Fundraising department

Our dynamic fundraising department generated over £4 m in 22/23, and we are now preparing for an ambitious multimillion-pound campaign in support of a ground-breaking cancer centre on the site of the Royal Free Hospital. We pride ourselves on being a supporter focused and agile function, working at the heart of the charity to deliver impact for patients and staff across our hospitals. 

Responsible for attracting and retaining donors, and delivering an outstanding supporter experience, the fundraising department comprises two teams which work closely together to achieve our shared objectives: 

· Our Public Fundraising team harnesses the support and energy of individuals and groups, helping them to give back in the way that works for them. This includes committed giving, in memory support, gifts in wills, and fundraising events and challenges. Our database and supporter care teams sit within Public Fundraising, with their work underpinning and supporting the entire department. 

• Our Philanthropy and Campaigns team builds relationships with individual philanthropists, trusts, foundations, and corporate organisations which give, or have potential to give, £10,000 to the charity each year. They lead major appeal activity for the charity, currently focused on our exciting cancer campaign which is due to launch in 2025. 

For over 900 years Tewkesbury Abbey has stood as a spiritual, cultural and heritage resource for the town, region and nation. We are now investing to double visitor numbers and to safeguard this heritage for future generations.

As Head of Marketing and Events you will play a key role in shaping and delivering these plans.  As the first tranche of our new investment, you will be in at the ground floor and will oversee the growth of your marketing team, as we deliver on these plans.  This is a unique opportunity for a creative marketing professional.  The successful candidate will be a flexible team player who is looking for an exciting new challenge and the opportunity to shape the next chapter in the life of the Abbey.
