• A confident communicator, able to build warm, professional relationships with supporters, community groups, volunteers and event participants.
• Comfortable representing the Hospice at events, community engagements, presentations and cheque collections.
• Comfortable handling materials, signage, kit or equipment during event set up and breakdown
• Highly organised, able to manage multiple tasks, deadlines and competing priorities across events, community and challenge activity.
• A confident IT user with good digital literacy across email, Microsoft Office, CRM systems and online tools.
• A full, valid UK driving licence and aged 25 or over, in line with our insurance requirements, as this role involves regular travel across Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.

Experience of working or volunteering in a charity, fundraising or events environment is desirable but not essential – just as important is your enthusiasm, adaptability and genuine enjoyment of working with people.

If so, apply today and help us continue to provide outstanding care.
