Fundraising Officer - Corporate

Job overview
An opportunity has arisen to join our wonderful fundraising team as a Fundraising Officer – Corporate, based at our Fair Havens Hospice, located near beautiful Priory Park in Southend on Sea, Essex.
This role is crucial in supporting the charity, specialising in the cultivation of corporate relationships within the areas Havens Hospices serve, maximising opportunities to develop new business across all areas of fundraising. This role will be responsible for the implementation of effective programmes of engagement and stewardship for corporate supporters, maximising income, and lifetime value, identifying high-net-worth corporate donors.
Although this role is generally spread across Monday to Friday, there is a requirement that the post-holder be available to work weekends, evenings, and bank holidays as and when required.
Some agile working options may be considered after successful completion of probation; however, this is predominantly an office and community-based role.
The post holder would need to hold a full and clean UK driving licence and have access to their own vehicle.
We regret that Havens Hospices is unable to offer any type of job sponsorship.
