The successful candidate will have great written communication skills and experience of developing projects and funding requirements.
This is a great cause to fundraise for, they have amazing stories to tell and exciting opportunities to grow their service further. The work is very rewarding for the team too – this charity knows that they are contributing to saving local lives every single day, equipping the clinical team for tomorrow, and building for the charity’s long-term future.
You would be joining the organisation at an exciting time, as the charity continues to innovate in the field of pre-hospital care. You will be supported in developing your skills and be part of a dedicated team committed to saving local lives.
