Queenscourt Hospice is an independent charity that provides free, specialist palliative care for the people of Southport, Formby and West Lancashire. We care for patients with advanced progressive, illnesses, helping them to achieve the best possible quality of life.

The Events Fundraiser at Queenscourt Hospice will take full ownership of an events portfolio, with a clear focus on meeting and exceeding income targets through innovative and impactful fundraising activities. The postholder will be fully accountable for setting, managing, and delivering against agreed budgets and plans, as the role is not only to deliver and evolve the existing events programme but to develop ambitious new initiatives that drive income and engage the local community.

Working closely with key team members, local supporters, volunteers, and external partners, the role holder will play a leading role in growing Queenscourt events income year on year, and line-manage the Fundraising Assistant.
