Whilst varied, my main duties included building relationships with supporters from all different walks of life including community groups & corporate donners, and maintaining those relationships so that they would continue to support the Hospice. This position was based within Income Generation & whilst fundraising and negotiation was at the heart of my role, there was also a need for compassion & understanding when talking to people on a daily basis, due to the nature of the business. This role required me to be fully competent in the writing of professional letters, emails & at times, text & copy for things such as marketing materials, social media campaigns etc. The organisation used numerous computer software packages & databases, such as Excel, Outlook, Teams, Raisers Edge, of which I used regularly. I was also required to handle cash & ensure that it was dealt with in the correct, secure manner.I was lucky enough to head up the events side of the department, due to my previous work experience and was responsible for arranging and managing a full program of events throughout the year. This included liaising with local venues, suppliers, participants, with the focus of building awareness of the Hospice, bringing in much needed funds, building the database & engaging with the local community. As a representative of the Hospice, I was always required to be smart, presentable, friendly and utilise my communication & personable skills. Show less
