Making Every Day Count at St. Rocco’s Hospice

Can you spot an opportunity, open the right doors and turn a compelling conversation into a lasting partnership? Bring your commercial drive to our hospice and help grow the income that supports our work.

We’re looking for a commercially astute Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager who combines relationship-building flair with the discipline to deliver measurable results. You’ll lead our corporate partnerships portfolio, develop major donor opportunities and help turn business ambition and philanthropic commitment into sustainable support.

Your opportunity to make a difference

This is a role for someone who wants to own the opportunity, not simply manage activity. With budget accountability for corporate partnerships, you’ll shape the pipeline, lead pitches and negotiations, and grow relationships that deliver value for both our partners and the hospice. Alongside the Philanthropy Fundraiser, whom you’ll line-manage and coach, you’ll build major donor relationships and support an effective grants and trusts programme.

• Acquire and grow partnerships: identify prospects, create tailored propositions and secure new, renewed and expanded corporate support.
• Deliver commercial results: own budgets, forecasts, income, costs and return on investment, using insight to focus on the strongest opportunities.
• Build lasting donor relationships: create multi year partnerships and work with the Philanthropy Fundraiser to cultivate major donors and deliver thoughtful stewardship.
• Lead with clarity: support the Philanthropy Fundraiser and oversee grants and trusts activity, with day-to-day delivery managed through that role.
• Make our impact visible: collaborate with Marketing and Communications on compelling campaigns, proposals and LinkedIn activity that generates leads and strengthen engagement.
• Represent us with integrity: connect confidently with businesses, donors and funders, keeping ethical fundraising and our values at the heart of every opportunity.

What you’ll bring:

You’ll have a demonstrable track record of securing and growing income through corporate partnerships, philanthropy or a closely related commercial fundraising discipline. Confident with budgets, forecasts and financial performance, you’ll know how to build a qualified pipeline and convert opportunities into sustainable income.

You’ll be persuasive in a pitch, credible with senior stakeholders and committed to looking after relationships long after support is secured. Bringing an experience of line management, coaching or leading others is beneficial; an understanding of major donors, grants and trusts; and sound knowledge of ethical fundraising, data protection and due diligence. Above all, you’ll combine ambition with integrity and a collaborative approach.

Put your commercial skills to work for a purpose

If you’re motivated by winning meaningful support, building long-term value and seeing the purpose behind the numbers, we’d love to hear from you.
