Interim Head of Fundraising

Could you offer the kind of caring leadership a fundraising team needs, so they can raise the funds that care for everyone else?

This is a 6-month interim Head of Fundraising role with the North West’s biggest adult hospice charity. You’ll lead and support a team that has just successfully delivered a major capital campaign and is now looking ahead to focus on ramping up revenue fundraising in 2026.

Location : Hybrid, cross-site (between Heald Green / Little Hulton) and home

Contract : 6-month fixed term (with potential flexibility), open to between 3-5 days / week

Salary : Hospice Band 7 (or competitive day rate for consultants)

This year is all about entering an exciting new chapter – with a brand refresh, major move to a new building and ambitious plans to diversify and grow fundraising income.

We’re looking for an experienced fundraising leader on an interim basis to steer the team through this period of change. It’s a pivotal role, sitting at the heart of the charity’s income generation strategy and supporting a talented, committed team through transition.

What’s happening right now?

• Capital campaign has closed, and focus is shifting back to revenue.
• Stable team of 15, looking for caring, compassionate and motivational leadership.
• Major events in the pipeline and looking for guidance and coaching to deliver.
• Current income target sits at £4.6m , with legacies playing a significant role – you’ll bring best practice guidance and the potential to lead diversification and growth.
