Are you a fundraising leader who wants to use your skills to support a charity which helps people across the Fylde coast live their lives to the full and live well to the very end?

Trinity Hospice is a much-loved local charity with a brilliant reputation. They believe in focusing on the positives within in the palliative care industry, providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness to improve quality of life for them and their loved ones. They do this through recognising that each person has individual needs and caters to these needs through offering their services in the hospice, the hospital, at home, or residential care home. They are looking for a Head of Fundraising to cover maternity to support them to continue to achieve their mission of Enabling Compassionate Care on the Journey to End of Life.

About the Role

The Head of Fundraising will take responsibility for delivering Trinity's three-year fundraising strategy, covering all income streams including community and corporate fundraising, organised events, lottery, legacies, trusts and individual giving, to ensure the growth of sustainable income for the hospice. You'll motivate and inspire the fundraising, marketing, and communications team, encouraging them to deliver targets and develop their skills.

Through collaborating with the Communications manager and team, you'll develop and implement a marketing strategy, delivering strong messaging, campaigns and brand awareness for both income generation and non-income generation activities across the organisation. You'll ensure that current supporters feel appreciated, while attracting new donors through building the hospice's profile across the community. As Head of Fundraising you'll be a member of the executive team, playing a pivotal role in bringing Trinity's goals to life.
