Help us make a difference to people with life-limiting illnesses…
At The Myton Hospices, we provide specialist care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses, and their loved ones, from the point of diagnosis to end of life. We are a much-loved and well supported charity, at the heart of our community. We have three hospices, a range of community services, and 26 charity shops in Coventry and Warwickshire.
About the role
We’re on the hunt for an energetic and committed Community Fundraiser to join our Fundraising team. Our communities play a vital role in enabling us to do what we do, and we need you to help grow that support by reaching new supporters and inspiring them to get involved.
As a Community Fundraiser, you’ll engage, inspire and network with individuals, groups, schools, organisations and associations to support our cause. Your focus is on building new relationships and generating new donations, and nurturing and maintaining the valued community connections. You’ll bring creativity and fresh ideas to develop fundraising activities that are meaningful and relevant to the diverse communities we serve, ensuring Myton remains close to people’s hearts.
It’s an exciting and varied role where you’ll provide our supporters with exceptional ‘customer service’ and ensure they have the best possible experience fundraising for Myton, helping us expand our reach and increase support for our vital work.
This is a full-time position, 37.5 hours per week. You will be office-based at our Coventry Hospice, but with travel to all Myton sites when required. There will also be an element of home working available.

We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and from ethnic minorities, who are currently under-represented in our hospices.
