Head Of Corporate Fundraising Jobs

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…..

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.

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace, that represents, and can advocate for the communities we support. We stand against discrimination and prejudice, and we champion tolerance, fairness and equality in everything we do. This makes us stronger and helps us reach more people. We’re all here for the same reason: to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.

We're committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men who are at double risk. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities. This will help us create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.
