Senior Fundraiser (Corporate Partnerships)

At Naomi House & Jacksplace, every partnership helps us bring comfort, expert care and joy to seriously ill children and young adults aged 0‑35 years old. We support around 600 families each year to access our extensive hospice services, from play therapy, to respite support, to end of life care – but we know more families and young adults need us. We’re on an ambitious journey to Reach More and Do More — and we’re looking for a dynamic Senior Fundraiser (Corporate Partnerships) to help lead the way.

This is not just another fundraising role. It’s a chance to join us at a time we are shaping the future of corporate giving at the hospices — inspiring businesses to make a real difference, while ensuring every existing partner feels valued, engaged, and proud to stand beside us.

About the Role:

As a key member of our passionate fundraising team, you’ll co‑lead our corporate partnerships strategy — driving both the growth of new, high‑value relationships and the nurturing of long‑term, transformational partnerships. You’ll blend strategic thinking with hands‑on relationship management, working across Hampshire & the IOW, Wiltshire, Dorset, Surrey, Berkshire and West Sussex. From developing innovative proposals to creating inspiring engagement plans, you’ll bring creativity, professionalism, and purpose to everything you do.

Our Corporate Partners are varied; they range in size, sector, income and location, but they have one joint thing in common: raising money to help our hospices. You will work with varied stakeholders, from CEOs to Office Administrators, meeting partners face‑to‑face to inspire income generation activities, and to increase the impact of the partnership. Your goal: to maximise corporate income through exceptional stewardship, compelling storytelling, and a shared belief in the power of partnership.

Why Join Us?

At Naomi House & Jacksplace, you’ll find more than a job — you’ll find a purpose. You’ll join a supportive, ambitious team that believes in the power of compassion and collaboration. Every conversation you have, every partnership you nurture, and every pound you raise will help us reach more families and do more life‑enhancing work.

• Co‑lead our corporate partnerships strategy — driving both the growth of new, high‑value and transformational relationships and the nurturing of long‑term, local partnership.

• Champion collaboration — work with fundraising, events, marketing, and supporter services to ensure every partnership shines and every supporter journey is seamless.
• Monitor and celebrate success — build out reports on progress, measure outcomes, and share achievements that demonstrate the difference we’re making together.
