Here at Marie Curie we believeEveryone who will be affected by dying, death and bereavement should have the best possible experience, and for that experience to reflect what is most important to them.

Our ambition is to make that happen and to help achieve this, we are seeking to recruit a Community Fundraiser to build, develop and maintain fantastic relationships throughout their patch.

If you thrive on the challenge of setting and achieving ambitious goals, think the only way to approach a target is to tackle it head on, and can bring the energy that adds some drive to how you approach your fundraising, then Marie Curie would love to support you in achieving your goals and helping us create a better end of life experience for everyone.

Candidates must have recent, relevant experience in a similar role, have an in-depth knowledge of fundraising principles, methods and procedures and have experience of recruiting and managing volunteers and fundraising groups.

The nature of fundraising activity requires flexibility and in return for your commitment to evening and weekend work, we will strive to help you enjoy a strong work life balance. Additionally, as the role will involve lots of travel, you should have a full UK driver’s license.

In return for your own commitment, we commit to actively developing you and offer a comprehensive Community Fundraising Training Pathway; buddying; mentoring; shadowing and coaching through your individually tailored personal development plan.
