Bring Communities Together to Make a Lasting Difference

Do you thrive on connecting with people and inspiring others to take action? Are you looking for a role where every event, conversation, and idea helps make a real impact?

At Prospect Hospice, we’re looking for a Community Fundraiser to build meaningful relationships across Swindon. From local events and charity challenges to community partnerships and fundraising initiatives, you’ll bring people together to support our mission of delivering outstanding, compassionate end‑of‑life care for everyone who needs it.

Why Join Us?

Since 1980, Prospect Hospice has provided a dedicated end‑of‑life care service for people living in Swindon, Marlborough, and north‑east Wiltshire. We bring care, comfort, and confidence around the clock, every day of the year.

Our aim is to provide excellent, personalised, and compassionate care for everyone in our community who is affected by a life‑limiting illness. We work in close partnership with other organisations specifically with local health and social care professionals as well as local people. Working within our community allows us to lead, provide, and influence care so that anyone affected by a life‑limiting illness has access to the best possible support when and wherever they need it.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Community Fundraiser, you’ll inspire individuals, community groups, and local businesses to raise vital funds that support patients and families facing life‑limiting illness.

You’ll plan, promote, and deliver a range of community fundraising initiatives, from local events to major challenge activities such as the London Landmarks, Swindon Half, and Cycle Challenge.

Building meaningful relationships will be at the heart of your work, as you engage supporters, manage budgets, and co‑ordinate logistics to deliver memorable, impactful events that meet fundraising goals.

You’ll also lead key annual initiatives like the Christmas Tree Collection, ensuring every element runs smoothly and achieves its targets.

Additionally, you will :

• Represent us at events and meetings as a passionate ambassador
• Collaborate with communications teams to promote events and share inspiring stories
• Ensure compliance with all fundraising, health and safety, and safeguarding standards

What You’ll Bring

• Experience building relationships with diverse groups and individuals
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage a varied workload
• Excellent communication and public speaking skills
• A proactive and innovative approach to fundraising and supporter engagement
• The flexibility for some evening and weekend work to attend events and meetings
• A full, valid driving licence and access to a vehicle

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all those we support. As part of our SAFER recruitment processes, offers of employment will be subject to thorough checks, which may include a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, satisfactory references, online and social media checks and verification of qualifications. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to adhere to our safeguarding policies and procedures at all times.

What We Offer

• 27 days annual leave entitlement (plus bank holidays)
• Generous contributory pension scheme and life assurance
• Discounts with local retailers, gyms and service providers including Blue Light Discount Card
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Family‑friendly policies and practices
• Free on‑site parking

Join Us

This is a rewarding opportunity for a proactive and relationship‑driven individual with excellent communication and organisational skills to join our compassionate organisation.

Few roles can offer such a powerful sense of purpose; every conversation you start, and every event you deliver, will help ensure local families receive outstanding, personalised end‑of‑life care, giving you the rare privilege of knowing your work makes a lasting difference when its needed most.
