Community and Events Coordinator (Fundraising)

Could you help us to raise the funds needed to continue to provide the local community with high quality end of life care?

We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative team player to bring new ideas to the table as well as work on a broad fundraising programme to raise the essential funds to provide our services to local people. The ideal candidate will have had previous fundraising experience, however if you can evidence your ability to build strong relationships, achieve targets and run successful events, this job could be for you.  You will need to be self-motivated, be an excellent communicator and passionate about supporting our community.

This post comes at an exciting time as we re-build our fundraising and care activities post pandemic.  We are a small, successful and ambitious department who thrive on collaboration and working together. We will focus on embracing new ways of working to develop creative fundraising ideas and campaigns as well as supporting our existing portfolio of successful events.

This role is permanent and, ideally, would be fulfilled on a full-time basis (37.5 hours per week), but we would consider a 30-hour contract for the right candidate.

This post can be based at either our Alnwick or Berwick centres.

In addition to the salary, we offer:

• Workplace pension scheme or the ability to continue to contribute to an existing NHS pension scheme
• 27 days’ annual leave per year rising to 32 days after 5 years’ service plus Bank Holidays (pro rata for part time employees)
• Professional development opportunities
• Health Cash Plan
• Free on-site car parking

Please contact us if you would like an informal discussion about the role.

We positively encourage applications from all areas of the community, regardless of gender, race, faith, disability, age or sexual orientation and we encourage applications from users of mental health services. This is part of our commitment to equality and reflecting the diversity of our population. All appointments are subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks being obtained including successful applicants being required to undertake an DBS Check. Disclosure expense will be met by employer.

Interview date Wednesday 20 July.
