Making Every Day Count at St. Rocco’s Hospice
Do you love the buzz of event day—and know how much planning goes into making it happen? Can you inspire people to take part, keep them coming back and lead a team to grow community fundraising?
We’re looking for an Events and Community Fundraising Manager to take the lead on mass participation events and manage two Community Fundraisers. This is a hands‑on opportunity to combine creative ideas, confident event delivery and supportive leadership to grow vital income for our hospice.
Make mass participation happen
From the first idea to the final thank‑you, you’ll own the planning and delivery of events that bring people together for a shared purpose. You’ll turn enthusiasm into registrations, registrations into fundraising and a great experience into a reason to return.
- Project manage events: Maximising an established events portfolio and opportunities to deliver new ideas from concept through to delivery and evaluation, keeping plans, budgets, suppliers, volunteers and logistics on track.
- Grow participation: reach new audiences, working with internal colleagues and the marketing and communications team to grow numbers and create compelling event campaigns.
- Supporter enjoyment: that help participants feel welcomed, prepared and motivated to fundraise year after year.
- Safety and compliance: Deliver safe, well‑organised events through effective risk assessments, contingency planning and attention to detail.
- Analysis: Use feedback, participation data and financial results to improve mass participation and community events and develop fresh opportunities.
Lead the team behind community fundraising
Alongside delivering the events portfolio, you’ll line manage two Community Fundraisers, giving them the direction, encouragement and support to build strong local relationships and deliver their agreed objectives. Championing excellent supporter care so people feel valued and inspired to continue their support.
Managing income and expenditure budgets, monitor progress and use insight for the Community Fundraisers to grow participation, supporter retention and net income.
What you’ll bring
You’ll bring experience of delivering and growing events, community fundraising or a comparable income‑generating programme, with the project management skills to keep multiple activities moving. You’ll be comfortable managing budgets, forecasting income and using results to make better decisions.
Just as importantly, you’ll know how to lead and develop people, build trusted relationships and communicate with a wide range of supporters. Creative, organised and committed to excellent supporter care, you’ll combine ambition for growth with sound judgement and a practical understanding of event safety and fundraising standards.
The role involves occasional travel, evenings and weekends to support events and community activity.
Ready to bring your ideas to life?
If you can deliver events people love, support a community fundraising team and help grow vital hospice income, we’d love to hear from you.
