An exciting opportunity to join our Community Fundraising team.  The Volunteer & Community Fundraising Assistant role is the first point of contact for supporter enquiries, provides administrative support across the team and supports Charity activity through our volunteer programme.

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. We ensure our nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world.

From funding state-of-the-art equipment and ground-breaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

We are a very ambitious organisation which has gone through transformational growth over the past five years. Alongside funding an existing programme of world-leading research, treatment and care, the Charity completed its largest capital appeal to date, successfully raising £70 million to build the Oak Cancer Centre at the hospital’s Sutton site, which opened in summer 2023.

We have exceeded our fundraising targets, over the past three years, raising over £90m against a target of £83m and making over £82m in funding available to The Royal Marsden. However, with one in two of us expected to develop some form of cancer, it is essential that we go even further in our fundraising efforts to support the essential work of The Royal Marsden. Therefore, we have recently launched our most ambitious strategy yet, that will see us raising at least £215m over the 5-year period.

The Charity is committed to raising £150 million, through a major fundraising appeal, for a new major development project in Chelsea, which will launch in 2024/25. There is also an extensive portfolio of engaging projects outside of the capital appeals, that help to support all aspects of the hospital’s work to improve the lives of cancer patients.

Working for us offers you a challenging and rewarding career, as well as the chance to really improve the lives of those living with cancer.

The Community Fundraising team, supported by an incredible team of volunteers, stewards some of our most dedicated supporters, who organise events and bring their networks together to raise up to six figure sums. We build long lasting relationships with individuals as well as community groups, schools and corporate organisations to raise millions for Charity every year.

As Volunteer and Community Fundraising Assistant you will focus on supporting Charity activity through our volunteer programme and being the first point of contact for supporter enquiries. You will also provide administrative support across the Community Fundraising team.

Who are we?

Guts UK is committed to a world where digestive disorders are better understood, better treated and everyone who lives with one gets the support they need. Too many people are suffering or dying in silence or alone. They don’t know where to turn for information or support, diagnosis takes too long for many and treatment can often come too late.

We are the only UK charity that covers the entire digestive system from top to tail; the gut, liver and pancreas. We fund lifesaving research, provide patients with expert information and support and raise awareness about digestive symptoms and conditions. We are informed by evidence and expertise and have our community, and the patient voice, at the heart of everything that we do.

Who are you?

• You are committed to ensuring supporters get the best possible experience, feeling supported and valued throughout
• You are looking to build your career in fundraising
• You have great attention to detail and pride yourself on accuracy
• You work meticulously and take the time needed to get things right and do things properly ensuring you comply with appropriate procedures
• You are a team player and are happy to muck-in when / where needed
• You have a warm, engaging personality
• You have an interest or connection to our cause and a real desire to help the UK to get to grips with guts!
