Fundraising Assistant

Liverpool, United Kingdom Charity Horizons Full time

Surrounded by 12 acres of beautiful woodland garden St Joseph’s Hospice cares for around 200 patients, and their families, every year from across a diverse geographical area, which includes Sefton, Liverpool and West Lancashire.

It is one of the oldest hospices in the country. For over 50 years the hospice has been passionate about providing high-quality, professional nursing care within a peaceful, home from home environment.

"My father-in-law spent the last few weeks of his life there and the care he and his family received was second to none. Being perfectly honest when my turn comes if I am not lucky enough to die peacefully in my sleep then this is where I would want to be."

All of the invaluable services the hospice provides, which include bereavement services, are entirely free of charge to patients and their families despite costing around £10k per day to run, so the hospice is largely dependent on fundraised income.

We are looking for a Fundraising Assistant to join the ambitious and committed fundraising team at the hospice.


The Role

As a Fundraiser Assistant you will be a vital part of the income generation team, supporting the wider team to maximise income. Duties will include:

  • Administration duties including taking enquiries on the telephone and e-mail.
  • Providing an excellent service (stewardship) to all supporters.
  • Enrolling participants in fundraising events and activities.
  • Ensuring donations are correctly processed and thanked. 
  • Sending out fundraising materials to assist supporters with their fundraising activities.
  • Supporting with marketing communications. 

 

The Person

To be considered for this exciting opportunity you will have excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships. We are looking for someone who is an excellent team player and can collaborate effectively with others.

This is a varied, busy role so you should be organised, able to prioritise and work to deadlines. You will have a positive, proactive approach with the passion and enthusiasm to learn.

While previous experience would be advantageous, we are also keen to speak with people looking to develop a career in the incredibly rewarding world of fundraising. If that’s you, this could be your next step

 

Why St Joseph’s Hospice?

Affectionately known locally as ‘Jospice’, the values of the Hospice are compassion, dignity, hospitality, and trust.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join their small but mighty fundraising team and be part of setting the fundraising agenda. It is an opportunity, for the right candidate, to develop their fundraising career.

The Hospice also offers a great range of benefits including:

  • Employer contributory pension scheme
  • 6 weeks annual leave
  • Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Free onsite parking

 

The role is permanent and full-time. Whilst this role is based at the hospice in Thornton, you will be out and about meeting potential donors and supporters therefore a driving license and access to a vehicle is essential.

There is also flexibility to work some of the time at home. The role will involve attendance at events - some of which occur out of hours – in the evenings and at weekends – in the local area.

 

If this sounds like the type of role and charity that could suit the next phase of your career, then do get in touch. To register your interest please apply here.

 

Please note: If you would like to submit an application or express your interest in an alternative format, such as audio or video upload, please contact either Charlie or Leanne who will be happy to advise on this. Also, please let us know if you require any adaptations for your initial engagement with us.

Please also be aware that we use anonymous recruitment methods when submitting shortlists for all our roles and we only work with organisations that are happy to engage with us in this way.
