Events Officer in Birmingham

Help create unforgettable experiences that make a lasting difference.

Are you an experienced fundraiser with a passion for delivering exceptional events and building meaningful relationships? Do you thrive on bringing people together for a great cause? If so, we’d love to hear from you. We’re looking for an enthusiastic and organised Events Officer to join our Income Generation Team at Birmingham Hospice. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering a varied and inspiring programme of fundraising events that not only raise vital income but also create memorable experiences for our supporters. From fun runs and adrenaline-fuelled challenges to heartfelt in-memory events, no two days are the same.

You’ll take the lead in coordinating a diverse portfolio of events, ensuring every participant feels valued and supported while helping to grow awareness and income for Birmingham Hospice. Working closely with the Events Manager, you’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality events from planning through to evaluation. You’ll engage with supporters by phone, email and face-to-face, build lasting relationships, and use your creativity to identify new opportunities to grow our events programme and inspire even more people to get involved.

What you’ll bring:

• Passionate about fundraising and delivering outstanding supporter experiences.
• Experienced in managing a portfolio of events and achieving or exceeding participation and income targets.
• A confident communicator with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Highly organised, proactive and able to manage multiple priorities effectively.
• Skilled at building positive relationships with supporters, volunteers, suppliers and colleagues at every level.
• Comfortable using CRM systems to manage supporter data and event administration (experience is desirable).

This is your chance to combine your event management expertise with a role that has genuine purpose. Every event you deliver will help Birmingham Hospice continue providing compassionate care and support to local people and their families when they need it most. If you’re ready to use your creativity, enthusiasm and fundraising experience to make a real impact, we’d love to welcome you to our team.

No day is ever the same when working in events! Beccy Richards and Nat Humphrey in our Events Team work hard throughout the year to deliver our Rainbow Rush, Ride the Reservoir, The Chocolate 5K, Memory Walk and much more! Both Beccy and Nat joined us in the autumn of 2021. They play a crucial role in planning events behind the scenes, securing venues and suppliers, carrying out feasibility studies, writing up risk assessments and method statements, and recruiting volunteers months in advance, as well as promoting the event to participants and making sure everything goes well on the day. They also look after our participants in external events including Birmingham Running Festival, Tough Mudder and the London Marathon.

Nat said: “No day is ever the same when working in events! It can be so full on, especially the weeks leading up to the actual day, with the lugging of equipment and 4am starts. It’s always such a thrill though, and the feeling you get when everyone is having the best time at the event you’ve been working so hard on for so many months, just makes it all worth it!”

We embrace diversity of culture, background and environment knowing it enriches our workplace and our relationships with our local communities.
