You will be responsible for developing and executing fundraising strategies and building relationships with potential strategic partnerships/individuals with new key audiences across all our income streams. This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate and motivated individual to make a real difference to cancer patients.

This role requires a dynamic and enthusiastic self-starter who is able to identify key opportunities by targeting specific areas such as Macclesfield where we have our Christie Cancer Centre and the Cheshire Golden Triangle.

At The Christie Charity we are an ambitious and forward-thinking organisation with a loyal supporter base. You would be part of a successful high achieving collaborative team, and this role gives you the opportunity to experience multiple fundraising disciplines.
