Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference at a well-loved local charity?

An exciting opportunity has arisen to fundraise for a great cause. Bolton Hospice needs to raise £4 million a year to provide specialist care and support for local people and their families, and has an exciting entry-level vacancy in its successful fundraising team, initially on a temporary basis.

The Role:

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic new Fundraising Assistant to provide support for a range of fundraising activities and provide support to individuals, groups and companies who fundraise on our behalf.

You will assist in the planning and coordination of a number of fundraising initiatives and act as the first point of contact for supporters who need information, guidance and resources to support their fundraising.

You will support the Fundraising Manager and work alongside the wider team of staff and volunteers to maximize participation in fundraising activities, ensuring that they are effectively administered and that supporters always receive a high quality experience.
