Fundraising Trustee (Board-level role)

The Company is seeking a Fundraising Trustee and Committee members to play a pivotal role in the strategic development of hospice fundraising. The successful candidates will be instrumental in shaping the future of fundraising for local care, particularly in the context of the Charity's growth and the need to diversify income to meet increasing demand. The Fundraising Trustee will bring senior strategic fundraising expertise to the Board, chair the new Committee, and work closely with the Senior Leadership Team to oversee fundraising strategy, performance, and identify opportunities for sustainable income growth. Committee members are expected to bring specialist expertise in various fundraising areas and contribute fresh ideas and constructive challenge. Applicants for the Fundraising Trustee and Committee member roles should have a genuine commitment to making a difference in local hospice care. The ideal Fundraising Trustee will have recent senior-level experience, be able to provide strategic leadership, and ensure the Charity's fundraising activities are in line with best practices and regulatory standards. While previous trustee or committee experience is not essential, a background in fundraising, particularly in areas such as events, individual giving, corporate partnerships, and major giving, is highly valued. The roles require individuals with strong commercial and analytical skills, the ability to work collaboratively, and excellent interpersonal and communication skills. The time commitment is approximately 1-2 days per month, and the initial appointment is for three years, with the possibility of renewal.
