One of the oldest hospices in the country, for over 50 years St Joseph’s Hospice has been passionate about providing high-quality, professional nursing care within a peaceful, home from home environment.
"My father-in-law spent the last few weeks of his life there and the care he and his family received was second to none. Being perfectly honest when my turn comes if I am not lucky enough to die peacefully in my sleep then this is where I would want to be.".
Surrounded by 12 acres of beautiful woodland garden the hospice cares for around 200 patients, and their families, every year from across a diverse geographical area, which includes Sefton, Liverpool and West Lancashire.

St Ann's Hospice is growing! Currently in the process of building a brand-new hospice in Heald Green, we're looking for someone with just the right blend of stewardship and new business skills.
What's extra special?
This new role will build on the strengths of an existing and established Major Gifts fundraising programme to provide a significant contribution to the new build target, with plenty of sponsorship and naming opportunities still available.
We're looking for someone who can continue to nurture existing donors, with the exceptional stewardship they are accustomed to. But also spark the imagination of potential new donors, engaging them at an exciting chapter in the hospice's history, and start the journey to becoming loyal St Ann's supporters.
About the role
The role will begin with a focus on capital, but always one eye on future-proofing and long-term sustainability. This is a permanent role and very much viewed as part of the hospice's long-term fundraising strategy. You'll play a vital role in transitioning back from capital campaign to revenue, supporting the organisation to build a robust and sustainable philanthropy pipeline.
It's a lovely mix of stewarding existing relationships and building brand-new ones. You're comfortable and confident researching and developing new contacts, harnessing the power of existing networks. We'd also love to see you bring a positive 'new business' mindset and fresh approach to unlocking new potential.
About you
You're likely to be a seasoned philanthropy professional, ideally with a track record securing gifts at £50k+. You relish the chance to make asks at five and six figures and you'll love working closely with a well-connected and active Development Board.
There's also potential for an experienced fundraiser with transferable skills who can confidently and proactively deliver a new business development pipeline. Or perhaps a sales or business development expert looking to make a transition into the charity sector.
Whatever your background, you'll need to be able to demonstrate an understanding of philanthropy and what makes major donors tick, alongside the appetite and aptitude to new relationships from scratch.
To apply, we'd love to see you showcasing these skills, experiences and personal qualities:
You build strong relationships with a variety of key stakeholders to generate income.
You've got strong budget management skills and you achieve targets.
You work flexibly to meet the needs of donors, understanding there isn't a 'one size fits all' approach.
You raise people up and lead by example.
You're a genuine team player, approaching internal and external relationships with care, compassion and empathy.
If you're as excited by this opportunity as we are, then we'd love hear from you. Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People as the first step.
Deadline: We'll be working on a rolling basis. Please get in touch as soon as possible if you are interested, we would love to begin conversations with interested candidates early.
If a rolling deadline disadvantages you in any way, please get in touch with Amelia and she'll be her very best to ensure you don't miss out.

Closing date: 4 November 2024
Applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis, so please apply without delay to avoid disappointment.
QuarterFive are delighted to be partnering with The Orpheus Centre, which supports young disabled adults to live and work as independently as they are able. They do this through developing their confidence and independent living skills, using arts-based, bespoke learning, work experience and supported living programmes delivered from their base in Surrey. All of their learners are learning disabled and some are also physically disabled.
The Orpheus Centre is located at a beautiful converted farm that provides teaching and performance spaces and self-contained accommodation. However, their success in enabling these young people to thrive means that they are over subscribed every year and have outgrown the current facilities.
The capital appeal will convert a building next to the Centre to allow for more learners to enrol, in particular more learners with more complex needs. Currently, the quiet phase is projected for 2024-2027, with the build phase being projected for 2027-2029.
The Head of Capital Appeal will sit on the SMT, reporting to the CEO, and be responsible for leading a small team of fundraisers also dedicated to raising funds for the build. While there will be a team to support, the Head of Capital Appeal will spend most of their time personally fundraising as well. There are existing opportunities, including a well-connected President (also the Founder), a Capital Appeal Committee which will be set up, and an existing pool of donors. A focus on new business, however, will also be crucial for the success of the project.
As Head of Capital Appeal, you will:
- Develop, implement and monitor the private and public phases of the capital appeal strategy to enable the Orpheus Centre to meet the appeal target
- Establish a high performing capital appeal committee of volunteers to cultivate and steward potential significant donors
- Deliver target income from a range of sources, primarily major donors, trusts and foundations and statutory sources, but not discounting other viable income streams
- Personally secure significant major gifts for the capital project
- Design, recruit and lead a team of fundraisers to support on fundraising for the capital project
- Research and identify potential funders for the capital project
- Work closely with the build project team, to ensure clear communication between the funding and the building of the project
- Provide timely reports for Senior Management Team and Trustees to facilitate effective cash flow management and decision making
Ideal skills and experience:
- Significant experience in a senior high value fundraising role
- Demonstrable experience of securing 5- and 6-figure major gifts
- Extensive track record in working with trusts, major donors and statutory funders
- Experience of line managing teams of fundraisers
- Ability to adapt to different audiences, including donors, senior volunteers, team members, learners and all colleagues in the wider organisation
- Experience in managing senior level volunteers and fundraising committees
- Understanding of disability language and issues
- Ability to demonstrate an appreciation of the arts
Benefits include:
- 30 days annual leave in addition to bank holidays
- 6% employer pension contribution (5% employee contributions)
- Enhanced maternity leave
- 5 days paid sick leave in a rolling 12-month period
- 3 days paid time off for dependents per year
- Free staff lunches
- Employee Assistance Programme
Interviews are scheduled for Thursday 7th November (on-site). If you require any reasonable adjustments, or have any questions/require flexibility regarding date/time, please contact Emily Birch at QuarterFive.
