We are seeking a Community and Events Fundraiser to lead community and events fundraising for the charity. We’re looking for someone who is excited at the prospect of raising an incredible, but realistic, amount of money to support brain tumour patients and their families.
Building and maintaining valued relationships will be at the heart of this role, with a focus on delivering and sustaining excellent stewardship of donors and supporters.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:
- Experience successfully working in a fundraising role, ideally with a proven track record of achievement in community and/or events fundraising. However, we also encourage applications from individuals working in events, marketing, communications, or relationship focused sales.
- Good working knowledge of IT systems (Office 365, MS Teams).
We are seeking a passionate, entrepreneurial self-starter, with excellent written and spoken communication skills, and with the ability to build relationships with people from a range of backgrounds. You will be excited about building relationships with volunteers, supporters, carers, and patients alike.
