About Mountbatten Hospice Group

At Mountbatten, our mission is to promote and provide compassionate care and support for those people living with, affected by, or curious about death, dying, and bereavement. As a charity, we deliver a wide range of services at our two hospices in Newport, Isle of Wight, and Southampton, Hampshire, as well as extensive community-based care for patients and their families at home.

With a focus on growth and positive change, you will inspire your team and champion new ideas that drive income generation for Mountbatten’s mission.

Who we’re looking for

We are seeking a highly motivated and experience senior fundraiser who is passionate about significantly impacting Mountbatten’s future. You will bring expertise across various fundraising income streams, with particular strengths in individual giving and/or corporate fundraising.

Person specification:

• Demonstrable significant fundraising experience with proven ability to deliver on time and within budget.
• Track record of motivating individuals and teams to raise money for a charitable organisation, ideally with a hospice or hospital focus.
• Significant line management and leadership experience, including motivating a team to achieve challenging targets.
