St Ann's Hospice is growing Currently in the process of building a brand-new hospice in Heald Green, we're looking for someone with just the right blend of stewardship and new business skills.

What's extra special?

This new role will build on the strengths of an existing and established Major Gifts fundraising programme to provide a significant contribution to the new build target, with plenty of sponsorship and naming opportunities still available.

We're looking for someone who can continue to nurture existing donors, with the exceptional stewardship they are accustomed to. But also spark the imagination of potential new donors, engaging them at an exciting chapter in the hospice's history, and start the journey to becoming loyal St Ann's supporters.

About the role

The role will begin with a focus on capital, but always one eye on future-proofing and long-term sustainability. This is a permanent role and very much viewed as part of the hospice's long-term fundraising strategy. You'll play a vital role in transitioning back from capital campaign to revenue, supporting the organisation to build a robust and sustainable philanthropy pipeline.

It's a lovely mix of stewarding existing relationships and building brand-new ones. You're comfortable and confident researching and developing new contacts, harnessing the power of existing networks. We'd also love to see you bring a positive 'new business' mindset and fresh approach to unlocking new potential.

About you

You're likely to be a seasoned philanthropy professional, ideally with a track record securing gifts at £50k+. You relish the chance to make asks at five and six figures and you'll love working closely with a well-connected and active Development Board.

There's also potential for an experienced fundraiser with transferable skills who can confidently and proactively deliver a new business development pipeline. Or perhaps a sales or business development expert looking to make a transition into the charity sector.

Whatever your background, you'll need to be able to demonstrate an understanding of philanthropy and what makes major donors tick, alongside the appetite and aptitude to new relationships from scratch.

To apply, we'd love to see you showcasing these skills, experiences and personal qualities:

  • You build strong relationships with a variety of key stakeholders to generate income.
  • You've got strong budget management skills and you achieve targets.
  • You work flexibly to meet the needs of donors, understanding there isn't a 'one size fits all' approach.
  • You raise people up and lead by example.
  • You're a genuine team player, approaching internal and external relationships with care, compassion and empathy.

If you're as excited by this opportunity as we are, then we'd love hear from you. Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People as the first step.

Deadline: Only because this role has been previously advertised, we'll be working on a rolling basis. Please get in touch as soon as possible if you are interested, we would love to begin conversations with interested candidates early.

If a rolling deadline disadvantages you in any way, please get in touch with Amelia and she'll be her very best to ensure you don't miss out.

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion. We match charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
