Community/SME Fundraiser (Wiltshire)

About Us

At Julia's House we provide specialist care to children with life-limiting and complex conditions and support their families, giving them all a chance to have the magical moments and memories every child and family deserves.

Our amazing nurses and carers bring clinical care, fun, laughter and compassion to the children they support. We also give exhausted parents a much-needed respite break from around-the-clock care, with the peace of mind that their child is in safe hands.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, outgoing and committed Community Fundraiser to join our Wiltshire fundraising team.
