Director of Fundraising - Weston Hospicecare

Weston-super-Mare, Hybrid
£55 - 63K (dependent on experience)
Permanent
Closing on 17 October 2024

We are working in partnership with Weston Hospicecare, a highly regarded local charity founded by the local community over 30 years ago. They are the major provider of specialist palliative care in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, and Sedgemoor, providing free of charge physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual care to local people.

A new Director of Fundraising is sought to provide inspiring leadership to the fundraising function of Weston Hospicecare, implementing a fundraising strategy that will build voluntary income from its current level of £2 million per annum to provide long-term and sustainable income sources for the Hospice. Building a high performing fundraising team, with excellent working relationships throughout the organisation, through effective and decisive leadership, coaching and developing existing staff and recruiting new talent to take the activity forwards will be essential. This is a strategic leadership role, but operational fundraising elements will include taking personal responsibility for major donors and negotiating high value and/or high-profile fundraising partnerships.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate the following:

  • Proven fundraising experience and a sound working knowledge of all main fundraising methods.
  • Excellent track record in leading a team to deliver financial targets.
  • Understanding of GDPR legislation and of the Fundraising Code of Conduct as it applies to the work of the charity.
  • Ability to work at both strategic and operational level, including project planning, monitoring and evaluation.
  • Ability to translate strategic vision into clear direction for the organisation and line reports.
  • Track record of managing teams, both salaried and volunteers with a proven ability to recruit, train, monitor performance and nourish talent.


We are seeking a visible, strategic and motivational leader. Excellent negotiation, influencing and communication skills, both written and verbal will be crucial. The postholder will be expected to attend Board meetings (c.6 per year), and relevant sub-committee meetings.

Your application should include your CV and supporting statement.

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or other category protected by law.

  • Closing date: Thursday 17th October 2024
  • Interviews with Weston Hospicecare from Friday 1st November onwards
  • Charisma vetting interviews must be completed by Thursday 24th October prior to shortlisting on Friday 25th
