Summary
Community Fundraiser
Are you passionate about making a difference? Do you bring energy, positivity and a can-do attitude? Prospect Hospice is looking for a Community Fundraiser to join our friendly, supportive team and help local families facing life-limiting illness.
You’ll represent a charity with a person-centred approach to care, building strong relationships with community groups, businesses and supporters to secure vital funds for compassionate, specialist care.
Hours: 37.5 hours per week (part-time considered – minimum 30 hours per week)
The role
As a Community Fundraiser, you’ll:
• Build relationships with individuals, community groups, in-aid fundraisers, clubs/associations, volunteers and local businesses, attending events and inspiring supporters to reach their goals.
• Plan and deliver a calendar of community fundraising activities, working with the team to meet targets and steward supporters well.
• Manage key challenge events (London Landmarks, Swindon Half, Cycle Challenge, Bath Half and others) including budgets, suppliers and marketing to achieve net income targets and value for money.
• Lead the Christmas Tree Collection, securing sponsorship, coordinating volunteers and logistics, managing the budget and delivering income goals.

• Work with the communications team to promote activity, ensuring fundraising regulations, health & safety and safeguarding requirements are met.
• Work flexibly, including occasional evenings and weekends, to maximise impact and exceed targets.
This is a dynamic, people-focused role where no two days are the same. You’ll have the opportunity to take real ownership of community fundraising activity, build meaningful relationships, and see the direct impact of your work in supporting patients and families. If you’re motivated by purpose, enjoy being out in the community, and want a role where your energy and ideas can truly make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
