Fundraising department

Our dynamic fundraising department generated over £4 m in 22/23, and we are now preparing for an ambitious multimillion-pound campaign in support of a ground-breaking cancer centre on the site of the Royal Free Hospital. We pride ourselves on being a supporter focused and agile function, working at the heart of the charity to deliver impact for patients and staff across our hospitals. 

Responsible for attracting and retaining donors, and delivering an outstanding supporter experience, the fundraising department comprises two teams which work closely together to achieve our shared objectives: 

· Our Public Fundraising team harnesses the support and energy of individuals and groups, helping them to give back in the way that works for them. This includes committed giving, in memory support, gifts in wills, and fundraising events and challenges. Our database and supporter care teams sit within Public Fundraising, with their work underpinning and supporting the entire department. 

• Our Philanthropy and Campaigns team builds relationships with individual philanthropists, trusts, foundations, and corporate organisations which give, or have potential to give, £10,000 to the charity each year. They lead major appeal activity for the charity, currently focused on our exciting cancer campaign which is due to launch in 2025. 

We’re on a mission to help change lives and build healthy, resilient communities in Somerset.

We do this by supporting and championing voluntary and community organisations and providing a range of services, training and advice. We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and so we work with local partners to provide volunteering opportunities for all.

Integral to this is the Somerset Youth Alliance, which is facilitated by Spark Somerset. The Alliance is a group of organisations who work together for the benefit of young people in Somerset. We organise youth work training, bring members together to share successes and find solutions, support organisations to be safe and are champions of youth work in Somerset.

Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund, we are able to recruit a Communications and Events Lead who will support the Alliance to develop and implement branding and communications strategies, as well as coordinate and support Alliance events. Bringing youth organisations together and keeping them informed is a key priority for the project and will contribute to the developmental and collaborative culture of the Alliance.

This is a fixed-term role, working 37.5 hours per week until end of March 2026. The salary is £28,000 per annum (pro rata).
