Making Every Day Count at St. Rocco’s Hospice

Behind every fundraising team is the care it can help make possible.

As our Head of Impact and Income, you’ll bring the ambition: turning the difference our hospice makes into a compelling reason to give, and that generosity into sustainable income for care in our community.

We’re looking for an ambitious, compassionate fundraising leader who combines strategic vision with the drive to deliver. If you’re excited by the opportunity to shape income growth, inspire a team and build relationships with real purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

Your opportunity to make a difference

This senior leadership role brings together fundraising strategy, supporter engagement and impact storytelling. Working closely with the Director of Commercial Development and colleagues across the hospice, you’ll connect our care and community priorities with an ambitious, evidence-led approach to fundraising. You’ll lead Fundraising Managers, staff and volunteers, giving them the clarity, support and accountability to turn plans into results.

• Shape sustainable growth: deliver and support a fundraising strategy that Fundraising Managers can be inspired and collaboratively deliver to, through KPI’s and objectives.
• Turn impact into inspiration: work with colleagues to bring together evidence, outcomes and stories that show supporters the difference their generosity makes.
• Build relationships that last: champion exceptional supporter care and deepen connections with donors, funders, businesses and community partners.
• Lead with purpose: develop your team, set clear objectives and create a positive, collaborative culture focused on delivery.
• Make insight count: use data, budgets, forecasts and performance measures to identify opportunities, improve results and manage risk.
• Protect trust: champion ethical, compliant fundraising and represent the hospice with integrity, compassion and pride.

What you’ll bring:

Significant senior experience in fundraising, income generation, supporter engagement or closely related charity leadership role, alongside a proven record of meeting or exceeding income targets across multiple fundraising streams. Experience of managing a multi-million-pound portfolio, developing strategies and budgets, and line managing managers is essential.

Just as importantly, you’ll know how to bring people with you. You’ll be a confident communicator and relationship-builder who can turn evidence into a persuasive case for support, balance commercial thinking with sensitivity, and combine strategic leadership with hands‑on delivery. Strong financial and analytical skills, knowledge of fundraising regulation and a commitment to excellent supporter care will underpin your approach.

Hospice, healthcare or bereavement-sector experience would be welcome, as would strategic experience in legacy, in‑memory, major donor or grants fundraising—but these are desirable, not essential.

Bring your ambition to a role with purpose

This is your opportunity to connect income with impact. Shaping how we inspire support, strengthen our long‑term sustainability and show what that support means for patients, families and carers. If you’re ready to lead with ambition and compassion, we’d love to hear from you.
