This is an exciting time to join Hospice UK! We are growing as a charity and expanding our Major Giving team to deliver and scale up our successful fundraising strategy to ensure “hospice care for everyone in need.”
You will have already proved you can raise significant funds from trusts and foundations and are now looking to develop your skillset and deepen your experience in an exciting new role. This is a great opportunity if you are ambitious and have the drive, intelligence, and passion to excel. Hybrid working is part of the deal too, so you will be looking to work between the office and home, with a mixed working pattern to suit both you and our leading national healthcare charity.
As our Major Giving Manager focussing on Trust fundraising, we see you developing and managing your own portfolio of trusts and foundations via bespoke proposals and grant management. You’ll also be engaging new and potential supporters as we continue to grow and achieve ambitious new targets. There is a significant warm portfolio of high value trusts to cultivate, as well as the opportunity for you to pursue exciting new business.
You will have the opportunity to work with major funders like the National Lottery Community Fund, Peter Sowerby Foundation and Kirby Laing Foundation etc. You’ll be writing complex applications to secure restricted income for our programmes and projects, and actively developing new Trust relationships into multi-year strategic partnerships.
You will also be supporting the Head of Major Giving in growing our high value fundraising programme for individual donors, and providing support to the Major Giving Administrator to expand our established pipeline of small to medium sized Trusts to secure unrestricted income for the charity.
We are a supportive and collaborative team, with many years of fundraising experience between us. Hospice UK offers a vibrant and rewarding work environment where we live our corporate values. With a great team culture of sharing, learning, social activities, and regular meet-ups, we work collaboratively, support each other and celebrate our successes!
At Hospice UK you will have the structure, support and opportunities to develop a stellar track-record and work towards your life goals. We pride ourselves on providing excellent career development opportunities for fundraisers, including internal and external training opportunities.
About Hospice UK
Hospice UK is the national charity for hospice and end of life care. We work to ensure everyone affected by death, dying and bereavement gets the care and support they need, when they need it. Each year our hospice members collectively support 225,000 adults and children with a terminal or life-shortening condition, and provide 72,000 families and carers with bereavement support.
About You:
You are a positive, creative, and proactive individual who embraces the challenge of a diverse portfolio. With success in cultivating new relationships, as well as managing existing donors, you will be a well organised self-starter with excellent written and verbal communication skills. You’ll already have fantastic CRM database and prospect research skills, and pride yourself on your organisation skills and attention to detail.
You will be able to quickly form great relationships with internal and external partners, and act as a representative for Hospice UK. You must have a track record of generating income at the five and six figure level through high quality applications and excellent reporting and account management.
Other benefits:
We provide an excellent benefits package including: hybrid working, a generous annual leave entitlement (increasing with service), wellbeing programmes, matched pension contributions, private health care options, and access to an employee assistance programme.
Based in London’s Kings Cross, we Work Smarter to Live Better.
