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. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness they're likely to die from.

We want a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life, through 3 ways:

The impact of a Community Fundraiser extends far beyond the initial interaction. You could be the spark that inspires someone to champion Marie Curie as their workplace's Charity of the Year or to include us in their will, creating a lasting legacy. The ripple effect of your work is profound!

This role is ideal for you if you enjoy:
- Delivering exceptional supporter experiences and customer service
- Connecting with people via email, phone, and in person
- Empowering others to meet their goals and exceed their expectations

- Create opportunities to grow community involvement and financial support through proactive outreach and relationship building.
- Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders, including local media, businesses, and community groups.
- Ensure compliance with health and safety and fundraising policies while maintaining accurate financial records.

Key Criteria:
- Proven experience managing volunteers or community engagement in a paid or voluntary capacity.
- Exceptional interpersonal and networking skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate.
- Strong organisational abilities, including planning, prioritisation, and working to budgets and targets.
