Are you an enthusiastic and creative fundraiser who loves bringing people together through memorable events? Do you have the drive to inspire supporters and generate vital income for a cause that makes a real difference every day?
The Hospice of the Good Shepherd is looking for an Events Fundraiser to join our ambitious Income Generation team. This exciting role will support the planning and delivery of a varied programme of fundraising events that help fund specialist care for local people and their families.
Working as part of our Fundraising team, you will help deliver a calendar of high-profile fundraising events including our Twilight Walk, Foamtastic Colourblast, Santa Dash, Hospice Strictly plus a range of corporate and community events. You will play a key role in ensuring participants, volunteers, sponsors and supporters enjoy an outstanding experience while helping us achieve ambitious income targets.
This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same.

You will have experience in event planning and delivery and be confident managing multiple projects at the same time. Experience of fundraising, working with volunteers or working within the charity sector would be advantageous, but above all we are looking for someone with energy, enthusiasm and a passion for delivering exceptional experiences.
