About the Company

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.

The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life.

Overview:

Jacari is at a key stage of its growth and is looking for a fundraiser who can help us find new sources of income and funding opportunities, reducing our reliance on trust and foundation grants. We particularly want someone who can help us to identify new major donor prospects and grow our income from regular and individual giving. We have a strong supporter-base of former volunteers and members, who were involved as far back as the 1950s. 

The role will also involve identifying and building relationships with trusts and foundations to support our work, writing funding proposals and applications, and reporting to funders on the impact of their support. 

This is a busy and varied role which often involves working on multiple fundraising activities at once. A typical day could include working on an application to a new funder, designing a supporter newsletter, gathering information for an end of grant report, and researching new prospects. 

This job is for you if you have:

• A track record of securing income through diverse fundraising streams, such as grants, corporate partnerships, or individual giving.

• Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders, including prospective donors - trusts, corporates and individuals.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft compelling proposals and make persuasive cases for support.
