Fundraising Coordinator

Due to the success of a new strategic direction, leading to an increase in income and impact, Newcastle Hospitals Charity has a fantastic opportunity for the right person to succeed in the role of Fundraising Coordinator. This role will join a collaborative and energetic team who raise funds from a variety of sources including events, community fundraisers and individual giving.

One of the largest NHS charities in the UK, Newcastle Hospitals Charity (NHC) works in partnership with Newcastle Hospitals to fundraise for and to support a range of projects that go beyond public funding and enable the Trust to deliver its ambition and deliver goals that the NHS can’t do alone. Projects supported by NHC include the purchase of specialist clinical equipment; capital infrastructure and initiatives that support the health and wellbeing of patients and staff. We are proud to make a genuine difference to people’s lives each and every day.

This role plays a key part in delivering the ambitious Charity strategy, linking the hospital charity, NHS staff members, and the local community.

You’ll inspire and bring out the best in our supporters, helping them to achieve their fundraising goals. You will understand supporters’ motivations and help them to support Newcastle Hospitals Charity in the way that appeals to them. All while ensuring you offer excellent levels of communication; fundraising guidance; suitably recognise their contribution; and demonstrate the impact of their support.

You’ll form productive and positive relationships with individual donors, staff, community partners, fundraisers and volunteers, to grow productive and positive relationships with them.

You will deliver exceptional donor stewardship that meaningfully connects with supporters and grows our supporter base, whilst developing a robust prospect pipeline. Relationship management is key to this role, the ability to connect with people on a very personal level, and with compassion.

You will be responsible for establishing a strong network of community partners, raising the profile of the charity by attending key networking events and staying abreast of key sector insights and trends.
