Mercy Ships is at an exciting juncture. With two hospital ships delivering hope and healing in Africa, our UK office team is committed to engaging with new supporters – to double our fundraising income and significantly increase the number of incredible volunteers we recruit to serve on board.
As part of our growth strategy, we are investing in our events programme across the Christian, Medical and Maritime audiences, and are looking for an experienced Events Manager to help us deliver in 2025.
You will bring excellent organisational, planning, prioritisation and time management skills, and be able to inspire and coordinate both staff and volunteers (some of whom have served on our ships) in the process.
The role will include coordinating everything from Major Donor dinners with our Royal International Patron, to organising our 80 strong volunteer team at the Big Church Festival, and corporate maritime conferences.
This is a brand-new role reflecting our ambitions for growth. You will be part of a small, strong team and working closely with the Volunteer Team.
We are looking for an eye for detail to ensure a high professional standard is maintained – often under pressure – and with budget experience of large (c£50-100,000) events, within a charity environment.
Apply by 30 November.
