraiser

“I thought I’d miss nursing. But this team, this cause, and the people I meet every day – it’s life-changing work.”
– Tom, Former Nurse turned Fundraiser

You already care. Now, you can help save lives in a new way.

If you’re ready to turn your empathy into action, we’d love to meet you.
