The Shakespeare Hospice is looking for an enthusiastic and highly organised Fundraising Assistant to join our Income Generation team and play a central role in supporting the Hospice's fundraising activity.

The role is the first point of contact for many of our supporters, helping to ensure every interaction with the Hospice is positive, responsive and meaningful. You will act as a key coordination point across the fundraising team, supporting campaigns, community fundraising, events and supporter communications.

Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you will help ensure that fundraising activity runs smoothly and that opportunities to engage and thank supporters are maximised. This role is pivotal in making supporters feel valued and connected to the Hospice, helping to turn initial engagement into long-term relationships.

You will be someone who enjoys working with people and takes pride in providing excellent supporter care. You will have strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple activities while maintaining attention to detail. Experience in fundraising, events, customer engagement or supporter care would be beneficial, although full training will be provided.

Every interaction you manage will help ensure supporters feel connected to the Hospice and inspired to continue supporting the care we provide to families across South Warwickshire.
