Community Fundraising Support Officer, Band 3

Cheltenham & Gloucester Hospitals Charity supports the Trust's hospitals by raising, managing and distributing funds on behalf of Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The Community Fundraising Support Officer will support the work of our fundraising and operations team to ensure that the charity is effective and making the maximum impact for NHS Staff and local patients.

For the initial few months, this role will heavily support the operations team, but this will be balanced out with time spent in fundraising after a few months in post.

Duties will range from fundraising and financial support, inputting donations on the charity CRM system and thanking donors, supporting fundraisers and other critical functions of charity admin such as Gift Aid claims to help donations go even further, and helping the charity demonstrate the impact being made thanks to donations.
