We're looking for a Community Fundraising Officer to join our team at Oxford Health Charity (OHC) to play a key role in increasing support for our charity, which funds projects that enhance the experience of patients, carers and staff beyond the NHS budget. OHC provides funding for a number of projects beyond the Trust’s NHS budget. From inviting green spaces, to funding artists to work with patients, improving staff rest areas, and providing non-essential medical equipment to make patients more comfortable and much more!
Working closely with the Head of Charity, you'll maximise fundraising income through creative and sustainable strategies, ensuring excellent stewardship of fundraisers and supporters. You'll manage community fundraising events, explore new sponsorship opportunities, and build strong relationships with local groups and organisations across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Wiltshire.
You'll maintain accurate donor records using the Donorfy database and contribute to the smooth running of fundraising activities, ensuring compliance and cost-effectiveness. This role requires excellent organisational and communication skills, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team. A background in fundraising or customer care, along with strong IT skills, is essential.
If you are passionate about making a difference and growing support for a vital NHS charity, we would love to hear from you!
