[Hiring] Regional Fundraiser @Alzheimer's Society

Role Description

Dementia affects every community, and meaningful change happens when people feel connected to a cause and empowered to support it. At Alzheimer’s Society, fundraising plays a vital role in making our work possible. As Regional Fundraiser for Norfolk & Suffolk, you will help build and strengthen relationships across your local area to engage supporters, develop new opportunities, and ensure people feel confident and valued in the difference they are making.

You will be part of a collaborative fundraising team, working closely with colleagues across the region. The role combines relationship building, planning and delivery, with a strong focus on community presence and long-term engagement.

• Work closely with colleagues and volunteers across teams to deliver joined-up activity and shared goals.
• Monitor activity and income performance, using insight to support planning and decision-making.
• Represent Alzheimer’s Society at events and in community settings, including occasional evenings and weekends.

This role involves travel across Norfolk & Suffolk and occasionally wider areas in the region. Some evening and weekend work will be required, usually linked to events and community activity, and this will be planned in advance wherever possible.
