Naomi House & Jacksplace provide expert hospice care to over 500 life-limited and life-threatened children, young adults, and families from across central southern England. It takes over 8m a year to run the charity's vital services, and to make it happen they need innovative, imaginative, focused, ambitious fundraisers to generate those much-needed funds.

The role of the Senior Regional Fundraiser is to support this by taking an active lead on all regional and community fundraising activity. This will include cultivating relationships with existing individuals, fundraising committees, businesses, schools, and community groups by executing exemplary, personalised stewardships in order to maximise fundraising income. It will involve researching and identifying prospective new regional fundraising opportunities and activities and producing funding proposals for donors and prospects. You will also be working to secure charity of the year adoptions for organisations, including community groups, golf clubs, schools, and smaller companies whilst undertaking talks to community groups to maintain relationships, nurture new contacts, and elicit donations.

This is a permanent, full-time role working 37.5 hours per week. You will work Monday - Friday with occasional evening and weekend hours required. Benefits include flexible working options, 28-days holiday, group pension scheme, life assurance, health cash plan, and the opportunity to work in an organisation where every job matters.

Do you want to make a difference to life-limited and life-threatened children, young people, and their families? If so, then please contact Emma Bell at Merrifield Consultants to ask for more information or apply.
