A fantastic opportunity has become available within the Fundraising & Engagement Team to deliver significant income from two key income streams and sustain our mission to ensure nobody faces dementia alone.

The Fundraising & Engagement Coordinator will report to the Fundraising & Engagement Leader, contributing to the delivery of our strategic objectives.

Whilst the role will work collaboratively to support all income streams, we are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has prior Corporate Partnership and/or Major Donor experience.

We are looking for someone who is naturally optimistic and empathetic, with a can-do attitude. You will be a self-starter, comfortable working independently, who thrives on building meaningful relationships. Applicants should enjoy and have a track record of working in a fast-paced and varied environment.

Successful applicants will have a positive attitude towards dementia, along with excellent communication skills and a caring manner. A pro-active approach to learn and participate in training will also be expected.

“Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling the heart of another”
