About The Role
The Business Development Officer will work closely with the Corporate and Community Fundraising Manager to secure new relationships across the Fylde Coast, developing a pipeline of sustainable income. Corporate is a well‑established income stream within the fundraising team, but there’s lots of opportunity to grow by building on the 40+ year reputation of donor care and fundraising products.
This organisation is preparing for its second large‑scale public art trail, scheduled for 2028. The role will play a key part in sponsorship recruitment, corporate stewardship, business engagement, and project planning and delivery – a significant corporate fundraising and sponsorship opportunity.
About You
We are looking for a natural relationship builder with experience in corporate fundraising, business development, sales, partnerships, marketing, recruitment or professional services. You should have a track record of meeting financial targets and balancing a demanding workload with competing deadlines. We value creativity and a growth mindset, and an appetite to deepen your understanding of fundraising.
Your role will require a full driving licence and access to a car, as you will travel around the region and be on site at the hospice.
