We are looking for a brilliant relationship-builder to join the Bolton Hospice team in this new role, growing income from high-value corporate and individual supporters.

As an independent charity, we need to raise over £4 million every year to continue to provide our expert care and support for local people facing terminal and life-limiting illnesses, and their families.

If you’re a self-starter who would relish the opportunity to put your skills and experience to good use at a much-loved local charity, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Part Time 30 hours per week

(Hybrid, worked over 4 or 5 days)

Salary £34,717 - £37,444 pa, pro rata

(Actual £27,774 - £29,955)

 

The Role:

As Major Relationships Development Manager, you will be responsible for building and growing our pipeline of high value support (£10,000+) from companies and individuals, delivering new income for the hospice.

In this highly proactive role, you will focus on securing long-term support to achieve financial and non-financial KPIs, contributing to sustainable income growth.

You’ll develop your own networks and work with colleagues across the department and wider hospice team to identify prospective major supporters, then cultivate relationships and make thoughtful, well-researched approaches.

You’ll also provide high-quality, bespoke donor care to major supporters, ensuring they remain engaged with our work and inspired about the impact their support is making to our patients and families.

 

What you need:

First and foremost you’ll need to demonstrate that you have a great track record of securing support – researching prospects, building relationships and getting results. This could be in a corporate or philanthropy role at a charity but we are equally interested to hear from business development or commercial sponsorship professionals from other sectors who want to use their skills in a new context.

You’ll need highly developed interpersonal and relationship building skills, and be articulate and credible when communicating with a wide range of stakeholders.

You’ll be someone who is self-motivated, thrives in a target-driven environment, and is tenacious and resilient.

At Bolton Hospice we support and champion each other (it’s one of the reasons why it’s a great place to work!) so although you’ll be working towards your own targets, it’s really important to us that you have a strong teamwork ethic. You will also need to share our values, and of course be passionate about our work and the difference you can make.

 

Why Bolton Hospice?

We offer our employees an attractive benefits package, including generous annual leave (starting at 35 days a year including bank holidays and rising to 40 with long service, pro rata for part time), a contributory stakeholder pension scheme, life assurance, membership of a healthcare cash plan and excellent training opportunities.

You will be working within a friendly and committed team, and be supported to develop and implement your own ideas to make a positive impact in your role. We are flexible about how you work your contracted hours and some of them can be worked remotely.
