Deputy Charity Director & Fundraiser

Job description

The Countess of Brecknock Hospice provides expert, compassionate palliative care to people with life-limiting illnesses in Andover and the surrounding areas. Care is delivered both within the hospice’s beautiful new premises and out in the local community — and made possible by the generosity of local people and the work of our dedicated charity team.

The Countess of Brecknock Hospice Charity is now seeking an experienced and inspirational Deputy Charity Director & Fundraiser to help shape and grow our future. This is a pivotal new role, created at an exciting moment of expansion, and offers the opportunity to significantly increase our fundraising capacity, strengthen our impact and deepen our reach across the community.

If you are a strategic, hands-on fundraising leader with a strong track record of income growth across a variety of streams, we would love to hear from you. You will bring fresh thinking and proven experience in engaging individual supporters, trusts, corporates and the wider community — along with the drive and resilience to grow income from £800k to over £1m in the next few years.

This is a varied, rewarding role in a small, passionate team, where your ideas will be welcomed, and your impact will be clear.

Role: Deputy Charity Director & Fundraiser
Location: Offices based at the Countess of Brecknock Hospice in Andover, with some flexibility for hybrid working
Salary: circa £50,000 per annum depending on experience
Contract: Full-time, permanent (35 hours per week)

Amongst other criteria, the successful candidate will have:

  • A proven track record of successful income generation across multiple fundraising streams, ideally including major donors, events, trusts and foundations, legacies, corporate partnerships and community fundraising.

  • A proactive and strategic mindset, with the ability to spot opportunities, shape compelling cases for support, and deliver results.

  • The confidence to operate at a senior level and deputise for the Charity Director when needed.

  • Outstanding interpersonal skills and the ability to build meaningful, lasting relationships with supporters, donors and volunteers.

  • A deep connection to the mission of hospice care, and a commitment to our values of compassion, dignity and respect.
