Job description

Blood Cancer UK is looking for an insightful and proactive Prospect Researcher to play a key role in driving our high-value fundraising pipeline. You will uncover opportunities, provide actionable insights, and support fundraisers in building meaningful, informed relationships that help deliver transformational impact. The role also involves network mapping, monitoring philanthropy trends, and using digital tools to optimise research and reporting.

We’re seeking someone with strong research and analytical skills, confidence using CRM and data analytics tools, and a creative, curious mindset. Excellent collaboration and influencing skills are essential, as you will work closely with fundraisers, senior leaders, and volunteers to grow Blood Cancer UK’s supporter base and help unlock life-changing giving opportunities.

We are committed to actively promoting equality, diversity, and inclusivity. In line with our strategy we welcome approaches from individuals from underrepresented groups, including minority communities, and applicants with a disability, to better reflect the community we serve and help broaden our perspectives.

Since 1960 we have invested more than £500 million in blood cancer research in the UK. Where we’ve invested, survival rates and quality of life have improved. We’ve been working to beat blood cancer for over 50 years, and we won’t stop until we do. Be a part of our story and help us change the world.
