About us  

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values: 

• Courageous
• Collaborative 
• Compassion

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values. 

At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported.  We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices. 

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.

Marie Curie is the UK's leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness they're likely to die from.

We want a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life, through 3 ways: 
- Growing and transforming our direct care and support 
- Delivering more practical information and support 
- Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience  

Your role in our mission…..
Reporting to the Deputy Head of Region, and working alongside some of the most talented fundraising professionals in the sector, you will support and guide individuals who raise funds and volunteer for Marie Curie in our communities, helping them reach their goals and, in turn, raise essential funds for our cause.

The role of a Community Fundraiser is incredibly diverse. You will assist people raising money through third-party events, support local participation in national campaigns like The Great Daffodil Appeal, recruit and guide fundraising groups and volunteers, engage small businesses and corporate partners, and encourage individuals to take on their own fundraising challenges.

You'll witness firsthand the incredible efforts of our fundraisers and develop strong relationships with truly inspiring people. The impact of a Community Fundraiser extends far beyond the initial interaction. You could be the spark that inspires someone to champion Marie Curie as their workplace's Charity of the Year or to include us in their will, creating a lasting legacy. The ripple effect of your work is profound!

This role is ideal for you if you enjoy:
- Delivering exceptional supporter experiences and customer service
- Connecting with people via email, phone, and in person
- Empowering others to meet their goals and exceed their expectations
- Juggling multiple tasks, solving problems, and thinking on your feet
- Building relationships with a wide range of individuals
- Being a team player and thinking creatively about how to support your colleagues across the charity

Main responsibilities:
- Build and develop a network of fundraising groups and volunteers, providing them with excellent stewardship.
- Deliver local elements of key national campaigns, such as the Great Daffodil Appeal and Blooming Great Tea Party.
- Create opportunities to grow community involvement and financial support through proactive outreach and relationship building.
- Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders, including local media, businesses, and community groups.
- Ensure compliance with health and safety and fundraising policies while maintaining accurate financial records.

Key Criteria:
- Proven experience managing volunteers or community engagement in a paid or voluntary capacity.
- Exceptional interpersonal and networking skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate.
- Strong organisational abilities, including planning, prioritisation, and working to budgets and targets.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and database management.
- A full UK driver's license and willingness to work evenings and weekends as needed.
- Experience with corporate partnerships, local media engagement, and campaign implementation.
- Knowledge of PR/marketing principles and fundraising operations.
- Must have a valid driving licence and access to a car for regular travel
