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
