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.

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.

One of the oldest hospices in the country, for over 50 years St Joseph’s Hospice has been passionate about providing high-quality, professional nursing care within a peaceful, home from home environment.
"My father-in-law spent the last few weeks of his life there and the care he and his family received was second to none. Being perfectly honest when my turn comes if I am not lucky enough to die peacefully in my sleep then this is where I would want to be.".
Surrounded by 12 acres of beautiful woodland garden the hospice cares for around 200 patients, and their families, every year from across a diverse geographical area, which includes Sefton, Liverpool and West Lancashire. All of the invaluable services the hospice provides, which include bereavement services, are entirely free of charge to patients and their families despite costing around £10k per day to run, so the hospice is largely dependent on fundraised income.
We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic Community & Events Fundraiser to join the ambitious and dedicated Fundraising Team at the hospice.
The Role
As a Community & Events Fundraiser you will be responsible for developing and implementing a programme of vibrant, commercially successful fundraising events. Duties will include:
- Managing community fundraising and building relationships with donors to maximise income.
- Recruiting and managing the Fundraising volunteers.
- Supporting the Income & Business Development Manager in delivering the annual objectives and targets.
- Attending third party fundraising events to offer support and promote the hospice within the community
The Person
To be considered for this exciting opportunity you will have excellent people skills with the ability to enthuse and motivate others. Proven experience of fundraising and events would be ideal, however we are keen to hear from people with transferable backgrounds including volunteering, business development/ sales or account management.
You will have a creative and proactive approach to all areas of work, with the capability to successfully lead a team by example and collaborate with others. You will also have superb numeracy and planning skills with a flair for social media.
With strong written and verbal communication skills, and a passion for fundraising, community and events, this could be the next rewarding step in your fundraising career.
Why St Joseph’s Hospice?
This is an incredibly exciting time to join the small but mighty fundraising team to really make your mark and be part of setting the fundraising agenda at St Joseph’s. This is a role with scope for development for the right candidate. The Hospice also offers a fantastic range of benefits including:
- Employer contributory pension scheme
- 6 weeks annual leave
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
- Free onsite parking.
If this sounds like the type of environment that would suit you for the next phase of your career, then get in touch! The role is permanent and full-time. Whilst this role is based at the hospice in Thornton, you will be out and about meeting potential donors/supporters therefore a Driving license and access to a vehicle is essential. There is also flexibility to work some of the time at home. The role will also involve attendance at events – some of which occurring out of hours – evenings and weekends – in the local area.
If this sounds like the type of role and charity that could suit the next phase of your career, then do get in touch. To register your interest please apply here, or for more information contact Charlie or Leanne at Charity Horizons.

We are Britain’s first rewilding charity on a mission to see 30% of our land and seas rewilding by 2030. Rewilding has recently moved from being a niche idea to playing a significant role in the fight against some of the biggest global challenges we face. Rewilding Britain has been at the forefront of this change since its formation in 2015, acting as a catalyst for debate and action, and demonstrating the power of working with nature to build a green economy where people and nature thrive.
We influence policy, inspire public action and catalyse joined-up practical and financial support to help establish rewilding across Britain’s land and seas. Through our rapidly growing Rewilding Network we’re bringing together a community of rewilders - from land managers and farmers, to charities, community groups and national parks - to inspire and support each other to create a wilder, more prosperous Britain. It’s not too late - but we must act now.
We have a Vision and Strategy to 2030 and are in the process of evaluating the impact of our current strategic plan and defining our strategic objectives for 2025-2030. In 2025 we will also celebrate our 10 year anniversary.

Reporting to our Chief Operating Officer, the aim is to be able to understand, evaluate and learn from our impacts and to track our organisational performance through appropriate data and metrics. It will build on an existing set of metrics that have been developed and provide the foundation for a longer term impact evaluation approach.
Role purpose:
Lead the development of an initial impact and evaluation framework that will help us to track our progress, demonstrate achievements and ensure accountability.
Your responsibilities will include:
-
Consult and work closely with staff and relevant external stakeholders to review current impact performance tracking across all organisation objectives and identify gaps in or improvements required.
-
Lead the development and design of an initial impact and evaluation framework and data collection system for Rewilding Britain, including clearly defined and measurable outcomes linked to our Strategic Plan and Theory of Change.
-
Lead on the collation, analysis and communication of monitoring and evaluation data across the organisation and highlight any key trends.
-
Design a dashboard and reporting mechanisms for presenting the data in a way that is easy to use and understand.
-
Contribute towards the continuous improvement of processes, data and our technology to enable the charity to collect and analyse impact and monitoring data on an ongoing basis.
-
Champion good data practise for all internal databases to ensure data quality and centralisation of data.
-
Support the Fundraising Team in their work to identify, cultivate and inform existing and prospective donors and funding partners with relevant evidence and insights
-
Support and collaborate with the wider team on evaluation and monitoring to instil a culture of learning and evaluation across functions
-
Extract, interpret, summarise and communicate key stakeholder needs from evaluation and data outputs
-
Work closely with our Data Monitoring Project team to incorporate data from our emerging Rewilding Monitoring Framework into our impact and evaluation framework.
-
Produce evaluation reports and the data, stories and case studies for a high quality 10 year Impact Report using this framework.
Skills, experience and behaviours

Experience of designing, executing and embedding measurement frameworks.

Experience of conducting quantitative and qualitative research.

Experience of using insight from data and research to add value.
